Showing results for "Mill" in Horror

As a psychic, seeing ghosts is routine for Lili. She isn't surprised to discover spirits lurking in the renovated paper mill where she just bought an apartment. What she doesn't expect is the dark, sinister presence under the floor and the serial killer who is prowling about the mill.

But not everyone can be trusted, and soon, Lili fears the killer will flee, never to be found and free to strike again.

HARRY NOLAN is an expatriate American, making a meager living as an illustrator for a low-paying magazine, but his life is upended when he is assigned to illustrate an anonymous article about the death of a god—because a centuries-old French brotherhood, the sauteurs, are determined to suppress the story the article tells. The sauteurs have burned the magazine’s office and killed the editor, and Nolan has the only surviving copy of the article. The author turns out to be a local writer named ERNEST HEMINGWAY, who—at first—tries to distance himself from the article and its lethal consequences.

Das Land war auffallend hügelig, und in der letzten halben Stunde hatte mich der Pfad, bei meinem Bemühen, mich in den Tälern zu halten, so verwirrend um und rundum geführt, dass ich nicht mehr ahnte, in welcher Richtung das reizende Dorf B. lag, wo ich die Nacht zu bleiben gedachte.

Der Mann der Menge (auch Der Massenmensch, engl. The Man of The Crowd) ist eine Erzählung Edgar Allan Poes, die das literarische Motiv des verfluchten Wanderers benutzt. Sie wurde 1840 erstmals veröffentlicht, und zwar in Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine. In der Einleitung wird der Leser unter Bezugnahme auf ein deutsches Buch – den Hortulus animae aus dem Verlag Hans Grüninger – darauf vorbereitet, dass es Geheimnisse gebe, die zum Glück ebenso unergründlich seien wie dieses Buch unlesbar...

Ich weiß nicht mehr, wann oder wo ich mit jenem prächtigen Menschen bekannt wurde, dem Brevet Brigadier-General John A. B. C. Smith. Nur soweit entsinne ich mich, irgendjemand stellte mich dem Herrn bei einer öffentlichen Versammlung vor, die wohl aus einem bedeutsamen Anlass auf einem Platz abgehalten wurde, dessen Name mir leider entfallen ist. In Wahrheit strebte ich für meinen Teil diese Vorstellung mit einer gewissen nervösen Verlegenheit an, und die erstickte denn auch andre Eindrücke wie die von Zeit und Ort.
