ISBN: 9781470157135
Category : Fiction
Languages : en

Although ghost stories only formed a small part of F. Marion Crawford's prolific output, they are the stories for which he is now best known. These four classic horror stories represent Crawford at his ghostly best. This collection includes his most renowned story 'The Upper Berth', a chilling tale about a haunted stateroom on a trans-Atlantic passenger ship which was praised by M.R. James as one of the best supernatural stories ever written. Also included are 'Man Overboard', another first-rate nautical ghost story, and 'The Screaming Skull', about a skull which once bore witness to a horrible atrocity (the tale is based on an actual legend). 1. The Screaming Skull 2. The Upper Berth 3. By the Waters of Paradise 4. Man Overboard!

Horror Stories
Author: Darryl Jones
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199685436
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
Human beings are the only species to have evolved the trait of emotional crying. We weep at tragedies in our lives and in those of others - remarkably even when they are fictional characters in film, opera, music, novels, and theatre. Why have we developed art forms - most powerfully, music - which move us to sadness and tears? This question forms the backdrop to Michael Trimble's discussion of emotional crying, its physiology, and its evolutionary implications. His exploration examines the connections with other distinctively human features: the development of language, self-consciousness, religious practices, and empathy. Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the brain have uncovered unique human characteristics; mirror neurones, for example, explain why we unconsciously imitate actions and behaviour. Whereas Nietzsche argued that artistic tragedy was born with the ancient Greeks, Trimble places its origins far earlier. His neurophysiological and evolutionary insights shed fascinating light onto this enigmatic part of our humanity.
