The Burial of the Rats Annotated by Bram Stoker Pdf

"Bram Stoker, the master of horror and dark mind behind the most famous vampire novel in history-Dracula-brings us to the edge of our chairs again with a tale of a different variety. Here the horrors are not vampires, nor are they werewolves. Here the horrors are poverty and vicious, snarling rats. A young man finds himself (foolishly) wandering beyond the city walls of 1850s Paris, making his way into the dust piles and garbage gatherings of the paupers. Living among the rags and the war-torn are giant, beady eyed rats. Hideous beasts that clean a dead (or dying) human body down to its skeleton before the flesh is even cold.Add to that a swampy quagmire and some curious psychic insights, and you have a masterful tale of the macabre that is not for the feint of heart"

The Burial of the Rats Be Annotated by Bram Stoker Pdf

The Burial of the Rats" has the distinctive flavor of an Edwardian gentleman's magazine thriller, and it features all the necessary tropes for this genre: a young man forced to prove his manhood through his mental prowess and physical stamina, a white-knuckled chase scene, last minute escapes, themes of Social Darwinism and Nietzschean philosophy, a sense that the struggle is a coded rite of passage, a distant lover, degenerate villains without mercy or scruples, a battle against the natural elements, and a seemingly hopeless race against time. This type of story would become even more popular after World War One (its heyday being the 20's, 30's, and 40's) and revived after World War Two (where these sorts of action thrillers - the lone man fighting for survival against Nature and mankind alike - were beautifully adapted for male-centered radio programs like "Escape" and "Suspense"). Although he was preceded in the man-on-the-run thriller by Ambrose Bierce ("An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge"), Robert Louis Stevenson ("The Suicide Club"), and Rudyard Kipling ("The Man Who Would Be King"), Stoker's "Burial of the Rats" is among the first to perfectly epitomize the formula of the modern suspense thriller. Like "Three Skeleton Key" (lighthouse keepers are besieged by a hoard of carnivorous rats) it includes a Darwinian Man vs. Nature element that reduces its hero to his basic, primal instincts (class, education, and money are useless to him) and like in "The Most Dangerous Game" (a castaway is saved by a Russian aristocrat only to be released into the jungle and hunted as the man's prey) human beings are put in a predator/prey dynamic that forces them to rely on animal instincts and cunning to evade/capture one another. Suspenseful, disturbing, primitive, and bleak, it is among the best thriller stories of the Edwardian period.

Burial of the Rats by Bram Stoker Pdf

Wow, just when I thought I couldn't read any thing that would creep me out any more, I come across Bram Stoker's short story Burial of the Rats and have to say I got chills. The story, which is about an Englishman who is traveling through France and accidentally comes across a city of vagrants, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I don't know which was more suspenseful, the fact the traveler wound up having everyone chasing after him in an attempt to kill him and keep his valuables, a hunt that seemed more like a pack of wild animals than anything. Or, the fact that, if they would have succeeded, the thousands of rats would have picked his bones clean in a matter of minutes, removing all traces of the crime and even his identity, hence the title, Burial of the Rats.InfoClix.net

Paris has its night as well as its day life, and the sojourner who enters his hotel in the Rue de Rivoli or the Rue St. Honore late at night or leaves it early in the morning, can guess, in coming near Montrouge-if he has not done so already-the purpose of those great waggons that look like boilers on wheels which he finds halting everywhere as he passes.

The Burial of the Rats by Bram Stoker,Xavier Aldana Reyes Pdf

I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone with a sort of phosphorescence. Beyond the genre-defining influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short story form. This new collection of the author's tales represents his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the hallucinatory and dreamlike in 'The Shadow Builder' and 'In the Valley of the Shadow' to the more overtly horrifying in the mini- masterpieces of 'The Judge's House' and 'The Burial of the Rats'. Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the darkly comic 'Old Hoggen: A Mystery' and the morbid fairy tale 'The Castle of the King' to reflect the full brilliance of the legendary writer.

The Cellist’s Friend by Robert J Fanshawe Pdf

Set during World War One, The Cellists Friend is the story of one mans battle to redeem his own cowardice while recovering from a near-fatal war wound. Ben has witnessed his cello player soldier friend shot for desertion. The soldier they nicknamed Cello played his instrument while his firing squad sang the poem Invictus before they shot him. This seems a victory over death for Cello while showing Bens cowardice at not revealing the truth of the incident that led to the flawed accusation of desertion. Recovering from his war wound and developing a love through exchanged letters for Pearl, the widow of the Jamaican soldier who saved him, Ben is haunted by flashbacks and the words of the poem Invictus and seeks redemption through poetry. He meets Cellos parents, telling them how he died but cannot tell them the whole truth or see how he might recover the actual cello played by their son at his execution. As Ben faces a return to duty and Pearl unexpectedly arrives in London, will their love blossom despite racial prejudice? And how will a writer friend of Pearl enable Ben to finally find the courage to face the terrible grief of Cellos parents and begin his own redemption?
