Arriving at Plas Helyg, Lord Julian's isolated estate, Henry can't speak the language and finds himself treated with hostile suspicion by superstitious villagers, whose beliefs in myths and magic he's inclined to dismiss. But when he discovers that his predecessor died under peculiar, inexplicable circumstances, his determination to uncover the truth leads him down a path fraught with danger-made all the more perilous by his headstrong, reluctant ally Linette, Lord Julian's niece. Linette has lived a lonely life as Plas Helyg's unconventional mistress: her uncle treats her with disdain, her father is long dead, and her mother, long plagued by strange spells and believed by everyone around her to be deeply unwell, spends most of her time locked away in her rooms. Fiercely self-reliant, Linette refuses to wear women's clothes, has no interest in marriage, and takes an interest in the welfare of the men working in Lord Julian's mines, against his wishes. Linette has always suspected something is not quite right in the village, but it is only through Henry's dogged investigations that the dark truth about those closest to her will come to light-a truth that will bind hers and Henry's destinies together forever in ways neither thought possible"--

By the time I was two-thirds of the way through, I couldn't stand it any longer; I cheated and checked out the ending--and I was blown away. I hope J. K. Winn writes her second novel very, very soon.

Un couple d'étudiants loue une maison pour les vacances à un vieil homme qui vit dans l'obscurité. Lui et elle sont surpris, en pleine journée, les rideaux sont tirés, une odeur de naphtaline règne, des bougies sont allumées, aucune trace d'électricité. Il est blafard, presque raide.Sur le lieu de villégiature, ils découvrent un manoir, le loyer serait acceptable pour un studio. Le parc est immense, un nombre démentiel d'arbres fruitiers, un jardin aux légumes abondants. Ils devront nettoyer la maison. Celle-ci n'a ni eau courante, ni électricité, ni gaz. Le tout-à-l'égout n'est pas prévu, peut-être un luxe que le propriétaire ne pouvait se payer.Dès les premiers jours, des faits étranges se produisent, un fantôme semble hanter les lieux. C'est une maison hantée, et pourtant, ils sont loin du pays de Galles. Ce n'est pas Halloween. Phénomènes inexpliqués, ils sont paranormaux, le mot paranormal est lâché. Ce n'est pas un château, tout au plus un manoir, une belle maison bourgeoise. Pour certains, le paranormal est aussi une attraction Apparitions dans les couloirs, la peur montre son nez.Frissons, labyrinthe où on tourne en rond, épouvante fantomatique, faits effrayants, passer la nuit au sein de cette maison est pire que de se coucher dans un cimetière. Une dame blanche se promène au salon. Ils ont presque envie d'appeler un Sir Stephen et une dame nommé Mary.  Cette demeure est une énigme. Peut-être qu'une légende existe.Un monstre qui n'est sans doute que surnaturel se promène au milieu jardin, une meute de loups l'accompagne. Il porte un masque d'arlequin. C'est une drôle d'idée d'avoir de tels animaux de compagnie.Un démon agite surement ce monde, il a dû s'échapper d'Édimbourg, un rescapé du clan Stuart. Il serait plus aisé de pratiquer une visite nocturne dans un asile que de rester dans cette maison à minuit sonnant.Se déambuler seule la nuit dans les catacombes serait moins effrayant.Les habitants du village leur apprennent que les locataires de ce lieu ne restent pas plus d'une semaine, ils disparaissent au cours d'une nuit. Le lendemain, le propriétaire surgit et ferme la demeure à double tour. Ils se cachent derrière les rideaux pour le voir. Le voir leur donne froid dans le dos. Avoir peur est le commun des gens de las bas. Une meute de zombies le suit surement, une hypothèse, il est tellement bizarre.

Ce texte peut être considéré comme une ¿uvre fantastique, un polar ou un conte de fée. Pourquoi, tout dépend de notre grille de lecture. Un roman social, ou un mélodrame sans musique.  C'est un drame au ton populaire où s'accumulent des péripéties que personne n'attend. C'est un thriller moderne, le suspense surprendra le lecteur.Antonio est un immigré italien, il est arrivé en France voilà 30, il a une cinquantaine d'années. Il est originaire du mezzo, c'est le sud de l'Italie. Il lui manque, son c¿ur est toujours là-bas, la France ce n'est pas un choix, mais une nécessité.Il vit dans la banlieue parisienne, à Montreuil, en Seine-Saint-Denis. Il travaille au service des égouts de la ville de Paris, des contrats de travail à durée déterminée de six mois, il ne les compte plus. Depuis 20 ans, il a franchi le cap des quarante contrats.C'est un héros malgré lui, il n'en a pas l'étoffe, ce n'est un individu sans c¿ur, il dévoile de l'empathie envers ceux qui n'ont rien. Ce n'est pas un mec musclé sans cervelle.Tous les matins, il se rend à Paris en métro, dans le onzième arrondissement de Paris. Paris historique lui ouvre les portes. Le faubourg Saint-Antoine, la place de la Bastille, la petite et la grande Roquette et le boulevard de Ménilmontant appartiennent au monde, ces lieux sont rattachés à l'histoire. La prise de la Bastille symbolise la chute de l'arbitraire, la déclaration Universelle des droits de l'homme.N'importe où qu'il aille, le passé lui cligne de l'¿il, d'autres noms poursuivent l'émerveillement, le cimetière du père Lachaise, Beaubourg, le marais. Ce sont des endroits emblématiques de la capitale.Mais le récit se déroule sous terre. C'est la ville souterraine sans Paris, des cafards, des rats, des mauvaises odeurs, le soleil est absent, une lumière blafarde illumine les murs. Jean Valjean l'a traversé. Ici, on n'évoque pas la piétonisation de la capitale.Au lever du soleil, au square de la Roquette, il rencontre une personne sans-abri, c'est une femme, elle s'appelle Marcelle. La vie au travers de la rue a fané son éclat, c'est une fleur qui a perdu sa beauté. Son visage terne et sans rire engendre la pitié. Il discute avec elle au sujet du temps qui passe. Il dépose un pain à côté d'elle sans dire un mot, et il s'en va.Son travail consiste à surveiller, réparer les canalisations, il en l'entretien des égouts, la mauvaise odeur l'incommode, le soir, il prend l'air, il respire. L'air parisien lui permet de chasser les mauvaises odeurs de cette ville souterraine. Il parle de gouffre, chaque fois qu'il descend.Un jour, il aperçoit, une ombre, il se persuade qu'il s'agit du fantôme de Jean Valjean, Victor Hugo a écrit qu'il était maire de Montreuil. L'ombre traine une patte, Jean Valjean aussi.

" Après quelques hésitations, nous trouvons enfin des bureaux qui semblent pour l'instant inoccupés et nous commençons immédiatement notre travail d'investigation.Evelia Castillo commence à fouiller méticuleusement ; chaque meuble, chaque bureau ou bibliothèque est inspecté. De mon côté je me contente de la suivre et de la protéger si nécessaire en gardant un ¿il sur les environs.Nous cherchons ainsi durant presque une heure, comme si nous étions des espions ou des voleurs et à la longue nous finissons par trouver ces fameux documents, mais à ce moment précis nous sommes soudain entourés par trois officiers de la marine royale ainsi qu'un autre individu tout de noir vêtu, sans doute l'un de ces mercenaires, féroce et sans pitié, travaillant pour la Compagnie des Indes Occidentales. Peut-être nous avaient-ils suivis ou nous observaient-ils en secret et nous n'avions pas remarqué leur présence..."

Dark Whispers is a collection of short stories of around fifteen pages each. The link that unites them, and which justifies this compilation, is the fantastic world.What is fantasy? This is what begins beyond reality.

By reading me, you will realize that they can create a distressing atmosphere..In this collection you will meet Paul Simon, a poor unfortunate who falls into a pond while fishing. Drowning, do you think? No, he became a fish. This fact seems surprising, but in the country where I am taking you, it is a usual fact.The Ribaud family has a well in the middle of their garden, it is quite extraordinary. To say the least, I don't know if you want the same in the middle of the plot of land that you have in front of your terrace.Albert Bergen lives in Begles on the outskirts of Bordeaux, nothing extraordinary, I grant you. In the morning, he meets a little girl who plays hopscotch every day; what is going to happen becomes completely unimaginable. However, when a kid plays such a game in the land of tablets and smartphones, we could be worried. But there, anxiety grips us as we continue reading.And other surprising stories await you, so if you like the unusual, buy this book.
