Лучшие книги Джеффри Барлоу

Мир, в котором жизнь и цивилизация существуют лишь на побережьях Европы...
Мир, в котором ледниковый период так и не закончился.
Здесь викторианские сквайры охотятся не на лис и оленей, а на мамонтов и саблезубых тигров.
Здесь, по меткому выражению журнала "Локус", "Диккенс соседствует с Лавкрафтом".
Таков мир трилогии Джеффри Барлоу, блестяще начатым романом "Спящий во тьме" - и продолженный романом "Дом в глухом лесу".
Печать на древнем колодце разрушенного аббатства вскрыта - и в уютный, теплый деревенский мирок вторглось Зло.

Populated by a host of colorful characters, author Jeffrey E. Barlough's new, tenth volume in his acclaimed Western Lights series of fantasy-mysteries is a delight of the imagination - a voyage of discovery, a puzzle, a chilling tale of horror, and a light-hearted cavort, all in one. Set in the ancient episcopal city of Bogminster, in deepest Slopshire, the new work is an engaging mix filled with surprises. What, for example, is the thing that has been haunting the hallowed walks of the Cathedral close? Who is the enigmatic stranger who has descended - literally - upon Bogminster in the dead of night? And last but hardly least, what to make…

For as long as most anyone can remember, there has been a monster in Eldritch's Cupboard. Just who is this Eldritch, you may ask, and where is his Cupboard? And why does he keep a monster in it? So begins author Jeffrey E. Barlough's account of the extraordinary adventure on hand in the new, ninth volume of his acclaimed Western Lights series of fantasy-mysteries. Set in the remote, small town of Dithering in the Lingonshire dales (it's on the road to very few places), the new work is described by the author as a grim little tale, unlike any other in the Western Lights series ... a wild ride through some of the strangest country in the…

A creeping shadow, a bump in the night, a thing in the trees -- these are but a few of the surprises lurking in the pages of The Cobbler of Ridingham, the eighth volume in author Jeffrey E. Barlough's acclaimed Western Lights series of fantasy-mystery novels. The new work relates a curious adventure that befell Richard Hathaway (Bertram of Butter Cross, Ebenezer Crackernut) while visiting at Haigh Hall, the home of a family acquaintance, Lady Martindale, on the marshes outside the quaint old town of Ridingham. What is the curse that hangs over the Martindales? What secrets preoccupy certain members of the household? What is it that her…

What I Found at Hoole is the highly-anticipated seventh book in author Jeffrey E. Barlough's acclaimed Western Lights series of fantasy-mysteries. Its narrator is young Mr. Ingram Somervell, who has been called to the remote village of Hoole, in the uplands of Ayleshire, to inspect some property bequeathed to him by an uncle he had never met. Almost at once he finds himself plunged into mysteries that confound him. Why had Clement's Mill, a dilapidated old mill that did no milling, been left to him, and the bulk of his uncle's estate left to a stranger, Miss Petra Solsgrace, from the distant town of Kirklade? Why had his uncle ordered the…

FEAR HAUNTS THE TURRET ROOM . . . It is hard to say just what sort of noise it was. I swung the lamp round and scanned the darkened chamber. I saw no one, of course, and nothing. It was then that my ears caught hold of it -- a faint, energetic whispering, as of a voice struggling to make itself heard. My scalp tingled with a sudden sense of impending danger. All in an instant I spied a glimmer of movement, and was struck cold to see a strange, ghostly shape swimming in the air before me. The words it was whispering were but two, louder now, and repeated several times over in a desperate, pleading tone -- HELP ME! A vanished professor, an…

Bertram of Butter Cross, the fourth volume in author Jeffrey E. Barlough's acclaimed "Western Lights" series of fantasy-mysteries, is a magical tale of yearning and loss and the tyranny of years. And like the other Western Lights books in the genre that Barlough has made all his own, it is a tale chock-full of mystery. What, for example, is the hideous, snake-necked monstrosity that has been roaming Marley Wood? Who are the phantom riders seen plunging through the wood by moonlight? And above all, who is the strange small boy found living in the ruined hunting-lodge deep inside the forest? Return now to the Ice Age world of the "sundering,"…

Set in a world where the Ice Age never ended and only a narrow coastline of civilization survives, where Victorian society exists alongside saber-toothed cats and woolly mammoths, Strange Cargo is the newest and most darkly engrossing novel yet from the author of Dark Sleeper and The House in the High Wood...
