Παροχημένο ήμι-κάλτ θριλεράκι β'διαλογής κατευείαν από τα λατρεμένα 70'ς που θυμίζει την εποχή της Hammer. Επιφανειακή σχέση με το μεταφυσικό (απλά πετάει δέκα ονόματα έτσι για το ρόκ) αλλά παρόλα αυτά διαβάζεται πολύ ευχάριστα. Η μετάφραση είναι πολύ καλύτερη από όσο περίμενα, όπως και η συνολική επιμέλεια δεδομένου ότι είναι παμπάλαιο βιβλίο. Θα ήταν ενδιαφέρον μια νέα σειρά τέτοιων vintage ανανγνωσμάτων (τα περισσότερα είναι πιο διασκεδαστικά από τα σημερινά). Αν βρω και τα άλλα σίγουρα θα τα τιμήσω.

As a frequent consumer and reviewer of horror novels, I try to go in with as few preconceived notions as possible. Half of the joy is the moment of surprise that comes when you realize the book you’re reading is not what you expected. It’s fun.

But when I pick up a book with the word “devil” on the cover and with an incredible title treatment, I’ll be honest, I start to set a few internal expectations. I can’t help it.

So imagine my surprise when I finished John Burke’s (a.ka. Jonathan Burke, J. F. Burke, and Robert Miall) The Devil’s Footsteps (1976) without encountering the devil once.

No devil, you say? Then what the hell is it about? I’m glad you asked. Read the full review.

A little too Midsommar for me. But Caspian was hot for sure
