Musings on the Dark

Font, Silvia

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2016

Musings on the Dark is inspired in myth, superstition, and old wives' tales. Add a pinch of truth; fact and fiction coexist in this collection of fantastic accounts. Author Silvia Font sifts the mediocre to find the exquisite, be it darkly humorous or frankly macabre. She believes that wandering away from the light of reality into the dim unknown may actually protect our sanity, or at least provide some poetry in a world of inescapable bad news and pitiless technology. So beauty will marry the beast, and they will have a child. Some of these stories will make you smile. Others, more often than not, will creep you out.

Notă biografică

Born a thousand years ago. Since early childhood, she has a been a tireless reader and listener. Raised by a family of soothsayers and storytellers (not as in liars but as in raconteurs), she was blessed with (semi)considerable wit, along with the gift of sarcasm and a good eye for the absurd. She soon committed to writing what she learned-or tried to-but she never published. Too chicken. Journalism was possibly a huge mistake for a somewhat mystic, spooky girl, but she made a living. And on the sly, she focused on the interesting stuff. She made her bones as a news and feature writer, editor, and translator, especially of literature. Font screams in her sleep, disturbed by eerie nightmares. They can be funny or horrific. She fears yet loves the dark, hates Daylight Saving Time (because it's stupid), but kind of likes the light.
