THE BODY-SNATCHER

Παρουσίαση

This gruesome story was first published in the Christmas issue of the Pall Mall Magazine for 1884 and, although it had been written some time earlier, Stevenson initially laid it aside "in justifiable disgust, the tale being horrid." One night Fettes, an old Scotsman at the George Inn, is shocked out of his drunkenness by the sudden appearance of a shady figure from his past, Dr Wolfe Macfarlane. The sight of Macfarlane brings back terrible memories for Fettes, in particular, the nightmarish events of that stormy night in a rustic graveyard at Glencorse. (From the publisher)
