The Terrors of the Night
The Terrors of the Night | Thomas Nashe
6 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
'...dreaming of bears, or fire, or water...' The greatest of Elizabethan pamphleteers, Nashe had a magical ability with words, never more so than in The Terrors of the Night, where he mulls over ghosts, demons, nightmares and the supernatural. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Thomas Nashe (1567-?1601). Nashe's The Unfortunate Traveller and Other Works is available in Penguin Classics.

Mehso-so

I kinda liked it, in a weird way, for the pure insane rambling that it was. It was not what I would call good necessarily, but it was amusing in its own sort of way.
However, it was nothing like the blurb suggested, and it was much more like a religious rant than a scary story which is what I expected. Also, apparently worms are just spirits....

0.5 🌟/5. What the hell did I start reading? The title of this book is so misleading, there are no spirits or monsters in this one. I DNF'd after 10 pages.

With a title like that, I wanted there to be more demons and spirits. Writing style was hard to follow at times.

erinreads I love how terrified your cat looks here, though! 😹😻 7y
Brie @erinreads She does look quite frightened! I thought it fit the title. 7y
