Night in the Cemetery: And Other Stories of Crime & Suspense | Anton Chekhov

2 posts | 8 to read

In stories like "A Night in the Cemetery," "Night of Horror," and "Murder," not only will Chekhov's dark humor and twisted crimes satisfy even the most hardboiled of mystery fans, readers will again appreciate the penetrating, absurdist insight into the human condition that only Chekhov can bring. Whether it is the death of a young amateur playwright at the hands of an editor who hates bad writing, or a drunken civil servant who ends up trapped in a graveyard, these stories overflow with the unforgettable characters and unique sensibility that continue to make Chekhov one of the most fascinating figures in literature.

Night in the Cemetery: And Other Stories of Crime & Suspense | Anton Chekhov

#TBRtemptation post 3! Chekhov is roundly considered one of history's greatest dramatists, while his literary career began as a crime and mystery writer. Here's a compilation of those stories 1880-1890. From the death of a young amateur playwright at the hands of an editor who hates bad writing, to a drunken civil servant who winds up trapped in a cemetery, the psychological suspense & dark humor may well captivate you. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Cathythoughts I haven‘t read Chekhov in years. A reread is called for ❤️ 7y

Jinjer I think I recently picked up a book of his stories on a whim at a 2nd hand shop! Runs to bookcase. I did! I‘m stacking the book you tagged in case I like the stories in my book and need more. 7y
