"Edith Nesbits (1858-1924) spökhistorier måste betraktas som något av det bästa i genren än idag /.../ Föreliggande samling innehåller fyra mycket välskrivna noveller, som alla kretsar kring märkliga händelser med dödlig utgång." BTJ om Skuggan (häfte 2024:10)
I novellen Skuggan samlas en grupp flickor en sen kväll för att berätta spökhistorier för varandra, men det är hushållerskan, miss Eastwich, som kommer med det märkligaste bidraget. Hon berättar om ett besök hon en gång gjorde hos sin ungdomskärlek, en man som blivit övertygad om att ett ont väsen finns i huset och förföljer hans hustru. Ska miss Eastwich få uppleva samma hemskheter som han under sitt besök? Eller har han blivit galen?
Med sin på samma gång lättillgängliga och djuplodande stil har den brittiska författaren Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) skrivit flera barnböcker som blivit tidlösa klassiker, bland annat Järnvägsbarnen och Huset Ardens gåta. Hon har även skrivit böcker för äldre läsare, och i denna volym samlas några av hennes mest välkända skräckberättelser. Förutom "Skuggan" ingår även "Mörkret", "Nummer 17" och "Mysteriet med parhuset".
LÄTTLÄSTA KLASSIKER är en serie för ungdomar och vuxna där klassiker i novellformat varsamt har bearbetats till lättillgängliga berättelser, skrivna av berömda författare genom tiderna. I slutet av varje del finns en kortare biografi över författaren, samt mer information om de utvalda novellerna.
Fler recensioner av Argassos Lättlästa klassiker:
"Härligt välgjord bearbetning av en underhållande klassiker." BTJ om Mannen med den kluvna läppen av Arthur Conan Doyle (betyg 5)
"Denna utgåva ingår i Argassos serie Lättlästa klassiker och den är utomordentligt väl översatt till svenska och bearbetad till ett lite mer lättillgängligt språk". BTJ om Barnjungfruns berättelse av Elisabeth Gaskell (betyg 5)

"Edith Nesbits (1858-1924) spökhistorier måste betraktas som något av det bästa i genren än idag." BTJ
Ett ungt, nygift par bosätter sig på en liten gård ute på landet, inte långt ifrån byns gamla kyrka. Allt verkar fridfullt, men snart börjar hushållerskans prat om en urgammal förbannelse kopplad till gården och kyrkan att väcka mannens nyfikenhet. I kyrkan finns två stora marmorstatyer av forna riddare, lagda till vila på varsin stenbädd. Under en nattlig promenad upptäcker mannen att statyerna är försvunna, och spåren leder tillbaka till gården. Är Laura, hans hustru, i fara?
En gotisk skräckhistoria om kärlek, rädsla och gamla förbannelser av Edith Nesbit, vars barnböcker i dag räknas som tidlösa klassiker. Denna oavkortade volym är varsamt bearbetad till ett modernare språk och avslutas med en biografi över författaren, samt mer information om berättelsen.

Han förde mig in i den gröna vagnen. "Ni kommer att få se besynnerliga saker", sade den gamle. Vid dessa ord upplystes rummet av ett klart men blodigt sken. Stödda mot väggarna stod hela rader av lik, gula, hemska, vanställda. Några gapskrattade, andra vred sig i dödsryckningar; några var nakna, andra i rika dräkter. Halvnakna häxor red på bockskelett, fasliga gnomer hakade sig fast i väggarna; över deras huvudskallar skakade en vampyr sina fantastiska vingar. Hela denna vidunderliga värld av orörliga och döda skuggbilder såg ut att vilja skrika och flyga. Ihåliga munnar och tomma ögongropar brann som om blodflammor rann i deras ådror. "Nog!" skrek jag. "Nog, för guds skull!" 30 klassiska rysare samlas här i en antologi fullmatad med fasor, övernaturliga mysterier och gravlika stämningar. Skräckens klassiker samsas sida vid sida med nyupptäckta häxmästare. Och inga av dessa noveller har översatts till svenska i modern tid -- allt kommer att vara lika fräscht och nytt för läsaren som en exklusiv, vällagrad mögelost!
