Tripletta di Mezzanotte: Tre Agghiaccianti Novelle Canadesi
by Steve VernonMi piace un buon romanzo. È come un bel pugno secco nell’addome. Dato per bene - ha un impatto! "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa" è stato originariamente pubblicato come una novella a sé. Volevo scrivere un film di serie B - ma ero troppo pigro per imparare a scrivere una sceneggiatura - così ho deciso di scrivere qualcosa che avrebbe divertito sia i lettori che me stesso - tanto quanto un buon film di mostri di serie B - come "Tremors" o "Ragazzi perduti" o "Fright Night-Il vampiro della porta" accanto o "30 giorni di buio". Sono stato a lungo affascinato nel vedere come la gente comune si comporta di fronte al male. Questi sono i miei personaggi preferiti – persone semplici, comuni. Mi piace immaginarle coraggiose e romantiche e selvagge e piena di vita - perché tutti abbiamo questo potenziale sepolto dentro di noi in profondità. Così - quando mi sono seduto a scrivere "Un straordinaria morte improvvisa" ho preso le persone più difficili che avessi mai immaginato e le ho gettate contro le forze delle tenebre. "Hammurabi Road" è stato originariamente pubblicato nel 2007 come la seconda novella di una raccolta di due novelle intitolata HARD ROADS - pubblicata da Gray Friar Press. La storia è il mio modo di rivisitare la mia casa d'infanzia di Capreol, Ontario - una piccola città ferroviaria dove sono cresciuto. L'ultima novella - "Non una storia di fantasmi qualunque" non è mai stato pubblicato prima. Spero che questi racconti vi piacciano quanto mi sono divertito a scriverli.
