The Owl Flies at Night
Informacje o audiobooku
This short story is an experimental parody in the modern ghost genre. It uses irony and an unreliable narrator in the tradition of Poe’s ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’.
The narrator, Dr Eric Swell is an entirely fictional character and all of his views are tongue-in-cheek. The irony of his point of view becomes apparent later in the story.
This is story which simply asks the question: 'What if?'.
What if there were mysteries in this world which shouldn't be experimented with?
Readers of a sensitive disposition and younger readers are advised to read the story with caution... after all, look at what happens to the good Dr Swell.
