James Hogg

The Brownie of the Black Haggs (Fantasy and Horror Classics) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the pen of James Hogg, the celebrated Scottish author known as the "Ettrick Shepherd" and master of Gothic fiction and rural tradition, comes one of the most unsettling and psychologically complex supernatural tales in Scottish literature.

The Brownie of the Black Haggs features the titular Brownie--a type of benevolent or mischievous household spirit in folklore--but here transformed into a chilling agent of malevolence and judgment. The story focuses on the household of the cruel and ruthless Lady of the Black Haggs, whose cold-hearted actions invite a terrifying and seemingly inescapable spiritual retribution. The Brownie begins to torment the household, but its presence serves a double purpose: to punish the wicked Lady and to expose the inherent madness and darkness of the human heart.

This compact masterpiece is a profound blend of Scottish Gothic horror, folklore, and intense psychological drama, essential reading for fans of deeply atmospheric, chilling supernatural fiction.

Autorenporträt

James Hogg (1770 - 1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand and was largely self-educated through reading. He was a friend of many of the great writers of his day, including Sir Walter Scott, of whom he later wrote an unauthorized biography. He became widely known as the "Ettrick Shepherd", a nickname under which some of his works were published and the character name he was given in the widely read series Noctes Ambrosianae, published in Blackwood's Magazine. He is best known today for his novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. His other works include the long poem The Queen's Wake (1813), his collection of songs Jacobite Reliques (1819) and his two novels The Three Perils of Man (1822), and The Three Perils of Woman (1823).
