Collected Stories 2 is an omnibus edition for four previously-published short story collections by Ruth Rendell: The New Girlfriend (published in 1985), The Copper Peacock (1991), Blood Lines (1995) and Piranha to Scurfy (2000). As ever with such collections, one person's favourite stories might not match another person's choices, but the writing itself is the reason to read them all. Rendell has had a long and very distinguished career as a novelist, but she also excels at shorter lengths as well, particularly with respect to showing the underlying horror in ordinary lives and experiences. I find this anthology to be best read in blocks rather than all in one go, simply because there are so many stories included, but any fan of short stories will be well served by this book, however they choose to consume it.

The New Girl Friend was published in 1985, and the title story earned Rendell her second Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allan Poe award. 'Every tale is carefully crafted and climaxed, her feel for lurking malevolence is as assured as ever.' -The Times Then came The Copper Peacock in 1991, a collection of nine short horror stories in which 'the macabre potential of blameless situations such as village fetes, aquariums and even the broom cupboard are explored to provoke maximum unease in readers.' -Sunday Times Blood Lines, first published in 1995, includes the long title story and a novella, The Strawberry Tree, as well as nine short murder mystery stories. 'Ruth Rendell remains one of the most stylish, chilling and challenging writers around.' -Tribune Piranha to Scurfy, a collection of disturbing psychological short stories followed in 2000. 'Horror does not shake its gory locks directly at us, but hovers on the periphery of our inner vision, hidden among the ordinary, the everyday.' - Jane Shilling, Sunday Telegraph Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
