Apr 09, Simon rated it really liked it Shelves: horror , short-stories. I was looking forward to reading another collection by this author after thoroughly enjoying Midnight Call and Other Stories and was not disappointed. Even more varied than that collection, although not containing as many stories, this showcases his versatility as an author.
The themes explored in these stories include the dark side of human nature, supernatural encounters, dystopian futures and monstrous deities. He pays a healthy respect for the classics of the field yet injects his stories I was looking forward to reading another collection by this author after thoroughly enjoying Midnight Call and Other Stories and was not disappointed. He pays a healthy respect for the classics of the field yet injects his stories with originality and thematic twists that place them firmly in the here and now. I don't know of any other author that writes in quite the same way.
In "Power of Midnight", he suggests that the radical shift in cultural direction at the end of the 70's ushered in by the Regan era might have been brought about my one's person's listening to a forbidden cursed album, an audio "necronomicon". In "Tempting Providence" the protagonist is visited by Lovecraft's ghost in a sequence of events that appears to parallel Lovecraft's own story "Haunter of the Dark".
A few of the stories I wasn't as keen on, such as "The Salvage Saints" which went on overly long in my opinion and "The Men At the Mound" which just didn't do much for me. But these were exceptions to the rule in otherwise quality collection. May 03, David Marshall rated it really liked it.

This is a particularly varied and interesting collection of stories ranging from the simply weird, to Lovecraft-influenced weird to more contemporary fiction in which an element of strangeness intrudes. This is worth seeking out. Sep 07, Roger Walker rated it really liked it. Overall a solid anthology. May 23, Jake Mcivry rated it it was amazing Shelves: fiction , lovecraftian , heathen.

Article excerpt
With those words, Chafe had his defining metaphor for the play. Although Chafe thinks he may have once met Lien briefly, he mostly knew him by reputation. He says Lien, who was awarded an Order of Canada in for his work in preserving the marine environment, was also an eminently practical man. He remembers being at sea and a humpback circling the boat again and again, obviously curious. For tickets and more information: NAC box office, Ticketmaster outlets, , nac-cna.
Patrick Langston covered English professional theatre for the Ottawa Citizen from to He also wrote about music, travel, the local housing industry and other subjects for the paper. Directed by Jillian Keiley. No remaining performances. The Vancouver run of Tempting Providence will be over by the time you read this, but the play has just begun a nine-week tour through the province. If you missed it here, consider a road trip. It's worth it. Playwright Robert Chafe pays homage in his script to Myra Bennett, a tough-as-nails nurse who moved from England to Daniel's Harbour, a remote village on the Newfoundland coast, in She had a contract for two years; she ended up spending the rest of her life there.
The play explores both her pragmatic heroism as the only medical practitioner on a mile stretch of land, and her private life-especially her romance with Angus Bennett, whom she married within a year of her arrival. This is a true ensemble piece, and the four actors deliver seamless, precise work.
Deirdre Gillard Rowlings skillfully reveals the humanity beneath Myra's steely exterior, with a gentle twinkle in her eyes every time the character's relentless practicality is challenged or mocked.
