THE BLACK BOOK OF MODERN MYTHS: TRUE STORIES OF THE UNEXPLAINED
Book ID/图书代码: 11320008B28930
English Summary/英文概要: The world is experiencing an epidemic of supernatural events. For the most part they are unreported by conventional, print-based media, but reports of them rage around cyberspace. Many of these stories have achieved mythic status, like the stories in the bestselling books of urban myths of the early eighties. "The Black Book of Modern Myths" pulls together the most resonant of these stories, and reveals the disturbing trends that lie beneath. One thing that distinguishes these stories of the supernatural is that they are startlingly up to date. Discarding old world notions of the supernatural - black cloaks, and bodices, deserted country graveyards at night - "The Black Book of Modern Myths" shows us the supernatural caught in a bright digital glare. Modern technology has recorded the supernatural visually and aurally like never before. But could it also be opening portals to the demonic? "The Black Book of Myths" is referred to in Dino Argento’s cult horror flicks. Like its mythical inspiration, "The Black Book of Modern Myths" will be cultish, new, horrific, sexy, stylish, bang up to date and in your face.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 灵异事件不时发生。虽然传统媒界不对此进行报道,但是网络力量大,以讹传讹,传得沸沸扬扬。许多故事因而被笼罩上了一层神秘气息,同时与时俱进,难怪乎成为炙热畅销书籍,它是你的不二之选。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
