Synopsis

Abraham Merritt's Burn, Witch, Burn! -is like a detective novel masquerading as a dark fantasy novel. It’s a cross-genre experimentation from the late 20's, blending horror, fantasy, and crime drama.

An unfortunate neurologist named Dr. Lowell, finds himself confronted with a series of mysterious deaths. Each victim falls into a state of paralysis, before later convulsing and finally expiring, stiffening into an abrupt rigor mortis. Merritt weaves a mix of creeping dread, action and mystery of animated, demonic, murderous toy dolls and gangsters on the loose in NYC. Of all the evil "living doll" stories, this weird tale is definitely the most original and frightening and supports a great super villainess character in the shape- changing monstrous Madame Mandilip. It's an unforgettable performance reading by Oscar nominated Makeup FX Artist Edward E. French.

Goodreads review by Overhaul on May 05, 2023

Combinando de manera eficiente el terror y el folclore con la ciencia moderna, ojo, de la época en que se publicó, teje una historia inquietante sobre lo que sucede cuando el mundo que nos rodea, basado en la ciencia, termina fallando. Una idea ciega en que todo tiene su explicación pero que pasa cu......more

Goodreads review by Chelo on February 28, 2024

Una historia muy interesante y que se lee muy rápido. Además, describe escenas muy visuales y escalofriantes que me recuerdan al terror cósmico. El último capítulo en el que se pretende dar la explicación me sobró un poco.......more

Goodreads review by Oscar on June 26, 2017

El doctor Lowell, insigne neurólogo, nos narra esta insólita y aterradora historia. Todo empieza cuando Ricori, un reconocido mafioso, lleva al hospital a uno de sus hombres, que padece un extraño mal. Aunque parece comatoso, aparentemente está bien físicamente, pero las muecas de su rostro son diab......more
