Right from the beginning, the author creates a dark and gloomy atmosphere of a harsh winterโs night. The spell she is seemingly under is a โtyrantโ that completely paralyzes her. Yet at the same time, thereโs something resilient about the poet.
Welcome to the fifth consecutive words-of-the-year post โ my way of saying goodbye to the previous year here on the blog.
Iโm very happy to share with you the 13th title in the Grammaticus Free Library series! The latest release is a story by the American writer William Sydney Porter (1861-1910), better known as O. Henry. Like many of his other short stories, The Gift of the Magi has a delightfully surprising ending.ย
This time of year, my favourite thing to re-watch is the legendary BBC anthology series โA Ghost Story for Christmasโ. Originally broadcast between 1971 and 1978, each episode is a television adaptation of a classic ghost story, very much in the old tradition of wintertime storytelling focused on the supernatural and the otherworldly.ย
