A young man finds himself (foolishly) wandering beyond the city walls of 1850s Paris, making his way into the dust piles and garbage gatherings of the paupers. Living among the rags and the war-torn are giant, beady eyed rats. Hideous beasts that clean a dead (or dying) human body down to its skeleton before the flesh is even cold.Add to that a swampy quagmire and some curious psychic insights, and you have a masterful tale of the macabre that is not for the feint of heart"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wow, just when I thought I couldn't read any thing that would creep me out any more, I come across Bram Stoker's short story Burial of the Rats and have to say I got chills. The story, which is about an Englishman who is traveling through France and accidentally comes across a city of vagrants, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I don't know which was more suspenseful, the fact the traveler wound up having everyone chasing after him in an attempt to kill him and keep his valuables, a hunt that seemed more like a pack of wild animals than anything. Or, the fact that, if they would have succeeded, the thousands of rats would have picked his bones clean in a matter of minutes, removing all traces of the crime and even his identity, hence the title, Burial of the Rats.InfoClix.net

Download or read book The Burial of the Rats Be Annotated written by Bram Stoker and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Burial of the Rats" has the distinctive flavor of an Edwardian gentleman's magazine thriller, and it features all the necessary tropes for this genre: a young man forced to prove his manhood through his mental prowess and physical stamina, a white-knuckled chase scene, last minute escapes, themes of Social Darwinism and Nietzschean philosophy, a sense that the struggle is a coded rite of passage, a distant lover, degenerate villains without mercy or scruples, a battle against the natural elements, and a seemingly hopeless race against time. This type of story would become even more popular after World War One (its heyday being the 20's, 30's, and 40's) and revived after World War Two (where these sorts of action thrillers - the lone man fighting for survival against Nature and mankind alike - were beautifully adapted for male-centered radio programs like "Escape" and "Suspense"). Although he was preceded in the man-on-the-run thriller by Ambrose Bierce ("An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge"), Robert Louis Stevenson ("The Suicide Club"), and Rudyard Kipling ("The Man Who Would Be King"), Stoker's "Burial of the Rats" is among the first to perfectly epitomize the formula of the modern suspense thriller. Like "Three Skeleton Key" (lighthouse keepers are besieged by a hoard of carnivorous rats) it includes a Darwinian Man vs. Nature element that reduces its hero to his basic, primal instincts (class, education, and money are useless to him) and like in "The Most Dangerous Game" (a castaway is saved by a Russian aristocrat only to be released into the jungle and hunted as the man's prey) human beings are put in a predator/prey dynamic that forces them to rely on animal instincts and cunning to evade/capture one another. Suspenseful, disturbing, primitive, and bleak, it is among the best thriller stories of the Edwardian period.

Book excerpt: I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone with a sort of phosphorescence. Beyond the genre-defining influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short story form. This new collection of the author's tales represents his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the hallucinatory and dreamlike in 'The Shadow Builder' and 'In the Valley of the Shadow' to the more overtly horrifying in the mini- masterpieces of 'The Judge's House' and 'The Burial of the Rats'. Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the darkly comic 'Old Hoggen: A Mystery' and the morbid fairy tale 'The Castle of the King' to reflect the full brilliance of the legendary writer.

Download or read book Rat written by Jonathan Burt and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2006-01-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rat has been described as the shadow of the human: from ancient times through today, it has followed man via routes of commerce and conquest to eventually inhabit nearly every part of the world. Rats have a bad reputation—they spread disease, destroy agricultural produce, and thrive in the darkest corners of human habitation—but they have recently found credibility as a major resource for scientific experimentation. Jonathan Burt here traces the fortunes of the rat in history, myth, and culture. Central to Rat is the history of the relationship between humans and rats and, in particular, the complex human attitudes toward these shrewd creatures. Burt examines why the rat is viewed as more loathsome and verminous than other parasitic animals and considers why humans have had diametrically opposed attitudes about the rat: some cultures greatly admire the rat for its skills, while others consider the rat the scourge of the earth. Burt also draws on a wide range of examples to explore the rat's role in science, culture, and art, from its appearances in children's literature such as The Wind in the Willows to Victorian rat- and dog-baiting pits to its symbolic roles in folklore. Rat offers an intriguing and richly illustrated study of one of nature's most remarkable creatures and ultimately finds that the rat exists as a perverse totem for the worst excesses of human behavior.
