Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rich Fisherman, and Other Tales Sheer rock save this small nook alone But here in heaps the men are thrown Though every spark of life is gone. Brains ooze through bloody tangled locks As dashed by surge against the rocks, Slight was the storm, but yet suppose The most did thus their voyage close Strange, I repeat, that not a man Alive should land in Osterhaun. Soldiers by garb these strangers are, Most likely Swedish, from the war Which lasts so long beyond the sea And pays the fighters royally. Some gold or silver sure they bore Secured around them, to the shore, But naught of that, well knowest thou Is on a single body now. Well, Olaf, what hast thou in view? What leads this lengthy preface to Red Einar, this, - that Sigurd knows More of this business than he shows. No sluggard he when tempests rave And plunder loads the midnight wave, And small the chance of wreckage thrown 50 near his house to him unknown. When we aroused him, by the bed I marked his boots were splashed with red, His sealing club - Ha did I hear A human voice in tones of fear?

Download or read book The Fisherman written by John Langan and published by Canelo. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Illusory, frightening, and deeply moving, The Fisherman is a modern horror epic. And it’s simply a must read’ Paul Tremblay In upstate New York, within the woods, Dutchman’s Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked and fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other’s company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumours of the Creek and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss them. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it. ‘An epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M. R. James, Robert E. Howard and Norman Maclean. What you get is A River Runs Through It... straight to hell’ Laird Barron More praise for The Fisherman ‘Reading this, your mouth fills with worms. Just let them wriggle and crawl as they will, though—don’t swallow. John Langan is fishing for your sleep, for your soul. I fear he’s already got mine’ Stephen Graham Jones ‘What starts as a slow, melancholy tale gains momentum and drops you head first into a churning nightmare from which you might escape, but you’ll never forget, and the memory of what you saw will change you forever’ Richard Kadrey ‘The Fisherman is a treasure, the kind of book you just want to snuggle up and shiver through. I can’t say enough good things about the confidence, the patience, the satisfying cumulative power of this book. It was a pleasure to read from the first page to the last’ Victor LaValle ‘Stories within stories, folk tales becoming modern legends, all spinning into a fisherman’s tale about the one he wishes had gotten away. Langan’s latest is at turns epic and personal, dense yet compulsively readable, frightening but endearing’ Adam Cesare
