Eventyr

KALD MIG ISMAEL. For nogle år siden - det kan være lige meget hvor mange - havde jeg få eller ingen penge i min pung og ikke noget særligt, der optog mig på landjorden. Jeg fik derfor den idé at sejle lidt rundt og se den del af verden, som er vand. På den måde forjager jeg min humørsyge og holder blodomløbet i gang. Når jeg kan mærke, at jeg er ved at få et dystert drag om munden, når det er regnvåd november i min sjæl, når jeg uvilkårligt standser op foran ligkistemagasiner og slutter mig til ethvert ligtog, jeg træffer på, og især når mit tungsind får sådan et tag i mig, at det kræver en stærk moral ikke med fuldt overlæg at gå ud på gaden og systematisk slå hatten af folk - ja, da finder jeg det på høje tid snarest at stikke til søs."Moby Dick" er den amerikanske kultklassiker af forfatteren Herman Melville. Bogen handler om sømanden Ishmael, der får hyre på hvalfangerbåden The Peqoud, som ledes af den gale kaptajn Ahab. Ahab er besat af den gigantiske, hvide hval, Moby Dick, og hans higen efter at få ram på det voldsomme dyr sætter alles liv i fare. ANMELDERNE SKREV"Den nye danske oversættelse af Herman Melvilles " Moby Dick" viser med al tydelighed, hvorfor romanen er et højdepunkt i verdenslitteraturen (...) Ismael er virkelig en helt særlig skikkelse, som man bør unde sig selv at møde mindst en gang i sit liv."- Kristeligt Dagblad"Melvilles skildring af fanatismens og galskabens anatomi er eminent, og selv om kompositionen af romanen kan virke uoverskuelig og strittende, da skyder plottet hurtigt en harpun i læseren og trækker ham ind i en langsomt, men støt, accelererende malstrøm (...) således ser en perfekt klassikeroversættelse ud!"- 6 stjerner, Berlingske

Dette er faktisk en novellesamling med fire historier. Flere gennemgående træk ses dog i alle noveller såsom en stor tung nøgle med initialerne HM, en stor sort ubehagelig hund med grønne øjne og ikke mindst en fortællestil, der får det til at løbe koldt ned ad ryggen på dig, mens og efter du har læst dem. Det hele foregår i en lille fredelig landsby ude på landet. Området har dog en dyster fortid, der bl. a. byder på en stor bygning ensomt beliggende på en bakke lige ved siden af en meget stor kirkegård, som selv ligger i nærheden af resterne af en ruin med en brønd, der efter sigende har været rammen om et drama for mange år siden. Det er dog ikke nødvendigt at være i nærheden af nogen af de steder, for at det kan gå helt galt. Forbandelserne lurer nemlig også i nye skikkelser, som er lige så dødbringende som de mere klassiske. "Grønne øjne" er en gyser for de garvede børn og unge. Kosten er til tider så hård, at det ikke kan anbefales til de sarte, der vil have deres nattesøvn i ro (fred være med jer). Langt de fleste anmeldere er af den opfattelse, at det er skrevet på en meget attraktiv måde og har en stil, som Dennis altid har været kendt for. Som hans første gyserbog går den dog lige til benet, når det drejer sig om at give dig kuldegysninger. Det makabre dukker til tider op som en trold i en æske og øger uhyggen til det direkte ubehagelige læsning. Det hele bliver dog holdt sammen af 4 historier, der aldrig mister overtaget mod det væmmelige, men holder det i kort snor, så læseren er nødt til at få det med. De fire historier er desuden vævet sammen af krydsreferencer (henvisninger til hinanden), så du for hver historie bliver klogere på de andre.
