Summary
T.E.D. Klein: The Dark Gods
Klein's greatest achievement in horror literature is his fusion of the cosmic horror of Lovecraft and Blackwood with the psychological realism of modern horror writing. Klein achieves this unity with more harmony, so that there is a remarkable balance between external and internal horror - the horror of a hostile cosmos and the horror of a potentially deranged reason. Using prose of great flexibility but also firmness, because he is the ultimate master of the technique of the short horror story, so he describes characters and environments with simultaneous humor and pleasantness and depicts the atmosphere and atmosphere with seemingly imperceptible lightness, Klein is so far above his colleagues in the literature of horror that he deserves to gain significant recognition from literature in general. One would only wish that his pen would slide more smoothly.
