A. E. van Vogt: L'horloge temporelle (J'ai lu) No rating

Grâce à l’étrange horloge de la demeure familiale, le petit Terry Maynard s’est glissé dans …

Comme souvent (toujours ?) avec Van Vogt, excellente compilation d'histoire, toutes plus imaginatives les unes que les autres....

Peter Malin: Out of the Dark (english language, Quaint devices) No rating

A young boy and an elderly woman seek closer from beyond the grave.

Peter Malin is not a professional writer, and unfortunately sometimes it shows. Some of the stories have an unpolished/unfinished touch about them. It is too bad because he does have a nice imagination, and the most elaborate stories (unsurprisingly about theater, a subject he knows well) are very well crafted indeed. All in all a pleasant experience anyway :-)
