Ray Russell

    Ray Russell bol majstrom hororu, ktorého poviedky, romány a scenáre často skúmali temnejšie zákutia ľudskej psychiky. Jeho majstrovské dielo, poviedka „Sardonicus“, je považovaná za vrchol moderného gotického rozprávania, s atmosférou tak hmatateľnou, že sa dočkala aj filmovej adaptácie. Russell exceloval vo vytváraní napätia a hrôzy, ktoré čitateľov nenechajú chladnými. Jeho tvorba si zaslúžene získala uznanie pre svoju originalitu a prenikavosť.

      Teenager Susan Garth was "a clean-talking sweet little girl" of high school age before she started having "fits"--A sudden aversion to churches and a newfound fondness for vulgarity. Then one night, she strips in front of the parish priest and sinks her nails into his throat. If not madness, then the answer must be demonic possession. To vanquish the Devil, Bishop Crimmings recruits Father Gregory Sargent, a younger priest with a taste for modern ideas and brandy. As the two men fight not just the darkness tormenting Susan but also one another, a soul-chilling revelation lurks in the shadows-one that knows that the darkest evil goes by many names

    • Russell James Ray is credited with the first canyoneering descents of the Barrancas Sinforosa and Batopilas. It was an endeavor that spanned several years, and included a self-delusional non-first descent of the Barranca Del Cobre. He currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he dreams of other things.
