One thing I like about Mr. Van Melsen is that he is no action hero, he doesn't engage in pugilism or shoot down dozens of cultists. I am not even sure how much of an occultist he is. He is just a paranormal investigator, well read and with a good instinct for the unusual.

Thank you Ian, absolute pleasure to listen to as always. I really like the feeling that there is a sort of science behind all the occultism. At least the characters imply that and seem to believe it. Especially the discussion between Cane and Van Melsen about active elements really sold the idea that you are listening to two experts speaking in occult jargon without it feeling like a lore dump. Very tasteful!

For me, the best one of Peter Van Melsen yet. It's so cool that the story also carries a flavour of some of the best classics. And diction has been executed superbly (the one knows his own creation best). Dreams can really be hellish and fearfull, don' I know it... As Jordan Peterson have sed: "...yeah, only because you haven't been in hell, it doesn't mean that it doesen't exsist, buddy!" With all the specal effects that we have today, it would be ashame not to film all the stories (old and new ones) especialy this one. A masterpiece. Once again, greetings from Croatia

I am detecting vague scents of The Dark Tower in this one... I can't say I'm familiar with much older literature, but I grew up glued to King's books, & this entry in the Van Melson series reminds me vaguely of the dark tower & a bit of the stand. Namely the pursual... The man in the hat... The man in black? Randall Flagg vibes? Regardless of inspiration or nods this is fantastic. Will be seeking out the rest of this series.

@HorrorBabble 7 ай бұрын

There are indeed some similarities, despite the fact that I didn't read The Dark Tower series till after penning the first draft of this many years ago. I think the idea of a mystical tower or mast for me personally was inspired by the TV mast at Winter Hill that I could see from my bedroom window growing up: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Hill_transmitting_station That, coupled with a wide variety of obscure stories, video games, and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis. (at least, these are the things that spring to mind when thinking about it)
