The Fly and Other Horror Stories

John Escott

28,930 words

ハエというものは非常に不愉快である。周りをぶんぶんと飛び回り、人々を苛立たせる。その反面手で簡単に追い払えもする。ハエは人間の爪半分ほどの大きさしかないのだから。しかし大きさが変わったとしたら。ハエを捕まえ、頭から足までよく観察してみよう。そしてそれが人間の大きさになったらどうなるだろうか?影に隠れた恐怖、そして生きている者と死んでいる者が手を組む場所に身を置く怪物や邪悪な存在の世界を様々な形で語り、恐怖をかきたてる。

Flies are a nuisance. They are annoying when they buzz around you, but you can brush them away with your hand. After all, a fly is only about half the size of your fingernail. But suppose it wasn't. Catch a fly and look at it closely - look at its head, its eyes, its legs. Now imagine that this thing was the size of a human being... These eight stories offer horror in many shapes and forms, in worlds full of monsters and evil spirits, where terror lies waiting in the shadows, and where the living and the dead dance hand in hand.
