So i read Smarra quite a while ago but from what i remember its complete nonsense. Just random surrealism stuff, they say there's a vampire in there somewhere but i recall no evidence to that. [2/5]

Trilby on the other hand had a lot of potential, about a sprite who gets exorcised from the cottage he haunts. Its this conflict between the old pagan and new christian ideologies, good stuff. Unfortunately its completely overwritten, Nodier is similar to [a:Théophile Gautier|103384|Théophile show more Gautier|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1217372455p2/103384.jpg] in style. Overwritten, overlong and kinda falls apart at the end. [3/5] show less
Una obra extraordinaria, con un uso elegante del lenguaje, muchas enseñanzas y sabiduría.
This is a cautionary tale warning children not to stray too far from home and how a loyal dog will be selfless in defence of his family.
