The 100 Best Horror Films

Miloslav Švandrlík is not just a grand master of humour. He is also at home among draculas, vampires, bloodthirsty beasts and all sorts of monsters. He feels positively blissful at midnight in a cemetery, on a desolate farmstead, in an old castle, or in a pitch-black forest. For years, he has paid unceasing attention to these locations and their inhabitants, and the proof of his interest is a series of short story books whose central theme is suspense, fear, horror and terror. Miloslav Švandrlík is extraordinarily inventive when it comes to scaring people and giving them goosebumps. This anthology of his best horror stories is convincing proof of that. Being scared with Švandrlík is a reader's delight, one that does not lead to being committed to a psychiatric clinic, but rather to a reading marathon until you have read all the way to the end. In this book, you can be scared and delighted a hundred times over. And how else but with humour! Illustrations by Jiří Winter-Neprakta
