John Collier Knihy
16. prosinec 1708 – 14. červenec 1786
John Collier byl britský autor a scenárista, proslulý svými povídkami, které často vycházely v The New Yorker. Jeho díla se vyznačují pronikavou psychologií a temným, často satirickým humorem, který odhaluje skryté motivace a zvrácenosti lidské povahy. Collier mistrně splétá prvky fantazie, hororu a grotesky, čímž vytváří nezapomenutelné a znepokojivé příběhy. Jeho styl je vytříbený a jazykově bohatý, což čtenářům nabízí hluboký a podnětný literární zážitek.
