John Collier

    16 décembre 1708 – 14 juillet 1786

    John Collier, auteur et scénariste d'origine britannique, est célébré pour ses nouvelles magistrales, dont beaucoup ont paru dans le The New Yorker. Ses récits sont réputés pour leur profondeur psychologique incisive et un humour noir, souvent satirique, qui révèle les motivations cachées et les perversités de la nature humaine. Collier mêle habilement des éléments de fantaisie, d'horreur et de grotesque, créant des histoires inoubliables et troublantes. Sa prose sophistiquée et son langage riche offrent aux lecteurs une expérience littéraire profonde et stimulante.
