Tales of the Supernatural / Irish Rose

  

    "You were great, Mary!"  

     "When is your next film, Miss Flynn?

     " You must be thinking about an Oscar now, Mary!

     I read a book thathas some short stories. Irish Rose is one of the stories. This story is about a film star who is very beautiful woman. One day she joined a party, and there, she danced a lot with strangers. She danced danced and danced! After that she found out the time  had passed 100 years! She got very old woman.

got to be like that but I think this is kind of horror. I felt interesting and horrorable too. Other stories in this book is also interesting.

How I Met Myself

Every night from then on I had the dream in all its possible forms - the opening door, the running man, the loud noise who was looking for something.(p.54)

      The reason why I read this book is the title"How I Met Myself". I could't image the contant of this book, so I took this.
      This is the story of a man .His name is John Taylor, he works at a multinational company. One icy winter's evening , he saw a man, but he was not just a man, the man was John!  They had a same face completely...After this incident, John dreamed about this incident every night! He tried to research what that mean...
   
     I felt very interesting about this. If I met myself somewhere I would ask many questions to her!  In short, the man was "doppelgenger" so I think this is kind of horror, I think. If you don't like horror, you can read it, I think .

TWO LIVES

They had a second chance of a wonderful future together and this time nothing would be wrong.(p.64)

   This is a story about a woman and a man.They loved each other, but they have to depart from each other because of the man's brother' death. It was an accident and it was a sad incident.
   After that they can't see for 50 years! It was too long! However they met again accidentally. And they got married.I can't imagine how lonely they  were during the  50 years.
If you like a kind of love story, I recommend to read this book.
