作者简介
Bernard Capes (1854-1918) was an English author whose prolific output spanned genres including historical fiction, mystery, and supernatural tales. Born in London, Capes was the son of a chemist and a descendant of Huguenot refugees, which perhaps instilled in him a fascination with history and the dramatic upheavals of the past. He began his writing career as a journalist, contributing to various periodicals before turning his hand to fiction.Capes' literary contributions are notable for their vivid storytelling and meticulous historical detail. His works often explored the darker sides of human nature and the supernatural, earning him a reputation as a master of eerie and atmospheric narratives. Among his contemporaries, Capes was admired for his ability to blend historical accuracy with compelling, often macabre, storytelling.One of the intriguing aspects of Capes' career was his ability to navigate the literary marketplace of his time, which was dominated by serialized fiction and the rise of the popular press. He was a contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle and M.R. James, and his work influenced the burgeoning genre of detective fiction and ghost stories. Capes' tales often featured morally complex characters and unexpected twists, which kept readers on the edge of their seats.Though not without controversy, Capes' work occasionally drew criticism for its dark themes and graphic depictions of violence. However, these elements also contributed to his lasting appeal and his ability to capture the anxieties of a society on the brink of modernity. His stories continue to be rediscovered by modern readers who appreciate the blend of historical intrigue and gothic horror that Capes so masterfully crafted.
