This is Alberto Manguel's second Black Water book Black Water 2 More Tales of the Fantastic is a continuation of Alberto's first volume. It is not as phenomenal as his first, but extremely entertaining. Manguel has collected fine examples of fantastic stories or excerpts from novelists throughout the world. There are many stories (62) mined from the minds of great world authors, A. C. Clark, Bowen, White, Bixby, Fitzgerald, Rooke, and many others. There's some 930+ pages of the fantastic fantastic.

Lost in Translation

Worthy follow up to Black Water, albeit a little tame and BLACK WATER 2 is same as WHITE FIRE !!!

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 30 de marzo de 2015

It is again a fascinating collection of stories. Compared to the original Black Water , it may be a "watered down" version, in intensity or inventiveness.
One thing I miss is the intensity in the brief commentary, introduction or preface before each story which Mr.Manguel has so brilliantly written for the first one. The Black Water's introductions are a literary masterpiece in themselves. Condensed Universes of erudition, wit and beauty. Worthy of Borges himself. However, those that are found in Black Water 2 are a tad bit "regular", neat introduction on the authors and their works.

Nevertheless, it is a wonderful collection.

CAUTION : I bought Black Water 2 and a rare collection called " White Fire", assuming it to be the 3rd in the series ......lo and behold ! Black Water 2 is White Fire !!! .....PLEASE DONT BUY BOTH ! White Fire is from Picador with ISBN 0-330-31380-0 ( whose "original" Black Water I have ), whereas Black Water 2 is from Clarkson Potter, NY, with ISBN 0-517-57559-0.

So the ultimate twist in the tale is the this mystical revelation that Fire is Water 2.

PS. : The real trilogy is this - Black Water, White Fire and Other Fires ( short stories by Latin American Women Writers ---- which is a masterpiece worthy of the original ). Enjoy !

An immensely satisfying anthology.

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 18 de agosto de 2012

I have not read Alberto Manguel's original anthology, Black Water 1; I have heard that this second volume is inferior. If that is so, Vol. 1 must be one of the most overstuffed and gluttonously full anthologies compiled since Hugh Walpole's "Century of Creepy Stories."

While Manuel does not represent the pulp tradition of fantastic writing much at all, the best stories here are physical, palpable with atmosphere, and oftentimes more than a little psychologically sickening. There will be potholes in your subjective road, but most stories here are engaging and clever, and a handful are even 10's on the Richter-scale of "creepy." A previous reviewer noted that he/she would never have found this anthology if they consciously set out to search for dark genre work. This is unfortunate. There is plenty here to inspire and energize both readers and writers of horror and fantasy.

Just a few of the standouts that I had not personally read before:

- Robert Aickman, The Visiting Star.- Like many Aickman stories, this feels like a mystery tale where the mystery is never solved, and you begin to suspect that it consists of nothing but red herrings. That life itself is nothing but red herrings. Heavy on the dread, and no, you don't get any explanations. I've heard it suggested that Aickman's aesthetic ideology of horror was essentially surrealist. This seems to fit with that notion. Not the best Aickman story (for that my vote goes to "The Same Dog") but good.

-Mircea Eliade, Nights at Serampore.- The power of this story cannot be overstated. One of the best supernatural stories I've ever read. Scholars of myth and religion in India get lost in the woods, except that they don't, really. Is it a ghost tale, or is it something else? It is at least a twisted strain or mutation of some kind. The ending has a small twist in its tail that isn't cheap, and really caps everything off. The key word is: suffocating. Unbelievable. The feeling of "wrongness" edging into reality is performed in one of the most skillful literary surgeries I've had; demonstrating Manguel's thesis (via Wallace Stegner) of "black water seeping into reality" wonderfully. Even if you don't buy this anthology, find a way to read this story.

- Joyce Marshall, The Old Woman.- Set in the Canadian boonies, a woman goes to live with her husband in his cabin next to a deafeningly noisy dam that makes it difficult to sleep. He is no longer the person she thought he was. I won't say the rest of the plot. Something terrible to do with machines. This one's a keeper.

Philip MacDonald, Private - Keep Out!- An existential noir story. Would have fit in on the Twilight Zone. Unremittingly bleak.

Timothy Findley, Dreams. - A married couple, both psychiatrists, are dealing with irreparably damaged patients. One, a child that refuses to live. The second, a man who might or might not be a mass murderer. The phsyciatrists wander through the miasma of their careers and marriage with no escape in sight. After the Eliade story, this is the second standout.

Buy this, or read it at your local library. The standouts mentioned above are only a few of the best stories on here. Get a hold of it somehow.
