ndz's review against another edition
No conozco una historia de Machen que no sea recomendable, pero "Un fragmento de vida" y ahora también "El terror" son mis favoritas. Cuando un personaje anda de curioso, investigando los secretos del cerebro o preparando pócimas de origen arcano, te puedes imaginar por dónde van los tiros. ¿Pero qué pasa cuando el terror asume diversas formas, ataca a muchos y a diario, sin admitir explicación?

The ending is so good it sort of made me forget the whole middle section, while necessary, was sort of a slog.

This is my third read of The Terror. It is the first time all the disparate pieces of narrative evidence arrayed by Machen have hit me full-force. Brilliant depiction of uncertainty, anxiety, panic, and of course "terror" in wartime. It achieves levels of emotional poignancy unsurpassed in Machen's longer works.

not my fav but there's something here, the atmosphere is great and there's a chapter towards the end that's really scary. I think the final chapter could have been shorter.
