Notice Based On Books Devil Take the Blue-tail Fly

Probably JFB's best as it doesn't have a silly Scooby Doo ending. This is stylish, dark, compelling psychological noir.

Strange this wasn't filmed with Gene Tierney or Susan Hayward in the lead, Vincent Price as the husband, Robert Mitchum as Jim and Herbert Marshall as the shrink.

The woman is mad and to make matters worse, shock treatment takes the only thing that matters to her. She belongs in a locked ward for the criminally insane, life sentence.

I loved the choice of words on the descriptions of Ellen's mind; but things became most predictable at the middle of the story. Still worth the reading!

En los márgenes más ignotos y extravagantes del género del terror, pululan autores cuyo inmerecido anonimato y falta de difusión hacen de su descubrimiento todo un goce solitario.

No sé ni cómo empezar la reseña. Me ha gustado cómo el autor entremezclaba la realidad con el mundo interior de la protagonista. Ni siquiera me daba cuenta de en qué momento habíamos abandonado la realidad.A pesar de esto, hay fragmentos que se hacen lentos, los personajes no me gustaban (excepto la antigua profesora de Ellen) y le faltó emoción. Lo recomendaría? Sí. Depende de lo que estés buscando. Desde luego, no si eres de esos que quiere una historia trepidante que no te dé un respiro. Pero

Uma surpresa, suspense "psiquiátrico", estrutura narrativa moderna, desenvolta e com final forte e intenso. Ellen (Nelle) é um personagem que irá inquietar a memória de todos os leitores. Bem escrito e muito perturbador.
