เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Wilhelm Hauff (1802–1827) was a German poet and novelist known for his vivid fairy tales and satirical narratives. Born in Stuttgart, Hauff entered the literary scene at a young age, and despite a brief career that spanned just over half a decade, he made a lasting impact on German storytelling. His contribution to the canon of gothic literature and dark romanticism is notable, largely owing to his ability to intertwine the mundane with the fantastical, often imbuing his tales with an undercurrent of the macabre. His collection ‘Something Wicked: 560+ Horror Classics, Macabre Tales & Supernatural Mysteries’ stands as a testament to his literary prowess, encompassing a broad spectrum of his short stories and novellas that explore the darker contours of the human psyche and supernatural occurrences. Although Hauff’s life was cut short when he died at the age of 25, his literary style, rooted in the romantic spirit with a proclivity for eerie settings and moralistic themes, has endured. His works have continued to be read and celebrated for their imaginative power and narrative complexity, securing his place in the corpus of German literature.
