註釋

In 'They See in Darkness', Ethel Lina White masterfully weaves a tapestry of suspense and mystery, enshrouded within the commonplace facade of Oldtown. The novel's cunning narrative structure and White's use of chilling subtlety speak to her literary style, which finely blends the mundane with the macabre. Through crisp prose and an acute understanding of tension's ebb and flow, White crafts a tale that transcends typical thriller motifs, breathing life into the literary context of early 20th-century crime fiction. As the residents of Oldtown are plagued by a series of disturbing events, readers are confronted with the unsettling idea that evil may lurk in the most familiar of places. Ethel Lina White's literary pedigree is evident in her theorization that it is not just in the tangible darkness that people fail to see, but also in the metaphorical darkness of their neighbors' souls. Drawing from her extensive experience as an acclaimed British author of crime fiction, White's narrative echoes the underlying anxieties of her time—ones that still resonate in the human psyche today. Her insight into societal fears and her ability to capture the essence of suspense make her works, particularly this novel, continually relevant. 'They See in Darkness' comes highly recommended for connoisseurs of classic thrillers and readers drawn to the intimate exploration of the human condition under duress. This novel is not just a journey into the darkness that lies within a small town's borders, but also an excavation of the darkness that can consume the human heart. Through White's skilled narrative, both enlightening and entertaining, one is compelled to confront the abyss and, perhaps, understand what it is to truly see.
