Sobre l'autor
Ethile Lina White (1876–1944) was a distinguished British author known for her contributions to the mystery and thriller genres. White's foray into writing followed her education at Llandovery and her work as a civil servant, which allowed her the financial stability to pursue her literary ambitions. She blossomed as a storyteller in the 1930s, with her psychological edge providing a new flavor to the sensation of suspense literature. One of her notable works, 'Wax' (1935), showcases her literary prowess, where the unnerving ambiance of a waxworks museum serves as a backdrop for a gripping narrative. White adeptly intertwines fear with the mundane, crafting a tale that engages readers with its palpable tension and underlying social commentary. Her literary style is characterized by a nuanced approach to terror, often building suspense through suggestion and the psychological states of her characters, rather than overt horror. This approach garnered her significant acclaim, influencing the thriller genre and inspiring cinema adaptations, like Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Lady Vanishes' based on her novel 'The Wheel Spins'. Despite her death in the mid-20th century, White's work continues to be celebrated for its enduring ability to thrill and unsettle, cementing her legacy in the annals of classic crime writing.
