Amidst the haunting tales of Bowman Findhaven Myth, a chilling scream echoes through the misty lands of Scotland. In Charles Reade's "The Cloister and The Hearth," an enraged figure lets out a shriek, adding to the terror of the gothic narrative. Ulysses, in this engraving, is terrefied by the ghosts of the dead, his eyes wide with fear as a piercing shriek pierces the night. The Soplones plate from Goya's "Los Caprichos" depicts a figure letting out a shriek of madness, while Eagle Joe's engraving captures the raw emotion of a man's anguished cry. In the meadow, a color litho illustrates a piercing shriek that sends animals scattering in terror. The tents of Shem, as depicted in this engraving, are home to unimaginable horrors, and the laughing owl, with its haunting gaze, lets out a shriek that chills to the bone.
