Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We love ghost stories here at Wildside Press—witness the fact that we have now now reached our eighth volume in this series. Very few other genres are so versatile and enduring as tales of the supernatural. Ghosts can (and have) appeared in literature for thousands of years, in all countries and continents (and times past, present, and future) throughout the world. But the Victorian era particularly seemed to embrace ghost stories, and that’s when Christmas ghost tales became not just a staple of literature, but a requirement. Seemingly all British fiction magazines (and many newspapers) had to publish at least one ghostly tale in the month of December. Proving that the ghost story tradition is strong to the present day, we have an original story from Phyllis Ann Karr (author of the Frostflower and Thorn series), plus two drawn from Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (which strayed a little more into the fantastic and horrific in the 1960s that it does today), plus another modern story by Wallace West, who is best known as a science fiction writer. Good stuff. Here is the complete lineup: UNSEEN—UNFEARED, by Francis Stevens RUNNING WOLF, by Algernon Blackwood UNCLE CHRISTIAN’S INHERITANCE, by Erckmann-Chatrian MOMMY, by Mary Elizabeth Counselman A GHOST’S REVENGE, by Tighe Hopkins THE HAUNTED HOUSE, by George MacDonald THE THING IN THE UPPER ROOM, by Arthur Morrison DIE, GEORGE!, by Stephen Wasylyk HEINRICH, by Wallace West RESURGAM, by Rina Ramsay THE SPECTRE OF TAPPINGTON, by Thomas Ingoldsby THE INEXPERIENCED GHOST, by H.

Download or read book Lady Audley s Secret written by Mary Elizabeth Braddon and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Audley's Secret is a sensation novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon published in 1862. It was Braddon's most successful and well-known work. The novel has been described as "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels". The plot centres on "accidental bigamy" which was in literary fashion in the early 1860s. Braddon's bigamous heroine deserts her child, pushes husband number one down a well, thinks about poisoning husband number two and sets fire to a hotel in which her other male acquaintances are residing. Elements of the novel mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent murder case of June 1860, which gripped the nation for years. When it was published in book format it allowed Braddon to become financially independent for the rest of her life and still enjoys widespread success and recognition as a true classic today.
