Book excerpt: In his striking debut collection, Greener Pastures, Michael Wehunt shows why he is a powerful new voice in horror and weird fiction.

Download or read book The Annotated She written by Henry Rider Haggard and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1991-08-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it appeared in 1887, H. Rider Haggard's She caused a sensation and became one of the best-selling novels of the nineteenth century. The idea of a powerful woman endowed with immortal beauty and penetrating intellect ruling a savage people among the ruins of a vanished civilization in the heart of Africa captivated Victorian readers. Freud recommended the book to his patients. Jung equated its imaginative power with Dante's Inferno and Wagner's Ring. Continuing to fascinate later twentieth-century readers, the book has never been out of print and has won new audiences through numerous film versions. This is the first annotated edition of She. Locating the novel within the context of late-Victorian fiction and British imperialism, Norman Etherington provides biographical information regarding Haggard and elucidates references in the text of this archaeological romance.

Download or read book Don t Go to Sleep in the Dark written by Celia Fremlin and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Here are thirteen harrowing tales by the indisputable mistress of horror,” the Edgar Award–winning author of The Hours Before Dawn (Chattanooga Times Free Press). Sometimes the things that go bump in the night are our own thoughts coming out to play. Celia Fremlin, an expert on portraying the inner turmoil of everyday people, captures both the psychological and the supernatural in thirteen horror stories, her first collection of short fiction. Playing “The Quiet Game” with her boisterous twins drives one young mother to seek refuge in their favorite place—even if it is a land of make-believe. When her dying former lover makes his last request, it’s one demand too many for the woman he kept under his thumb in “The Betrayal.” Jealous of her husband’s young love, a middle-aged woman tries to remain “For Ever Fair,” until she sees the living proof of a doctor who can turn back the clock. A date night for a busy couple transforms into a living nightmare when they leave their daughter in the care of “The Baby-Sitter.” And after a rage-filled stranger comes to call, a teenage girl finally bonds with her obsessively tidy mother in “The Hated House.” Tales of twisted paranoia, passion, and despair reside in this “outstanding collection . . . all are well-written and all are possible and none should be read when alone in a dark house” (Savannah Morning News). Praise for Celia Fremlin “Few people can chill the blood like Celia Fremlin.” —The Daily Telegraph “Fremlin is here to stay as a major mistress of insight and suspense.” —The New York Times “Britain’s Patricia Highsmith.” —The Sunday Times
