Book excerpt: This is the final Chapter in the Dr Syn series. It tells the tale of the good people of England's Romney Marsh, battling to deceive the local revenue men of duty for contraband goods from France. The men of Romney Marsh are led by the villan the Scarecrow who is non other than the good Dr Syn Parson of Dymchurch-under-the wall, so named as the sea is 9 feet above the sea wall. At night the frail Parson Dr Syn becomes the vicious Scarecrow, stopping at nothing to get the cotraband through, crossing the moorland and dikes, riding his huge black horse Gehenna painted with luminous paint, to add to the 'folklore' of the mystery of the Scarecrow. Only Mipps his faithful assistant knows the true identity of the Scarecrow. The Excise men finally get a man to match the Scarecrow and Mr Faulks arrives in Dymchurch with an old sailor that Syn multilated in his days on the sea as Captain Clegg (told in Dr Syn on the high seas). Recognition of the old Sailor sends Syn into morbid moods, Mipps knows his master is worried about the visitor from the past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doctor Syn: A Smuggler Tale of the Romney Marsh To Those who have small knowledge of Kent let me say that the fishing village of Dymchurch-under-the-wall lies on the south coast midway between two of the ancient Cinque ports, Romney and Hythe. In the days of George III, with Trafalgar still unfought, our coast watchmen swept with keen glasses this broad bend of the Channel; watched not for smugglers (for there was little in Dymchurch to attract the smuggler, with its flat coastline open all the way from Dover cliffs around Dungeness to Beachy Head), but for the French men-o'-war. In spite of being perilously open to the dangers of the French coast, Dymchurch was a happy little village in those days - aye, and prosperous, too, for the Squire, Sir Antony Cobtree, though in his younger days a wild and reckless adventurer, a gambler and a duellist, had, of late years, resolved himself into a pattern Kentish squire, generous to the village, and so vastly popular.

Book excerpt: Now, said the sexton, "I blows out the candles and you shall see." Jerry opened his eyes as the sexton blew out the lights. "Bring the mirror!" called the sexton to the other room. And then into the coffin shop came the other members of the company, and the mystery of the demon riders was explained, for in the dark room each diabolical face glistened like the moon, and when the cracked mirror had been held up before him he saw that he in his turn burned with the same hellfire. "It's now time, Satan, to get the scarecrow in, and you, Beelzebub, go and paint the horses with what's left in that cauldron."

Book excerpt: A FICTION HOUSE PRESS FACSIMILE REPRINT A STIRRING ADVENTURE TALE OF THE ROMNEY MARSH Russell Thorndyke has evidently let himself go and has had a good old swashbuckling time of it in writing "Dr. Syn," a novel of adventure, the scene of which is laid in Kent in the days of George III. Romney Marsh, the lonely region where much of the action takes place, was continually visited by night riders, fiendish figures dimly seen by the glow from the Jack-o'-lanterns which they carried. In the village lived a person scarcely less mysterious than they--a genial, kindly vicar, who sang quite inappropriate snatches of pirate songs. The refrain which fell oftenest from his lips was the favorite chanty of the redoutable pirate chief, Clegg, hanged, according to rumor, a decade before. The story opens with the arrival on the marsh of a troop of royal soldiers, sent to detect and seize the smugglers who had long operated there. A series of mysterious murders ensue, the suspected criminal being a mulatto sailor who seems to gather a good bit of evidence for the officers despite the fact that his tongue has been cut out and his ears lopped off in previous adventures. The story moves along with a truly boyish gusto, and the final scene, where Dr. Syn, revealed as Clegg the pirate, dies as horrible a death as any of his victims, is sanguinary enough to satisfy a reader of Nick Carter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctor Syn is a quiet, unassuming vicar in the small fishing village of Dymchurch-under-the-wall. He, his sexton Mipps, and the friendly villagers lead a simple life—until a frigate sent by the King lands at their docks, and an officious captain steps down into the village in search of smugglers.
