Download or read book Fireside Horror Stories About Supernatural Cats written by Edgar Allen Poe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's just something about cats. We own them, viralize them, buy sweaters and calendars and mugs with them on it. They are points of fascination and obsession. Even though the 21st century has rejected the superstitions of previous centuries, returning cats to the godhood of Ancient Egypt, we still recognize their power to suggest the dark side of nature. Outside cats leave their human's property at dusk and venture out into the darkness, returning in the morning with the corpses of birds and rodents. They step out of the comfort zones of most humans, plumb the hours of night when humans feel most alone and vulnerable, and they own that space. Cats have featured heavily in horror fiction since the Middle Ages, and have inspired masters of the genre from Poe and Stoker to Lovecraft and Bierce, from Le Fanu and Chambers to Blackwood and Saki. Cats' role in supernatural fiction, horror, and folklore is likely due to their perceived liminality: they seem to be able to access an alternate plane of experience that is just outside of humans' comfort zone. They venture into the murky, liminal spaces of life - the spaces where we are afraid to go alone, too big to fit, too high to climb, and to dark to see. Can a more fitting metaphor for the afterlife - for magic, for the spiritual, for the unknown - possibly be concocted? The stories contained in this book are among the most famous felines in literature. We will explore this side of the cat as well as its darker connotations. There are stories of ghost cats, battered felines getting gruesome revenge, speaking animals, messengers from the afterlife, feline royalty, shape-shifting were-cats, and much more. It's the purrrfect companion for a dark and windy night.

Download or read book Fireside Horror Stories About Werewolves written by Bram Stoker and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROWLING, predatory, ravenous, merciless, cunning, brutal viscous, savage, beastly. These words have been used to describe human beings nearly as frequently as they are used to describe the most violent carnivores that scour our wildernesses. Perhaps it only makes sense that at one point in human history, the metaphor was used far more literally: a man who went on a rampage, killing his parents and his wife and fleeing to the lawless protection of the forest was surely more monster than man. Surely, he had received a sort of summons from his vestigial animalistic nature - a summons that had overwhelmed the nobler, restrained instincts of humanity. Perhaps he was a werewolf. This book contains a variety of werewolves and shapeshifters. Not all are wolves, per se: some are panthers, some cats, some are simply beastly. Some of these stories are subtle, mystical, or poetic. Some are powerful, gothic, and indulgent. There are tales of campers disappearing into the woods, of women stopped on the forest road by wolf man, of degenerate family curses, of cannibalistic women, of men who lure children into the woods before both disappear forever, of were-cats and were-panthers, of men trapped in their wolf form by unfaithful wives, and wives killed in their animal form by unsuspecting husbands. They are tales of desire and hunger, power and violence, transformation and degeneration. They are tales of men. They are tales of wolves. And they are tales of the dark and shadowy territory that binds the two.

The practical advice of the book.The book starts here.Seven days ago I was in the backyard of my house with my youngest son.While the child was playing my neighbor's cat appeared and climbed on the wall that divides both houses.The boy is afraid of the cat, so the boy was running to me when he saw the cat.The boy sits on my legs and tells me- Daddy, look at a cat.I say yes, that is my neighbor's cat.Then I look at the cat and call it what cats are called, in my language it is said:- Misu. Misu.When I called him the cat he answered me how the cats respond, in my language they say:- Miau. Miau.All right. The fact is that I tried to make fun of the cat and I also responded saying:- Miau. Miauuu.When the cat saw that I was making fun of him, he stared at me, then turned his face in an indifferent way and said:- Devil. It is true that you are a son of your damned mother.

Download or read book Echoing Ghost Stories written by Harriet Beecher Stowe and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, ghost stories were part of an oral tradition, often involving a storyteller reciting the spooky tale before a fire on a chilly winter night. During the 1800s, as magazine production and literacy became more widespread, reading ghost stories rose in popularity. However, many authors attempted to preserve on paper the experience of listening to an account of the supernatural. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary E. Wilkins, E. Nesbit, Ambrose Bierce, Edith Wharton, M.R. James, and many others put their creative stamps on this distinctive tradition. Echoing Ghost Stories: Literary Reflections of Oral Tradition showcases such tales, establishing their fascinating place within the wider genre of the Victorian ghost story.
