This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Liddell had always known she was different. Discovering her own unique ability to travel between realms by accidentally finding herself in Wonderland as a child sealed that idea firmly as fact. She never doubted the supernatural world surrounding her and her family, especially considering the fact that her best friend since childhood, Dyna, was a shape-shifting cat. She couldn’t deny it even if she tried. Now as a young woman, Alice’s ability has grown stronger, and her sisters, Ina and Edith have manifested their own unique abilities as well; Ina’s ability to concoct herbal solutions for their benefit, and Edith’s uncannily correct premonitions of the future. The sister’s only confidant entrusted with their secrets is the one person who could ever truly believe them-- Prince Leopold, The Duke of Albany, son of Queen Victoria. While at Oxford, the Prince forged a strong bond with the Liddell family; and what had started out as a mild fascination with Alice had quickly grown into something more than just mere friendship, and despite his mother’s objections, he couldn’t deny his undying love for Alice Liddell. But as luck would have it, the only thing stopping him from declaring his love to Alice just happens to be himself. His secret. The darkness surrounding him. And— the Queen, herself. After discovering the Liddell sister’s unique abilities, His mother, Queen Victoria, has her own plans for the girls involving the protection of the British Empire from the supernatural evils plaguing London. Leopold is dead set against his mother’s plan, and will stop at nothing to keep Alice and her sisters from harm—even if it means revealing his own diseased darkness to the only woman who could ever shatter his untamed heart. witch cozy mystery animals cats crafts hobbies vampire Werewolf psychic sword sorcery ghost historical Victorian regency London Queen Victoria magic urban fantasy epic teen young adult fairy tale demons dragons fae wonderland Alice teen romance paranormal short stories series metaphysical paranormal shifter shapeshifter Werewolf, demons dragons fae fantasy fairy tales contemporary suspense thriller female protagonist romance cowboy Christmas vacation coming of age love women’s fiction career marriage friendship dating relationships singlehood urban fantasy witch cozy mystery paranormal romance short stories series serial free menage bear alpha wolf curves BBW shifter shapeshifter paranormal dragon panther lion tiger romance, new adult, vampire, psychic, witch, humor

Book excerpt: The late 1950s and early 1960s were the golden years of horror television. Anthology series such as Way Out and Great Ghost Tales, along with certain episodes of Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, were among the shows that consistently frightened a generation of television viewers. And perhaps the best of them all was Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff. In Thriller the horror was gothic, with a darker, bleaker vision of life than its contemporaries. The show's origins and troubled history is first discussed here, followed by biographies of such key figures as producer William Frye, executive producer Hubbell Robinson, writers Robert Bloch and Donald S. Sanford, and Karloff. The episode guide covers all 67 installments, providing airdate, production credits, cast, plot synopses and critical evaluations.

Download or read book The Husband Poisoner written by Tanya Bretherton and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Shortlisted for the 2021 Ned Kelly Award for True Crime** Shocking real-life stories of murderous women who used rat poison to rid themselves of husbands and other inconvenient family members. For readers of compelling history and true crime, from critically acclaimed, award-winning author Tanya Bretherton. After World War II, Sydney experienced a crime wave that was chillingly calculated. Discontent mixed with despair, greed with callous disregard. Women who had lost their wartime freedoms headed back into the kitchen with sinister intent and the household poison thallium, normally used to kill rats, was repurposed to kill husbands and other inconvenient family members. Yvonne Fletcher disposed of two husbands. Caroline Grills cheerfully poisoned her stepmother, a family friend, her brother and his wife. Unlike arsenic or cyanide, thallium is colourless, odourless and tasteless; victims were misdiagnosed as insane malingerers or ill due to other reasons. And once one death was attributed to natural causes, it was all too easy for an aggrieved woman to kill again. This is the story of a series of murders that struck at the very heart of domestic life. It's the tale of women who looked for deadly solutions to what they saw as impossible situations. The Husband Poisoner documents the reasons behind the choices these women made - and their terrible outcomes.

Download or read book American West written by Loren D. Estleman and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once, there was a world where the heroes were defined by their white clothing and the bad guys always wore black. The town sheriff always gunned down the wild gunslinger while the lady in distress cowered. The Indian was to be feared, not understood, and the white man always saved the day. This was the traditional Western. But times change, as did the Western. The evolving Western is told from the point of view of blacks, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Gentiles, Mormons, Catholics, women, and men. It is about America; it is about life. Whether a story's central element is a hangman or a midwife, a piano or a cowboy who hates tomatoes, you may be certain of one thing, if the tale reflects an expanding continent, it reflects the American West. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Junction A Short Story Collection written by Deborah Morgan and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his introduction to the book, bestselling author Loren D. Estleman says "It's hard work being Deborah Morgan." A multiple award-winning author in both the mystery and western arenas, Morgan has collected here in JUNCTION a selection of stories guaranteed to show you why. Join her at the crossroad and choose which of her versatile characters you’ll visit first, from FBI agent turned antiques picker Jeff Talbot (from the bestselling Antique Lovers Mysteries) to Detroit’s hard-boiled P.I. Mary Shelley and to the motley and indomitable cast found in her tales of the old—and changing—west. Entries in this collection include two never-before-published stories: fittingly, one is western, the other is mystery. “Tinsel Town” offers a glimpse of the Hollywood frontier, courtesy of Tully and Wall—two bona fide cowboys looking to lasso an easier life. “Campaign for a Corpse” plops Jeff Talbot into the middle of a glamper (glamorous camper) event at a campground where someone’s been murdered. Through this collection, you’ll walk Motown’s mean streets and ride the vast and often brutal frontier; you’ll get an inside look at Jeff Talbot’s killer antiques world, as well as towns struggling for survival—whether they be contemporary Detroit or beyond the lawless threshold of the nineteenth-century west. Award-winning author Loren D. Estleman says in his introduction to JUNCTION: “There are no low points between these covers. Working fields as tried-and-true as the western and the mystery, [Morgan] manages to reinvent the genres with freshness, wit, and a way with a phrase that makes one think of a master cabinetmaker hand-rubbing raw mahogany to a high gloss. Call it talent, genius, or magic; what follows is all those things and the bucket of sweat we call professionalism.”

Download or read book I Spit On Your Celluloid written by Heidi Honeycutt and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slumber Party Massacre. Pet Sematary. Near Dark. American Psycho... These horror movies have heavily contributed to pop culture and are loved by horror fans everywhere. But so many others have been forgotten by history. From the first silent reels to modern independent films, in this book you’ll discover the creepy, horrible, grotesque, beautiful, wrong, good, and fantastic — and the one thing they share in common. This is the true history of women directing horror movies. Having conducted hundreds of interviews and watched thousands of horror films, Heidi Honeycutt defines the political and cultural forces that shape the way modern horror movies are made by women. The women’s rights and civil rights movements, new distribution technology, digital cameras, the destruction of the classic studio system, and the abandonment of the Hays code have significantly impacted women directors and their movies. So, too, social media, modern ideas of gender and racial equality, LGBTQ acceptance, and a new generation of provocative, daring films that take shocking risks in the genre. Includes short films, anthologies, documentaries, animated horror, horror pornography, pink films, and experimental horror. I Spit on Your Celluloid is a first-of-its-kind celebration, study, and “a book that needed to be written” (says cult filmmaker Stephanie Rothman). You will never look at horror movies the same way again!
