Book excerpt: Rosie Strange is back in the latest of the fabulously creepy Essex Witch Museum Mysteries Secretly Rosie Strange has always thought herself a little bit more interesting than most people – the legacy her family has bequeathed her is definitely so, she’s long believed. But then life takes a peculiar turn when the Strange legacy turns out not just to be the Essex Witch Museum, but perhaps some otherworldly gifts that Rosie finds difficult to fathom. Meanwhile Sam Stone, Rosie’s curator, is oddly distracted as breadcrumb clues into what happened to his missing younger brother and other abducted boys from the past are poised to lead him and Rosie deep into a dark wood where there lurks something far scarier than Hansel and Gretel’s witch… Praise for the Essex Witch Museum Mysteries: ‘I gleefully submitted to a tale of witchcraft, feminism, mysterious strangers, historical atrocities, plucky heroines and ghastly apparitions – and came away more proud than ever to be an Essex girl.’ Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent ‘Confident, down-to-earth Essex girl Rosie is an appealing character, and there is plenty of spooky fun in this spirited genre mashup.’ Guardian

Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. As journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits". In addition to creating elderly spinster and young female sleuths, Green's innovative plot devices included dead bodies in libraries, newspaper clippings as "clews", the coroner's inquest, and expert witnesses.

Book excerpt: Rosie Strange doesn't believe in ghosts or witches or magic. No, not at all. It’s no surprise therefore when she inherits the ramshackle Essex Witch Museum, her first thought is to take the money and run. Still, the museum exerts a curious pull over Rosie. There’s the eccentric academic who bustles in to demand she help in a hunt for old bones, those of the notorious Ursula Cadence, a witch long since put to death. And there’s curator Sam Stone, a man about whom Rosie can’t decide if he’s tiresomely annoying or extremely captivating. It all adds up to looking like her plans to sell the museum might need to be delayed, just for a while. Finding herself and Sam embroiled in a most peculiar centuries-old mystery, Rosie is quickly expelled from her comfort zone, where to her horror, the secrets of the past come with their own real, and all too present, danger as a strange magic threatens to envelope them all.

Download or read book The Strange Case of Rabin Jynuri written by G.A. Barker and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-26 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strange Case of Rabin Jynuri is a journey into the terra incognita of the mind. Rabin was an involuntary guest of a state mental hospital. A therapist, determined to get at the source of Mr. Jynuri's quixotic and delusional mind, was convinced he had stumbled across a rare case of "Megalomaniacal Munchausen's Disease." Rabin would prove to be the case of a lifetime for the heroic Dr. D.W. Dedicated to meet the challenge he constructed a case file, which was intended to support his thesis "Psychophysiosophy and the treatment of integrated neurological and psychiatric disorders." Beginning in the summer of 1967, and continuing up to the time of his murder in the winter of 1968, Dr. D.W. worked on a system of mind/body therapy. He was a pioneer in a field of neuroscience, which incorporates various modern biophysical principles alongside ancient practices of holistic healing. Transcripts of colorful tape-recorded sessions evolve into picturesque articulations, which lead our minds into a field of splendor. Within the mind of Rabin, there is a valley of the lord, a golden orchis, a golden family, as well as a whole lot of otherworldly realms of weirdness and wonder. It was not an easy task for the good Doctor, but he persevered, and in the end his work survived to tell its amazing story. Readers are urged to partake in the struggle that ensues over a piece of gold; one tiny piece of gold that resides at the center of a madman's consciousness. It is an epic battle waged between a patient that dedicated his life in search of a sacred flower, and the doctor determined to bring him back to reality. Reality becomes obscured as a mystery arises from the battlefield, the line drawn between religion and science dissolves. The doctor finds himself blinded, unable to know "which side of black and white the gray was that he was standing in" as you will soon come to see, it is not an easy distinction to make in Rabin's world. It is an exercise in self-discovery, of finding your way in the dark, of coming to know what it is that eclipses the mind, and troubles the soul.
