Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Blackwood, Vol. 1: New Series I have tried both Worlds, Old and New; and so far as faults and follies go, I don't think there is much to choose between them. My present busi ness is with the faults and follies of my own coun try, with which I feel more especially competent to deal, and which I am most desirous to see corrected and reformed. Having violently reacted from them myself, it is only natural that I should be consumed by the fervour of proselytism, and should, regardless of consequences, exhibit myself as a warning, if need be, to those I wish to serve. When I first appeared upon the social horizon, I may say with out vanity that I was the kind of girl who in Lon don would have been called a stunner, a scream er, and who in New York is sometimes described as a bouncer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Blackwood, Vol. 1 of 12 In Natolia, Hamet ben Hamet was a proverb for happiness. The pilgrims passing from Constanti nople to Damascus used to stop at the foot of the mountain on which his palace stood, bright as a new-born star, and wonder at the good fortune which had fixed a son of earth in a spot so like Paradise. The people of the country, to a man, declared that smce the prosperous days of the wisest of the wise, even Solomon ben David, there had not been prince, pasha, or padisha, who could compare with the fortune of the mighty Hadgi. They even went so far as to assert, that though he had four wives, he kept his household without an open quarrel; that his two daughters had never fled with Spahi or J anizary, and that his son had never expressed any known objection to his father's living even a dozen years longer. Still the illustrious Hadgi was discontented, What is human happi ness, he exclaimed, but like the bubble in the cup of sherbet, no sooner seen than swallowed, and no sooner swallowed than forgotten? Or like the singing of the bullet from the musket, a perilous pleasure'which a wise man would let pass by him, and none but a fool would desire to catch? The earth is a dungeon, from which the sooner a man gets free the better. Life is a struggle in a stormy sea; every man first tries to sink his neighbour.

My original intention had been to pass a couple of days there, on my way to Munich that being, I thought, as much time as could reasonably be spared for so small a city, beckoned as my foot steps were to the Bavarian Athens, of whose glories of ancient art and German Renaissance I had formed expectations the most exaggerated - expectations fatal to any perfect enjoyment, and certain to be disap pointed, however great the actual merit of Munich might be. But after two days at Nuremberg, I was so deeply interested in its antique sequestered life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: A horrific crime that defies explanation, a rookie FBI agent in uncharted territory, and an extraordinary hero for the ages: an investigation spirals out of control in this heart-pounding thriller. Odessa Hardwicke's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, a decorated FBI agent who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. The shooting, justified by self-defense, shakes the young FBI agent to her core. Devastated, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what most troubles Odessa isn't the tragedy itself -- it's the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent's body after his death. Questioning her future with the FBI and her sanity, Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent in the New York office. What she finds there will put her on the trail of a mysterious figure named Hugo Blackwood, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic, or humanity's best and only defense against unspeakable evil. From the authors who brought you The Strain Trilogy comes a strange, terrifying, and darkly wondrous world of suspense, mystery, and literary horror. The Hollow Ones is a chilling, spell-binding tale, a hauntingly original new fable from Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and bestselling author Chuck Hogan featuring their most fascinating character yet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Magazine, Vol. 194: July-December, 1913 No light was in the glen except from the house he quitted, where some windows, looked back on from a little distance when he reached the garden foot, appeared as yellow squares stuck high up on the arch of night. One of them he knew to be the window of Drimdorran's closet, none of them was Margaret's. He felt that the best thing he could do would be to walk into the town and wait for an explana tion of the truancy until the morrow's morning, but at three-and-twenty years of age it is always something else than the best in policy that commands our acts, and zeneas, with one hand feel ing at his chin and the other at times thrust out before him till he had come to his second eyes, passed through the fringe of shrubbery about the garden limits, and out across the fields to the river-side. By the time he reached it he had got a little of the howlet's vision, and the dovecote and its scraggy thicket were to be perceived as bodies massive, blacker than the night.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Magazine, Vol. 193: January-June 1913 There was general merriment at this, for Mr Carmyle was patriarchal, both in appearance and habits. But it did nothing to soothe the nerves of The Freak himself, who happened at the moment to be standing shyly upon one leg outside the door, endeavouring to summon up sufficient courage to walk in. He was a small sandy-haired boy with shrewd blue eyes and a most disarming smile, and he belonged to a not uncommon and distinctly unlucky class. There are boys who are shy and who look shy. Such are usually left to themselves, and gradually attain to confidence. There are boys who are bumpti ous and behave bumptiously. Such are usually put through a brief disciplinary course by their friends, and ultimately achieve respectability. And there are boys who are shy, but who, through sheer self consciousness and a desire to conceal their shyness, behave bumptiously. The way of such is hard. Public school discip linary methods do not discrim inate between the sheep and the goats. Variations from the normal, whether voluntary or involuntary, are all corrected by the same methods. Un conventionality of every kind is rebuked by stern moralists who have been through the mill themselves, and are con vinced that it would be ungenerous to deprive the succeeding generation of the benefits which have produced such brilliant results in their own case.
