Book The 7th Ghost Story MEGAPACK

Download or read book The 7th Ghost Story MEGAPACK written by Frank Belknap Long and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to The Seventh Ghost Story MEGAPACK®! Once more we have a wide-ranging assortment of supernatural fiction, with setting across the world -- Europe, the Americas, Asia -- and across the centuries. You will note that we have a larger than normal number of "Anonymous" stories. No, the authors weren't embarrassed by their contributions. Victorian-era literary magazines and newspapers often ran fiction without crediting the author, or with only vague terms like "A Lady," initials, or humorous pseudonyms (as with the story by “Q.E.D.” in this volume). Authors later collected their stories in books, and that's when readers discovered who had actually written what. If a story never got reprinted, its author remained a mystery. Modern scholars are still researching these anonymous stories, but many authors will never be properly identified. This time we include: BEAUTIFUL DREAMER, by R.A. Lafferty FROM THE TOMB, by Guy De Maupassant THE VENGEANCE OF A TREE, by Eleanor F. Lewis YOU CAN'T KILL A GHOST, by Frank Belknap Long A FIGHT WITH A GHOST, by Q.E.D.

He wrote extensively for books, radio, television and the stage, and especially the pulp magazines.

The quality of his work was such that Arkham House, Gnome Press, Prime Press, and Doubleday issued collections of his early short stories. At Wildside Press, we were fortunate enough to work with him in his twilight years, and we reprinted his "Lancelog Biggs, Spaceman" collection, as well as a solo work, "That Worlds May Live," and made him the Featured Author of an early issue of Adventure Tales magazine.

Book E  Hoffmann Price s Fables of Ismeddin MEGAPACK

Download or read book E Hoffmann Price s Fables of Ismeddin MEGAPACK written by E. Hoffmann Price and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Hoffman Price (1898-1988) was a prolific pulp writer who got his start writing for Weird Tales and became a peripheral member of the Lovecraft Circle of weird fiction writers. This collection contains every story he published featuring a Kurdish holy man named Ismeddin. Price labels him as a "darvish," an alternate spelling of the Sufi Muslim "dervish," a man who chooses to become a beggar and an ascetic to become closer to God. The term "whirling dervish" comes from the spiraling dances the holy men use to place themselves in a trance state. Of course Price's darvish is half-crazed, a master swordsman, and particularly good at stirring up trouble. However, the stories he appears in are notable for their themes of religious truths, justice and wisdom, and explorations of the nature of reality. Included are INTRODUCTION, by Alexander Kreitner THE DREAMER OF ATLANAAT THE INFIDEL'S DAUGHTER THIRSTY BLADES THE SLAVE OF JUSTICE SHAYKH AHMAD AND THE PIOUS COMPANIONS ISMEDDIN AND THE HOLY CARPET THE FORGOTTEN OF ALLAH ONE ARABIAN NIGHT A JEST AND A VENGEANCE THE SULTAN'S JEST THE STRANGER FROM KURDISTAN APRICOTS FROM ISPAHAN THE HAND OF WRATH THE RAJAH'S GIFT SATAN'S DAUGHTER WELL OF THE ANGELS THE GIRL FROM SAMARCAND EVERY MAN A KING LADY OF THE MOONLIGHT If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!
