Book excerpt: This novella opens with my astonishing account of the origins of the Byblos Foretold phenomenon, and then resumes where the first novella left off, in June of 1903. As Lord Timothy Dexter’s entourage of faux aristocrats makes its way to Byblos, the small upstate New York city he calls home, we are introduced to a new set of characters. There’s Greta, the erstwhile Greenpoint jute-winder and casual prostitute; Jack, a knockabout street urchin with a keen grasp of market economics; Pat and Danny Lyons, identical twin swindlers who together make for a useful literary device; Corporal Trim, a veteran of the gruesome Long Island campaign who’s willing to tell the tale—and then some; Jane Jebril, a parlor house madam possessing all the requisite traits; Tillie, Lord Dexter’s affection-deprived wife, who for now manages to keep a lid on her libido; their accommodating daughter Felicia, who isn’t similarly inclined; and last, Felicia’s fiancé, the inconveniently married Arthur Biddle, whose arrogance and outsized self-regard rival those of his wife. Now that they’re assembled, take a hogshead of deceit and add a jigger each of rum, love philtre, and whichever bodily fluid suits your mood. Mix thoroughly and serve.

Book excerpt: Novella #1, May of 1903. In the dank attic room of a squalid inn on the north coast of France, a young and penniless American woman, only recently recovered from a difficult birth, yearns for home. May God help those who stand in her way…. Though her circumstances are such that they might elicit pity, Mrs. Biddle neither needs nor wants our sympathy. Nor, after even the briefest acquaintance, are you likely to afford her any. Her yearning for home derives not from a love of friends or family, but rather a compulsion to settle a score. Haughty, arrogant, deceitful, cunning, faithless—these are the words best able to describe her. One moment she’s posing as the ruler of an underwater duchy in aid of a con game, the next she’s betraying a confederate. With never the slightest feeling of remorse.

Book excerpt: What sort of woman is Mrs. Biddle? In May of 1903, we find the young mother hungry and destitute, stranded in a squalid inn on the north coast of France. Six days later, she’s booked into New York’s Plaza Hotel with two thousand dollars in her purse…. A charitable person might use the word resourceful to describe her. But those encountering her are rarely left feeling particularly charitable. As ruthless as the day is long, this faux duchess of a drowned duchy brooks neither fools nor opposition. Those who stand in her way are crushed utterly, and those who cross her—well, who better to judge than her own husband? We may well ask ourselves, as Biddle did then, was she really so vindictive she’d travel 3,000 miles to the sort of jay town she despised with no purpose other than to inflict pain and misery on one she felt had wronged her? Oh, yes, was his answer—10,000 miles… on hands and knees… and still arrive glad about making the trip.

Download or read book Posing in Paradise written by Robert Bruce Stewart and published by Street Car Mysteries. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1905, the great Henry James arrives in Northampton, Massachusetts, to deliver a lecture to the local literati. He is feted in a grand style—and so is the Englishman impersonating him. In the meantime, a vacationing Harry Reese has stumbled upon a body marinating in an abandoned canal bed. But rather than report the corpse, Harry decides to use it to distract his wife Emmie from her own literary ambitions. Then the body vanishes. Twice. These two plots, each sufficiently ludicrous in its own right, coalesce to produce a truly remarkable story, one that dares to answer the age-old question: is it possible for a man to drown in his blancmange?

Download or read book Dames Engaged written by M.E. Meegs and published by Lycophos Press. This book was released on 2016-02-07 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As she nears the moment of decision, new trials arise for Mrs. Biddle. The wily, if dimwitted, Felicia has somehow conceived plans of her own, while Tomasz, Mrs. Biddle’s former devotee, now conspires against her. Worse still, her more-often-than-not steadfast servant Mélisande allows herself to be distracted by a sweet-talking flank attack. How, you ask, will Mrs. Biddle combat these challenges? Why, with the usual combination of deceit, psychological handling, and thinly veiled extortion, of course. She may be a self-serving schemer, and have the ethics of a Borgia, but no one can accuse her of not being consistent.

Book excerpt: This volume considers the phenomenon of mimetic contagion, whereby works of art draw viewers into direct imitation of themselves, and how it operates within specific historical contexts. Terence's Eunuch is used as a case study, situating the motif within the peculiarities of mid-second-century BC Rome and its anxieties about the power of art.
