This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blackwood's tales of the uncanny within in a seventh Leonaur volume Algernon Henry Blackwood was one of the most prolific authors of supernatural and horror fiction in the history of the genre. In fact, his output was so great and rapidly produced that it is possible his entire canon remains unknown. Born in Shooter's Hill (which now part of south-east London) in 1869, his father was a civil servant and his mother was the widow of the 6th Duke of Manchester. As an adventurous young Englishman, Blackwood travelled to Canada and the USA where he worked at a number of jobs including as a journalist for the New York Times. At the turn of the 20th century Blackwood returned to Britain and embarked upon his career as a writer of supernatural and horror stories. His output was astonishing, resulting in at least ten collections of short stories together with 14 novels and plays. He regularly broadcast his work on radio and later on television. His two best known stories are probably, 'The Willows' and 'The Wendigo'. Blackwood died from a stroke in 1951. The Leonaur collection of Blackwood's strange fiction seeks to gather together the majority of his known shorter supernatural fiction into a comprehensive set. Among the contents of volume seven of this comprehensive Leonaur collection of Blackwood's shorter fiction, the reader will discover, 'The Man Whom the Trees Loved', 'The Regeneration of Lord Ernie', 'The Wendigo' 'The Man from the Gods' and 'The Damned'

Book excerpt: The complete supernatural fiction of a Victorian scholar The second half of the nineteenth century was a golden age for supernatural fiction and such is the proliferation of ghost stories written in that period that it seems as if everyone who could write tried their hand at the genre. Among academics, the master of the literary ghost story. M. R. James is a notable example as are his friend E. G. Swain and several others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume One of the War with Turkey during the Great War This two-volume history, never before published in its own right, was written by the famous John Buchan, author of The 39 Steps, Greenmantle and others, and was originally included in a multi-volume work which covered the entire First World War. While the text appears unchanged the large number of excellent campaign maps have been significantly enlarged and numerous photographs and illustrations which were not included in the multi-volume edition have been added. Structured chronologically, the first volume principally covers the war in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), as the allies fought their way towards Baghdad, together with the ill-fated expedition to invade the Dardanelles and strike towards the heart of the Ottoman empire in Turkey itself. The second volume chronicles a mobile fast-moving war in stark contrast to the stalemate of the Western Front. This Leonaur exclusive book is a fascinating account of the last war of its kind recounted by an erudite author. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
