Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil’s Chair stood as a haunting monument within the quiet town of Ravenscroft, nestled deep in the heart of an ancient forest. Stories of its origin varied among the townsfolk, but a chilling legend prevailed—a tale whispered in hushed tones around crackling fires and within the walls of the local tavern. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting elongated shadows across the cobblestone streets, the townspeople hurried to shutter their windows and lock their doors. For when darkness draped the land, the whispers of the Devil's Chair echoed louder through the empty alleys and deserted squares. The chair itself was an eerie masterpiece, carved from jet-black obsidian and adorned with intricate, swirling patterns that seemed to writhe and twist when viewed under the moon's pale light. Its arms extended in an unnatural curve, resembling skeletal fingers beckoning the daring and the curious. Generations had passed since anyone dared approach the Devil's Chair. It stood atop a small hill, surrounded by gnarled trees that seemed to bow in reverence or fear, their branches intertwining like skeletal fingers, casting eerie silhouettes against the starless sky. Yet, there were always whispers of those brave—or foolish—enough to seek it out. Among them was Sarah, a young woman whose curiosity often led her into the clutches of the unknown.

Book excerpt: From the Back: "Four bodies in under a month and no sign of foul play - what the hell's going on in Devil's Chair?" In the past two months, Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim O'Brian along with FBI Profilers Special Agent Steve Hoffman and John Swenson have been called out to Devil's Chair in the Los Angeles County Mountains where multiple bodies were found in the remote location. There are no signs of foul play, all of the victims were nude and uninjured, with the exception of post-mortem trauma caused by wild animals, and all victims died due to "exposure" - but none of these men believe this is the whole story. O'Brian, Hoffman, and Swenson need to find out why young, healthy adults are winding up dead in the hills of Devil's Chair and Devil's Punchbowl, and the answer is one that no one could have foreseen. From the Inside Flap: Rollins Industries is one of the nation's largest distributors of organic food products, but Adam Osborn, a highly successful sales manager and the head of their sales department, has disappeared. Amelia Farrell, the head of human resources and Osborn's love interest, has just terminated Gaston Reed, a senior salesman with a less than stable personality, after he made threats against Osborn and others in the company. What begins as a routine missing persons report quickly turns into anything but as LA County Sheriff Jim O'Brian and FBI Special Agents John Swenson and Steve Hoffman are drawn into the investigation when the Osborn investigation reveals that he was brutally murdered. Reed tops everyone's list as the prime suspect; however, a deeper mystery begins to unfold as bodies pile up, and an unseen force is suspected of pulling the strings. Just when the men think they are closing in on the killer, a stunning development sends them careening into an unforgiving world of cruelty and torture - a world so depraved that only the Iron Eagle dare tread.

Thirty-five years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day turned the tide of World War II against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Reich, and it’s been more than three decades since the residents of the tiny French village of Le Vey witnessed the horrific slaughter of hundreds of German soldiers by thirteen black tanks. One of the tanks remains on the outskirts of town—its hatch mysteriously sealed, trapping its controller inside—only to be discovered by American surveyor and cartographer Dan McCook. Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable compulsion, McCook is about to do the unthinkable and release what lives within the tank upon an unsuspecting world. And once the monstrous occupant reunites with others of its demonic kind, a new world war will begin, one that threatens to wash the earth in blood and drag every man, woman, and child through the fiery gates of hell. A chilling and ingeniously original tale of demonic possession and apocalyptic possibilities, The Devils of D-Day is classic horror at its best, from the award-winning author of The Manitou.

Download or read book The Devil s Chain written by Keely Stauter-Halsted and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the half-century before Poland’s long-awaited political independence in 1918, anxiety surrounding the country’s burgeoning sex industry fueled nearly constant public debate. The Devil’s Chain is the first book to examine the world of commercial sex throughout the partitioned Polish territories, uncovering a previously hidden conversation about sexuality, gender propriety, and social class. Keely Stauter-Halsted situates the preoccupation with prostitution in the context of Poland’s struggle for political independence and its difficult transition to modernity. She traces the Poles’ growing anxiety about white slavery, venereal disease, and eugenics by examining the regulation of the female body, the rise of medical authority, and the role of social reformers in addressing the problem of paid sex. Stauter-Halsted argues that the sale of sex was positioned at the juncture of mass and elite cultures, affecting nearly every aspect of urban life and bringing together sharply divergent social classes in what had long been a radically stratified society. She captures the experiences of the impoverished women who turned to the streets and draws a vivid picture of the social milieu that shaped their choices. The Devil’s Chain demonstrates that discussions of prostitution and its attendant disorders—sexual deviancy, alcoholism, child abuse, vagrancy, and other related problems—reflected differing visions for the future of the Polish nation.
