Book excerpt: Longtime residents of Harper's Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow's Point Lighthouse. Some say it's cursed. Others claim it's haunted. Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse's construction, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror. In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds. The lighthouse was finally shuttered tight in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since. Until tonight. Thomas Livingston is the acclaimed author of thirteen books about the supernatural and this evening he will enter the Widow's Point Lighthouse, searching for material for his next bestseller. He will be locked inside for the weekend with no way of contacting the outside world. And although no human has stepped foot inside the structure in nearly three decades, Livingston will not be alone.

Book excerpt: It was 1944, and it wouldn't be long before World War II was over, and the Germans would be defeated by the United States and the help of other allies. War is hell, and the haunting memory of the atrocities that went on with innocent people in the concentration camps would go unpunished for many SS Nazi soldiers. But some of that would not be the case when they boarded a train and headed back to their homes to their families. There was laughter, smoking, and plenty of beer to celebrate even though they lost the war. These soldiers were just glad it was over and ready to put this horrid memory behind them all and lead healthy life with their families when they got back home. As for this bloodthirsty cold as ice SS soldiers, this train ride was bound for hell. Somehow ten minutes into the trip, the engineer suffered a massive heart attack and didn't have time to slow the train down to a complete stop. So, the train was running full speed ahead on a course for self-destruction. None of the soldiers had a clue that moments later they would all be dead. The soldiers were too absorbed in the moment of laughter and drunkenness to notice that something went wrong. If the engineer were still alive, he would have slowed the train down. Then quickly made the turn around the curve but since he isn't the train jumped the track, and all the rail cars broke apart, sending all the SS Nazi soldiers to their deaths. When the train never arrived at the train station, the families of the soldiers knew something was wrong and notified the police to investigate immediately.

Book excerpt: My Vietnam War is Dave Morgan's story. A typical 20 year old, he was forced into extraordinary circumstances in Vietnam. Far from his carefree youth, the Vietnam War would expose Dave to an atmosphere of ever-present danger and sheer terror that would impact him forever. His return to a divided Australia would isolate him further. During his service Dave wrote home to his mother from Vietnam tracking the days and the events. In 1992, after his mother passed away, he found all of his letters with his own recollections and diary entries, and the short stories of seven other veterans, to capture the unbelievable danger and horror that these young men experienced in Vietnam. He also describes how Vietnam established life-long feelings of intense loyalty, trust and mateship between the men that served there. Dave's story focuses on his time as a soldier and his return psychologically exhausted to a divided nation.

Included are the earliest series, like American Comics Group's Adventures into the Unknown and Prize Comics' Frankenstein, and the controversial and gory comics of the '40s, such as EC's infamous and influential Tales from the Crypt. The resurgence of monster-horror titles during the '60s is explored, along with the return of horror anthologies like Dell Comics' Ghost Stories and Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House.

This book examines how horror comics exploited everyday terrors, and often reflected societal attitudes toward women and people who were different.

Book excerpt: An orphaned girl is held spellbound by the tales of a lighthouse keeper on the Scottish coast, in a novel by the Costa Award-winning author of The Passion. After her mother is literally swept away by the savage winds off the Atlantic coast of Salts, Scotland, never to be seen again, the orphaned Silver is feeling particularly unmoored. Taken in by the mysterious keeper of a lighthouse on Cape Wrath, Silver finds an anchor in Mr. Pew—blind, as old and legendary as a unicorn, and a yarn spinner of persuasive power. The tale he has to tell Silver is that of a nineteenth-century clergyman named Babel Dark, whose life was divided between a loving light and a mask of deceit. Peopled with such luminaries as Charles Darwin and Robert Louis Stevenson, Mr. Pew’s story within a story within a story soon unfolds like a map. It’s one that Silver must follow if she’s to be led through her own darkness, and to find her own meaning in life, in this novel by a winner of the Costa, Lambda, and E.M. Forster Awards, the author of Oranges are Not the Only Fruit; Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? and other acclaimed works. “In her sea-soaked and hypnotic eighth novel, Winterson turns the tale of an orphaned young girl and a blind old man into a fable about love and the power of storytelling…Atmospheric and elusive, Winterson's high-modernist excursion is an inspired meditation on myth and language.”—The New Yorker

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one of the happiest days of Sara Ann’s life, it was spring break and her father bought a new boat. He wanted to surprise his daughter and take her on her first trip on a boat in the ocean. Sara lost her mother a few years ago to cancer, and her father took it hard and knew in his heart no other woman could ever fill that hole in his heart so he just focused on his only daughter Sara Ann, and made sure she never did without, and always put her first because Sara was very close to her mother, and he had not always been around because of working so many hours at his job and decided to do the best he could to raise her in a loving home so she could grow up and be the best person she could like her mother. Sara’s father bought the boat so he could spend more time with his daughter and let her see the beauty of the ocean even though it was short-lived. Sara’s father blindfolded his daughter and took her to his barn where he hid the boat from Sara for a surprise. When Sara entered the barn her father took off the blindfold and Sara said “It’s beautiful father.” Then her father said I’ve got another surprise and he took her by the hand around the other side of the boat and said “You can open your eyes now.” Sara cried tears of joy and said “That’s my name!” Her father chimed in and said, “I named the boat after you because when you were born it was the happiest day of your mom and I lives.” Sara gave her dad a hug and thanked him. Her father said, “Why don’t we take it for a spin?” Sara said, “That would be so cool!” “I can only be gone for an hour because I promised my friends I would go with them on our spring break.” Her father replied, “That’s fine I know you’re excited about going on this trip and there will always be more trips on the boat in the days to come.” “Remember, I was young once too and I could not wait to go on spring break with my friends so no big deal.” Sara’s father hooked up the boat to his truck and the two drove happily to the dock and set sail in the ocean on a clear beautiful sunny day. Even though Sara’s father read the stories about the Bermuda Triangle, he just thought they were all explainable and not mysterious disappearances as were written about in many books.

Book excerpt: Life in the small town of Castile Springs was pretty boring. The only excitement this little town ever saw was bingo day only because it was one hundred percent retirement population, but that was all about to change when Sarah being younger than the rest in the town thought this quiet little town would be a good place to work on her first novel for the summer. Her first night in the town was pleasant until the owner of the house she was renting from asked her what her plans were. Sarah replied, “I am working on my first novel and was looking for a small town for some peace and quiet to finish it.” The owner chimed in and said, “Are you sure this is the place you really want to write your book?” “Oh, yes this is the perfect place,” replied Sarah. The owner did not like her answer so he said “I’m sure there are other towns besides this one. This town only has old people residing here, I’m sure you will be bored not having anyone to talk to.” Sarah quietly answered saying “I’m a bit of a bore myself, so I think if I decided to make this my permanent residence I wouldn’t be any bother to anyone.” The owner answered in a low tone of voice saying “You know you can always change your mind in the morning.” Sarah said “Thanks for your concern, but I really need to start writing, so if you don’t mind closing the door behind you and if I decide otherwise you’ll be the first to know.” “Okay,” replied the owner, in a voice of frustration. After the owner closed the front door to the house she said to herself, “That man sure is an odd one and not very interested when I said that I may not leave when my novel is finished.”
Download or read book Off With Their Heads written by Drac Von Stoller and published by Drac Von Stoller. This book was released on with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Victoria took being a queen to the head literally. Anyone she did not like would be sent to the chopping block where she became famous for “Off with their heads,” and off they went, but one day that would all change when she yelled out “Off with his head.” When the guillotine rope was being released and the blade came down it stopped within inches of the man’s neck. Then there was silence from the queen and spectators. Everyone’s jaw dropped because the queen was always successful at every execution. The queen immediately got up from her chair and raced over to ask her henchmen why they failed. The queen yelled out in anger “Do it again!” So, the henchmen examined the guillotine and got it ready again. The queen sat back down in her chair and said “No one leaves my execution with their heads still attached to their body.” The queen again yelled out “Off with his head!” Again the blade came down inches from his neck and stopped. This infuriated the queen and she would stop at nothing to get this man back on the chopping block. The queen had to release the man because of the botched execution and scheduled the execution the next morning. The queen was laughed at by the spectators for failing at what she was famous for. Jokes were said around town about the queen’s botched execution, but the queen refused to let one botched execution break her spirit. The queen loved to look at her castle from a distance and see all the severed heads hanging over the castle walls from her executions this made her feel inferior to anyone.
