Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spook Ballads His voice is of such convincing suasion, that it is a novel and interesting experience to hear him relate with circumstantial enthusiasm. The ghostly interview afforded him by a fortuitous chance within the interesting grounds of Hampton Court. His is a testimony most reliable, and calculated to establish as a fact the actual presence of supernatural shadows in that historic locality. It also hints at the necessit and use. Of making the ghost 3. More familiar stud whereby the lated world would rid itself of much unne fright. Consequent on the invariable habit of spasmodically avoiding the familiar advances of the common or bedroom spook. N Hampton Court I wandered on a twilight evening grey, Amidst its mazy precincts I had lost my tourist way, And while I cogitated, on a seat of carven stone, I heard beneath an orange tree, an elongated groan I crinkled with astonishment, 'twas not a fit of fright, For loud elastic wailings, I have heard at twelve at night, The midnight peace disturbing in the lamplit streets below, But this was uttered in an unfamiliar groan of woe, And Hampton Court I wot had got some questionable nooks, In which it harboured spectres, and disreputable spooks, In which it shrouded headless Queens, and shades of evil Kings With ill-conditioned titled knaves, in lemans leading strings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daylight dreams of many a time, When song, and rhythmic story, Were tuned, and voiced for Bigot, and in gay Bohemian ears, Bring welcome wraiths of joyous nights, thro' whirling clouds of glory; The incense of the social weed, o'er spirit cup that cheers. With hail! to Cycle speedmen, and the boaters of Dunleary, Clontarf, and the Harmonic, where we sang with midnight chimes, The smokers of Conservatives, and Liberal Unions cheery, I weave regretful tribute to their jovial social times; For autumn gales of life have blown those festal hours asunder, And scattered far by land and sea, the steps of many a one, And some alas! beneath the sod, for evermore gone under, Have left a rainbow thro' the mist of grief that they have won. But slantha! to the hearts, and hands, of those who yet remaining, Do carry down traditions of that bright Bohemian throng, And slantha! to the soulful sheen, of life-light never waning From Old Eblana's heaven of her social art, and song. And here's to all Bohemians, of whatever rank, or station, Whatever tint, or black or tan, or creed you are by birth, Sweet voices of the earth's romance, of every land, or nation, Hail! brothers, in the carnival of music, song, and mirth: So fill we tankards, or the glass, for draught with lusty cheering, Of honor to a crowning toast, with greeting heart and hand, As everlasting goal, for letters, art, and song, and beering, Hip, hip, hurrah! vive! hoc! and skoal! to Fleet Street and the Strand!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of a Haunted Heart From childhood I was a close student of erudite authors, a dreamer, an idealist. When I was eighteen, to this old house, with its windows embrasured deep in ivy, and the lilies growing all along its walks, came the prince of journalists, whose name had long been to me a synonym for grace, gallantry, and greatness. Clergymen and college-boys had hitherto bounded my horizon, but my new friend was of a different mould. To a brilliant mind, cultivated by extensive travel, were added the charms of magnificent manners, an imperial bearing, a princely person, and a temperament peculiarly attractive to women - impulsive, passionate, and daring.

Download or read book Swansong written by Kerry Andrew and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Swansong is the real thing, right from the start: spiky, strange and contemporary, but always with a dark undertow of myth and folklore tugging at its telling...this is a brilliant novel by a writer - and musician - of frankly alarming talent.’ Robert Macfarlane In this stunningly assured, immersive and vividly atmospheric first novel from the celebrated musician, a young woman comes face-to-face with the volatile, haunted wilderness of the Scottish Highlands. Polly Vaughan is trying to escape the ravaging guilt of a disturbing incident in London by heading north to the Scottish Highlands. As soon as she arrives, this spirited, funny, alert young woman goes looking for drink, drugs and sex – finding them all quickly, and unsatisfactorily, with the barman in the only pub. She also finds a fresh kind of fear, alone in this eerie, myth-drenched landscape. Increasingly prone to visions or visitations – floating white shapes in the waters of the loch or in the woods – she is terrified and fascinated by a man she came across in the forest on her first evening, apparently tearing apart a bird. Who is this strange loner? And what is his sinister secret? Kerry Andrew is a fresh new voice in British fiction; one that comes from a deep understanding of the folk songs, mythologies and oral traditions of these islands. Her powerful metaphoric language gives Swansong a charged, hallucinatory quality that is unique, uncanny and deeply disquieting.

Download or read book The Children s Ghost Story in America written by Sean Ferrier-Watson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghost stories have played a prominent role in childhood. Circulated around playgrounds and whispered in slumber parties, their history in American literature is little known and seldom discussed by scholars. This book explores the fascinating origins and development of these tales, focusing on the social and historical factors that shaped them and gave birth to the genre. Ghost stories have existed for centuries but have been published specifically for children for only about 200 years. Early on, supernatural ghost stories were rare--authors and publishers, fearing they might adversely affect young minds, presented stories in which the ghost was always revealed as a fraud. These tales dominated children's publishing in the 19th century but the 20th century saw a change in perspective and the supernatural ghost story flourished.
