Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's not everyday a girl wakes up only to discover her memories have vanished. Crysta's past is one huge question mark, but a handsome faerie prince by the name of Kheelan is more than happy to fill in the blanks. He swears Crysta is his one true love, and she's hard-pressed to argue the point, especially since she's trying to play catch-up to the social and political upheaval within the Fae realm while avoiding an assassin bent on her destruction, Kheelan's very own brother, Jareth. With a magical plague attacking every race in the realm and a mad king dabbling in the Dark Arts, Crysta, her fianc' Kheelan, and her father Rodri, must face the impossible task of convincing the royals of the Unseelie Court to wage war against King Moridan before it's too late. But Crysta's heart and thoughts are somewhere else. Brief flashes of a faerie prince with silver hair and deep, blue eyes continually haunt her. Who is this mystery man, and why isn't he Kheelan?
Download or read book The Impostor written by Damon Galgut and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “unsettling and engaging” novel about contemporary South Africa, from the Man Booker Prize–winning author of The Promise (The Telegraph). Adam Napier leaves Johannesburg looking for a fresh start. Jobless and directionless, but with a head full of literary ambitions, he moves into his brother’s dilapidated house on the edge of a backwater town. One day he encounters Canning, a man who claims Adam saved his life in their school days. Adam does not remember him at all. But he plays along and, for a time, enjoys all that Canning has: a vast fortune and game preserve inherited from his father, and a beautiful, mysterious younger wife to whom Adam is compulsively, dangerously drawn. “An antipastoral, post-apartheid noir” (Publishers Weekly) by “a worthy heir to Gordimer and Coetzee”, The Imposter evokes a glittering world of the moneyed old guard, newly empowered black Africans, and the betrayal and obsessions hiding in the shadows of the new South African dream (The Guardian, UK).

Download or read book The Three Impostors written by Arthur Machen and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Three Impostors (1895) is a novel by Arthur Machen. Consisting of interwoven stories involving the title characters, The Three Impostors was compared to the prose style of Robert Louis Stevenson on publication. Condemned as decadent and obscene upon publication, Machen’s writing earned praise from Oscar Wilde and H. P. Lovecraft. Throughout the years, Machen’s work has been referenced and adapted by such figures as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, and Josh Malerman for its masterfully unsettling blend of science, myth, and magic. Inspired by his knowledge of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which was undergoing a controversial conflict involving Irish poet W. B. Yeats and English mystic Aleister Crowley at the time, Machen crafts a layered tale of suspense and secrecy that continues to entertain and surprise over a century after its release. In London, a secret society of occultists gains strength through mutual disdain of modern life and Victorian social conventions. Three impostors gifted in the art of deceit do their best to disrupt city life while embarking on a quest for an Imperial Roman coin with a salacious history. The Three Impostors is a kaleidoscopic novel concerned with the horrors ever present on the outskirts of daily life, waiting to make themselves known. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Arthur Machen’s The Three Impostors is a classic of British horror fiction reimagined for modern readers.
