Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.

Download or read book The Midnight Assassin written by Skip Hollandsworth and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller, The Midnight Assassin is a sweeping narrative history of a terrifying serial killer--America's first--who stalked Austin, Texas in 1885. In the late 1800s, the city of Austin, Texas was on the cusp of emerging from an isolated western outpost into a truly cosmopolitan metropolis. But beginning in December 1884, Austin was terrorized by someone equally as vicious and, in some ways, far more diabolical than London's infamous Jack the Ripper. For almost exactly one year, the Midnight Assassin crisscrossed the entire city, striking on moonlit nights, using axes, knives, and long steel rods to rip apart women from every race and class. At the time the concept of a serial killer was unthinkable, but the murders continued, the killer became more brazen, and the citizens' panic reached a fever pitch. Before it was all over, at least a dozen men would be arrested in connection with the murders, and the crimes would expose what a newspaper described as "the most extensive and profound scandal ever known in Austin." And yes, when Jack the Ripper began his attacks in 1888, London police investigators did wonder if the killer from Austin had crossed the ocean to terrorize their own city. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Texas Monthly journalist Skip Hollandsworth brings this terrifying saga to life.

Download or read book Tender is the Night The Original 1934 Edition written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 4301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Tender is the Night', Francis Scott Fitzgerald delves into the glamorous and turbulent world of the American expatriates in the 1920s. The novel follows the lives of Dick and Nicole Diver, exploring the complexities of marriage, mental health, and the destructive impact of wealth and status. Fitzgerald's beautiful prose captures the essence of the Jazz Age while simultaneously providing a poignant commentary on human nature and the effects of societal expectations. The novel's structure, with its non-linear narrative and intricate character development, showcases Fitzgerald's literary prowess and ability to create a vivid and immersive story. 'Tender is the Night' stands as a classic example of American literature, showcasing the author's keen insight into the human condition and skillful storytelling. Francis Scott Fitzgerald himself led a troubled life marked by personal struggles and the pursuit of societal success. His own experiences with wealth and excess likely informed the themes present in 'Tender is the Night', making the novel a deeply personal and introspective work. Fitzgerald's reputation as a literary giant of the 20th century further solidifies the importance of 'Tender is the Night' in the realm of American literature. I recommend 'Tender is the Night' to readers looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. Fitzgerald's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature.
