Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Isles on the Edge of the Sea,” so named by the Norse, form an Atlantic barrier along the western shore of Scotland. These remote islands of the Hebrides are a continuation of the mountains of the Western Highlands reaching far out to sea. For the most part they are barren projections, covered with machair, peat, rock and the vestiges of thousands of years of habitation.One of these projections, Beinn Dornie, a sister mountain of Beinn Dhubh, Black Mountain, on Harris, forms the island of Dorney about two miles west of the larger Isle of Harris. It is late winter, a miserably wet, cold, and windy time when even the warm peat fires fail to take the damp out of the stone dwellings. The only savior is the Dorney single malt made at the island's ancient distillery.Marjorie Collins joins forces with childhood heartthrob, Patrick Hayes, now an Anglican priest, in a bizarre struggle with smugglers, pirates, ghosts and surreptitiously with Lucifer himself. Lucifer appears to have emerged from a grotesque painting by a demented artist, and both of Marjorie's parents are murdered while chasing Lucifer to the island of Dorney. What would attract the devil to this howling, storm-swept speck in the North Atlantic? Patrick and Marjorie find themselves in a race to uncover the evil of the Devil's Lair in time to save the islanders from death and destruction.

Download or read book Damnable Tales written by Richard Wells and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated anthology gathers together classic short stories from masters of supernatural fiction including M. R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen, alongside lesser-known voices in the field including Eleanor Scott and Margery Lawrence, and popular writers less bound to the horror genre, such as Thomas Hardy and E. F. Benson. These are damnable tales, selected and beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells. They stalk the moors at night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the haunted landscapes of folk-horror – a now widely used term first applied to a series of British films from the late 1960s and 1970s: Witchfinder General (1968), Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971), and The Wicker Man (1973). But as this collection shows, writers of uncanny fiction were dabbling in the dark side of folklore long before. These twenty-two stories take the reader beyond the safety and familiarity of the town into the isolated and untamed wilderness. Unholy rites, witches’ curses, sinister village traditions and ancient horrors that lurk within the landscape all combine to remind us that the shiny modern, urban world might not have all the answers...

Download or read book Foxmask written by Juliet Marillier and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foxmask is the second book of a fantasy duet from Juliet Marillier, weaving history and folklore into a saga of adventure, romance, and magic. The Norseman Eyvind, a fierce and loyal Wolfskin, came to a new land on top of the world to find his destiny. With his priestess bride Nessa he saved the land and weathered the treachery that was caused by Eyvind's blood-sworn friend Somerled. After much pain and sorrow the two lovers have managed to create a society where the Norse warriors and the gentle folks of the Orkney Isles live and thrive in contentment at last. A decade and more has passed since the devastating events of the creation of the settlement and Eyvind and Nessa have watched their children grow and thrive in peace. But not all on the islands are content or at peace. Thorvald, the young son of Margaret, widow of the slain king and Eyvind's war leader, has always felt apart and at odds with all he knows. He learns upon his coming to manhood that he is not his father's son but that of the love that Margaret bore for the hated Somerled and that Somerled was not killed for his treachery but sent on a boat, adrift with little more than a knife and skein of water, doomed to the god's will. Thorvald is determined to find a boat and cast off to the West in a desperate bid to find a father he never knew...and to find out if he is made of the same stuff as the heinous traitor. The tragedy of this scheme would be horrific enough...if it were not for the fact that Creidhe, the winsome daughter of Eyvind and Nessa has loved Thorvald since birth and unbeknownst to him conspires to go along on this most perilous of quests. What happens to them on their journey of discovery will ultimately change the lives of all they know and love...and will doom (or redeem) an entire people.
