Book excerpt: The Conclusion of the Heaven's Kin Trilogy The angel Satan once lived the life of a humble mortal shepherd. He suffered a tragic fate, and met his demise at the hands of a merciless fallen angel. His essence was refashioned into the angel of the damned, and for countless centuries he ruled Hell as the jailer of God, ensnaring souls within the endless confines of perdition. Yet, in a moment of inexplicable vulnerability, a strange new warmth filled the angel's heart, compelling him to forsake the inferno forever. An English magician created an innocent child-like servitor in his own image. The bird-footed boy was forged from the very fabric of the stars, and molded into a twisted reflection of the man's bestial nature. After the wizard's death, the servitor survived by pretending to be his creator, until the endless loneliness became more than he could bear. The boy tried to bring his unnatural existence to an end, but destiny would not be thwarted, and he became consumed by an internal blood serpent. The entity grew, and fed upon the magician's acolytes for decades. A demon fell in love with a mortal woman, who came to love him in turn. Their passion led them to merge their souls in a forbidden, unholy union. The reckless act culminated in their demise, birthing a creature of unimaginable horror. The ravenous monster wrought havoc upon the souls of hundreds, consuming all in its path. However, Heaven intervened, and bestowed the abomination with a semblance of grace, transforming it into the innocent angel of Satan’s paradise.

Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of the shocking Springfield township cold case. As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years.

Some feared witchcraft was to blame, while others believed a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of a police cover up ran rampant, and the case went unsolved - along with the murders of several other young women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Septuagenarian rent boys recall the good old days and Carry On stars go to seed. Clandestine fascist networks emerge. And all the time, there is Seabrook himself - desperate perhaps, and in danger. Dark, strange and immediate, this is a classic work of sui generis British literature. There are devils here, and the reader will remember them.

Download or read book The Devil s Rosary written by Seabury Quinn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second of five volumes collecting the stories of Jules de Grandin, the supernatural detective made famous in the classic pulp magazine Weird Tales. Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn. Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales's original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey. In de Grandin there are familiar shades of both Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and alongside his assistant, Dr. Samuel Trowbridge, de Grandin's knack for solving mysteries—and his outbursts of peculiar French-isms (grand Dieu!)—captivated readers for nearly three decades. Collected for the first time in trade editions, The Complete Tales of Jules de Grandin, edited by George Vanderburgh, presents all ninety-three published works featuring the supernatural detective. Presented in chronological order over five volumes, this is the definitive collection of an iconic pulp hero. The second volume, The Devil's Rosary, includes all of the Jules de Grandin stories from "The Black Master" (1929) to "The Wolf of St. Bonnot" (1930), as well as a foreword by Stefan Dziemianowicz.
