Book excerpt: Collected together in these pages you will find Whitby ghost stories, old and new, told or retold by Michael Wray. The stories are complemented with fine wood cut prints by noted artist Anne Marshall. Some of these stories can be heard on the Original Ghost Walk, others are whispered in dark corners of the ancient inns of the town some none dare speak of at all!Apparitions both before and after death are, of course not infrequent in Whitby. Many a valuable house has stood untenanted for years on the suspicion of its being haunted, the last residents having experienced considerable alarm and anxiety; the bed clothes torn off, the china broke, and furniture demolished. Strange traditions exist of certain yards, lanes and alleys; of some terrible homicide there committed: of departed spirits which have there walked for several nights successively, deprived of their rest, desirous of being addressed by someone, but none daring. The Whitby Repository, 1828.

Download or read book Lewis Carroll written by Edward Wakeling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author, pioneering photographer, mathematical don and writer of nonsense verse, Lewis Carroll remains a source of continuing fascination. Though many have sought to understand this complex man he remains for many an enigma. Now leading international authority, Edward Wakeling, offers his unique appraisal of the man born Charles Dodgson but whom the world knows best as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. This new biography of Carroll presents a fresh appraisal based upon his social circle. Contrary to the claims of many previous authors, Carroll's circle was not child centred: his correspondence was enormous, numbering almost 100,000 items at the time of his death, and included royalty and many of the leading artists, illustrators, publishers, academics, musicians and composers of the Victorian era. Edward Wakeling draws upon his personal database of nearly 6,000 letters, mostly never before published, to fill the gaps left by earlier biographies and resolve some of the key myths that surround Lewis Carroll, such as his friendships with children and his drug-taking. Meticulously researched and based upon a lifetime's study of the man and his work, this important new work will be essential reading for scholars and admirers of one of the key authors of the Victorian age.

His seminal novella “The Great God Pan” (1890) has become a classic of horror fiction, with Stephen King describing it as one of the best horror stories ever written in the English language.
