Book excerpt: What happens when Amanda finds a locked room in the barn and looks through the keyhole? And what happens when she sees a cat in the room? And what happens when she discovers that the room is full of her grandfather's memories about a cat named Toots? Amanda can actually see a picture of each memory when she looks through the keyhole. It's like looking at the TV, but there is no sound. Amanda asks her grandfather to explain each event. The keyhole opens up a treasure trove of adventure stories about a young Canadian boy and a cat, growing up during the depression years of the 30's. The stories are narrated in a series of conversations between Amanda and her grandfather. McCavour blends a series of life learning experiences and an accurate description of cat behavior into an exciting adventure for readers and cat lovers of all ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic mystery features a family feud, feline intervention, and the spirited septuagenarian sleuth from The Cat Saw Murder. A strange encounter with a little girl named Claudia and a dead toad sparks Rachel Murdock’s obsessive curiosity, and she winds up renting the house next door just to see how things play out. But soon after she and her cat Samantha move in, Rachel realizes they’ve landed right in the middle of a deadly love triangle that’s created animosity among the three families who now surround her. When Rachel finds Claudia’s great-grandmother dead in her basement, she reaches out to a friend in the LAPD to solve the crime. They soon learn the three households have been torn apart by one husband’s infidelity and a complicated will that could lead to a fortune. In a house plagued by forbidden love, regret, and greed, Rachel will have to trust her intuition, as well as Samantha’s instincts, to survive—and keep Claudia out of the hands of a killer whose work has just begun . . . “You will never regret having made the acquaintance of Miss Rachel Murdock.” —The New York Times The Alarm of the Black Cat was originally published under the pseudonym D. B. Olsen. Praise for Dolores Hitchens “High-grade suspense.” —San Francisco Chronicle on Stairway to an Empty Room/Terror Lurks in Darkness “For those who enjoy Little-Old-Lady detectives, this should be a pleasing mystery, particularly if active LOLs are preferred. . . . Both interesting and unusual is the motive for murder.” —Mystery*File on Cats Don’t Smile

Download or read book Black Cat Weekly #92 written by O’Neil De Noux and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2023-06-04 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our 92nd issue features a pair of classic novels, the science fiction tale Destiny Times Three, by Fritz Leiber, and The Clue of the New Pin, a mystery by Edgar Wallace. Leiber is one of my favorite authors (he has an amazing body of work, notably the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser sword and sorcery series, but also much else of note in the fantasy, science fiction, and horror fields). And Edgar Wallace was an amazing British author who created scores of classic stories, novels, and movies (including the original King Kong). At one point, a quarter of all novels sold in England were by Wallace. If you’re a fan of the French answer to Sherlock Holmes, Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin, you’re in for a treat. Here is a rare 1912 Arsène Lupin short story, “The Man with the Goat Skin,” in a brand new translation. (I’m finally putting my 7 years of French studies to good use.) And, of course, our acquiring editors Barb Goffman and Michael Bracken have been hard at work. This issue, we have a story by O’Neil De Noux, thanks to Michael. Barb snagged reprint rights to John M. Floyd’s Derringer Award-winner, “On the Road with Mary Jo.” Plus we the final 3 stories from Sekenre: The Book of the Sorcerer, by Darrell Schweitzer; a dark fantasy tale by Adrian Cole; a solve-it-yourself mystery by Hal Charles; plus vintage science fiction from Lester del Rey and Wm. Gray Beyer. Here’s the complete lineup: Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure: “A Pretty Slick Guy,” by O’Neil De Noux [Michael Bracken Presents short story] “The Case of the Murdered Manager,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] “On the Road with Mary Jo,” by John M. Floyd [Barb Goffman Presents short story] “The Man with the Goat Skin,” by Maurice Leblanc [short story, Arsène Lupin series] The Clue of the New Pin, by Edgar Wallace [novel] Science Fiction & Fantasy: “Demon Driver” by Adrian Cole [short story] “The Deadly Thinkers,” by Wm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue features original mysteries by O’Neil De Noux and Shannon Taft (thanks to our Acquiring Editors, Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), a Gil Brewer crime classic, and another entry in the Biff Brewer mystery series by Andy Adams. And what issue would be complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles? On the more fantastic side of things, you might say things have gone to the birds…we have a pair of classic avian-themed stories by Cordwainer Smith and Richard McKenna. But we also have a terrific Norman Spinrad short, about the effects of virtual entertainment on actors, and Darrell Schweitzer contributes a poignant tale of a man whose father has delusional battles against the dreaded Zeppelin Gang. Or are they delusions? And a few issues ago, I promised more of the humorous Toffee tales from Charles F. Myers. Well, in my research through the pulps, I only looked at titles…imagine my surprise when The Shades of Toffee turned out to be a novel, instead of a short story! Here it is. More Toffee shorts (I assume they’re short) will follow in future issues. Here’s the complete lineup: Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure: “The James Mason Effect,” by O’Neil De Noux [Michael Bracken Presents short story] “The Clue in the Conservatory,” Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] “A Tail of Justice,” by Shannon Taft [Barb Goffman Presents short story] “The Gesture,” by Gil Brewer [classic short story] The Mystery of the Caribbean Pearls, by Andy Adams [novel, Biff Brewer series] Science Fiction & Fantasy: “A Man of the Theater,” by Norman Spinrad “Fighting the Zeppelin Gang,” by Darrell Schweitzer “The Night of Hoggy Darn,” by Richard McKenna [classic short story] “From Gustible’s Planet,” by Cordwainer Smith [classic short story] The Shades of Toffee, by Charles F.

Download or read book Searching for Dr. Harris written by Margaret Humphreys and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the untold story of Dr. J. D. Harris, an African American physician whose life and career straddled enormous changes for Black professionals and the practice of medicine. Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Harris served as a contract surgeon to the Union army and transitioned to a similar post under the Freedmen's Bureau, treating Black troops and freedpeople in Virginia. Margaret Humphreys not only narrates what we know about Harris but offers context to his remarkable journey, including how incredible it was that a young man born into freedom in a slave state learned to read when literacy for Black people was illegal. He was one of very few African Americans to become a doctor before Howard Medical School opened in the 1870s, a fact that both reveals the structural barriers to medical education for Black Americans and highlights how those structures weakened in the 1860s. Drawing on census records, court records, Civil War and Reconstruction documents from the National Archives, African American newspapers, and more, this book is a revealing look at the history not only of medicine in the southern United States but also of race and citizenship during one of the nation's most tumultuous eras.

Book excerpt: ‘No one in this city has believed in me for two thousand years. I’m unknown and unloved. And I’m very, very ill.’ He sighed, and the sound chilled her blood. ‘Give me your hand.’ Dionysus, god of wine and divine ecstasy, is reborn in modern Rome. He doesn’t understand how or why he’s come to be here – a pagan god in a city where he has no believers. But when he meets fifteen-year-old Grace during a chance encounter in the Ghetto, he realises he has found his first new follower. This is the beginning of Grace’s secret life, as she and her friends overcome scepticism and fear to become his worshippers, drinking his wine and taking part in bacchanals across the city. As the melancholy god lives out his exile, his teenage followers find they have everything to lose. And after the first bloodshed, they know that there’s no turning back...

Download or read book Black Cat Weekly #165 written by Donna Andrews and published by Black Cat Weekly. This book was released on 2024-10-27 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s our final Halloween issue of the year—with lots of treats and only a few tricks. Headlining this issue is Bram Stoker’s “lost” horror tale, “Gibbet Hill,” which a researcher recently discovered in an Irish newspaper supplement from 1890. (It wasn’t listed in any of Stoker’s bibliographies, and it created quite a stir among horror aficionados.) I’ve very carefully edited it, correcting typos and a few dropped words, and fully annotated it. I think you’ll enjoy it. We also have original tales from bestselling authors Donna Andrews (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman) and Sharyn Kolberg (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), and one from newcomer Christopher Lawrence Froehlich, who makes his Black Cat Weekly debut. Plus a pair of modern classics from British masters John S. Glasby and E.C. Tubb, plus a nautical thriller by Alan B. Le May—who is most famous as the author of the classic Westerns The Searchers (1954) and The Unforgiven (1957). Our novels this issue are Allen Upward’s The Club of Masks—a rare British mystery from the Golden Age—and E.H. Visiak’s pirate fantasy, The Haunted Island. Here’s the complete lineup— NOVELS The Club of Masks, by Allen Upward There’s murder at a scandalous London club where decadent masked aristocrats mingle… The Haunted Island, by E.H.

Download or read book Hocus-Pocus written by Eberekpe Ogho and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hocus-pocus Both man, Lemur, and friend, Black Cat, work as spoken-wordsmith; their place of work are meetings and conventions or wherever the crowd is large. They erect their tents at different places and start to woo people to their stands, contradicting each other in other to win enough people to their stands to believe in either of them and, in the process sell their tracts and pamphlets. They have just finished from Hyde Park and Stratford where there is a huge gathering of musical and sporting turnouts. Grace works as an official of the government and augments her wage by going to the street every weekend when she is not working with her battered-looking violin to play some disjointed tones by saying 'hello' to forlorn looking passersby to attract their attention and patronage. Your sins are much heavier, then! God's punishment upon your brute would have been tampered if in your weakness you had hit a wife instead of a woman He first created ere her decision at alteration into the creation to be priced and possessed by punch gloves like you, as she strives towards the dearness of motherhood! O, how debased thou art! Why did you allow thyself to be driven to the sharp edge of dire evil by the devil thou art! To raise thy hand up against anything is evil itself let alone God's love, a woman! She will see to medication! Sinner! Subways and moron ...And the fools and yet the many and more damnable bastards who would not aspire to dare...furthering the rapid rise of more fools and many more inconsiderate bastards! Bastards! Oh, difficult villains! It looked at the expanse of life that was present everywhere, the greenery, the physical presence of endeavours and the sacrifices of minds desperately innovative and great in the ever achievements of all these grandeurs, and when it thought of the so-called educated minds far yonder...
