Book excerpt: This is the final Chapter in the Dr Syn series. It tells the tale of the good people of England's Romney Marsh, battling to deceive the local revenue men of duty for contraband goods from France. The men of Romney Marsh are led by the villan the Scarecrow who is non other than the good Dr Syn Parson of Dymchurch-under-the wall, so named as the sea is 9 feet above the sea wall. At night the frail Parson Dr Syn becomes the vicious Scarecrow, stopping at nothing to get the cotraband through, crossing the moorland and dikes, riding his huge black horse Gehenna painted with luminous paint, to add to the 'folklore' of the mystery of the Scarecrow. Only Mipps his faithful assistant knows the true identity of the Scarecrow. The Excise men finally get a man to match the Scarecrow and Mr Faulks arrives in Dymchurch with an old sailor that Syn multilated in his days on the sea as Captain Clegg (told in Dr Syn on the high seas). Recognition of the old Sailor sends Syn into morbid moods, Mipps knows his master is worried about the visitor from the past.

Book excerpt: Posing as a respectable vicar in Dymchurch at the turn of the 18th century, Dr. Syn is actually the retired pirate Captain Clegg, believed hanged in Rye. He takes on a secret identity "The Scarecrow" and leads a gang of smugglers known as the Marsh Men. They travel Romney Marsh by night on horseback, sometimes using mounts painted with phosphorus to give them a spectral appearance, spreading legends of supernatural evil and menace. He uses his ill-gotten gains to help the poor and destitute in his parish.

Download or read book Doctor Syn written by Russell Thorndike and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein is the tale of Doctor Syn, a swashbuckling smuggler who ferried brandy and tobacco from the French countryside to Romney Marsh in southeast England. The titular character is no ordinary sea dog; educated at Oxford University, he lives incognito as a clergyman, respected in his parish as a gentle and affable man of faith. However, circumstances and revelations unveil his shocking past as a pirate and smuggler, with the resulting ructions a catalyst for the scrapes which follow. The story of Doctor Syn has some basis in reality; the high taxation which France levied upon luxury goods such as alcoholic spirits and tobacco in the 18th century led to a lively and active smuggling culture across the English Channel. The trade in untaxed products was so lucrative that local militias and even detachments of Kent's army facilitated its continuation. It is with a combination of quick-wittedness and guile that Syn originally gained expertise at the pirating life; in equal measure, he uses such social gifts to lay low long term as a humble vicar. This book is but the first in a classic series of adventure books featuring Doctor Syn, a character riven with complexity who made Russell Thorndike one of the most popular fiction authors of the early 20th century.

Book excerpt: Now, said the sexton, "I blows out the candles and you shall see." Jerry opened his eyes as the sexton blew out the lights. "Bring the mirror!" called the sexton to the other room. And then into the coffin shop came the other members of the company, and the mystery of the demon riders was explained, for in the dark room each diabolical face glistened like the moon, and when the cracked mirror had been held up before him he saw that he in his turn burned with the same hellfire. "It's now time, Satan, to get the scarecrow in, and you, Beelzebub, go and paint the horses with what's left in that cauldron."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doctor Syn: A Smuggler Tale of the Romney Marsh To Those who have small knowledge of Kent let me say that the fishing village of Dymchurch-under-the-wall lies on the south coast midway between two of the ancient Cinque ports, Romney and Hythe. In the days of George III, with Trafalgar still unfought, our coast watchmen swept with keen glasses this broad bend of the Channel; watched not for smugglers (for there was little in Dymchurch to attract the smuggler, with its flat coastline open all the way from Dover cliffs around Dungeness to Beachy Head), but for the French men-o'-war. In spite of being perilously open to the dangers of the French coast, Dymchurch was a happy little village in those days - aye, and prosperous, too, for the Squire, Sir Antony Cobtree, though in his younger days a wild and reckless adventurer, a gambler and a duellist, had, of late years, resolved himself into a pattern Kentish squire, generous to the village, and so vastly popular.

Book excerpt: "Dr. Syn's creator cannot but write interestingly. . . . Some of the strange stories are horrible and not for the squeamish." - Sydney Morning Herald "These tales of terror and violence are quite nightmarish in their exciting conception." - Glasgow Evening News "Master of the Macabre is certainly macabre and provides just what you want, if you enjoy reading of 'ghosts and ghoulies, long leggity beasties and things that go bump in the night.'" The Star (Sheffield) "It is all very good reading for a windy night, alone in front of an open fireplace." - Winnipeg Tribune "This book is strange, thrilling and certainly macabre." - Yorkshire Evening Press Tayler Kent flees London in a blinding snowstorm, hoping to escape the ghosts that haunt his home. Instead, he finds things may have gone from bad to worse when he crashes his car, breaks his ankle, and is forced to take refuge at a medieval monastery now inhabited by the eccentric Charles Hogarth, known as "The Master of the Macabre." As Kent's ankle heals, Hogarth entertains him with fine food, brandy, and a series of gruesome stories connected with an odd assortment of old relics on display in a curio cabinet. But the terrors are not confined to Hogarth's tales: the monastery is haunted by the evil spirit of an apostate monk and besieged by more corporeal foes, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on one of the Master's treasures. . . . Best known for his series of novels featuring the smuggler Dr. Syn, Russell Thorndike (1885-1972) in The Master of the Macabre (1947) delivers an irresistible mix of horror, adventure, and black humour that is sure to please fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction. This first-ever republication of the novel includes the original jacket art and a new introduction by Mark Valentine.

Book excerpt: A FICTION HOUSE PRESS FACSIMILE REPRINT A STIRRING ADVENTURE TALE OF THE ROMNEY MARSH Russell Thorndyke has evidently let himself go and has had a good old swashbuckling time of it in writing "Dr. Syn," a novel of adventure, the scene of which is laid in Kent in the days of George III. Romney Marsh, the lonely region where much of the action takes place, was continually visited by night riders, fiendish figures dimly seen by the glow from the Jack-o'-lanterns which they carried. In the village lived a person scarcely less mysterious than they--a genial, kindly vicar, who sang quite inappropriate snatches of pirate songs. The refrain which fell oftenest from his lips was the favorite chanty of the redoutable pirate chief, Clegg, hanged, according to rumor, a decade before. The story opens with the arrival on the marsh of a troop of royal soldiers, sent to detect and seize the smugglers who had long operated there. A series of mysterious murders ensue, the suspected criminal being a mulatto sailor who seems to gather a good bit of evidence for the officers despite the fact that his tongue has been cut out and his ears lopped off in previous adventures. The story moves along with a truly boyish gusto, and the final scene, where Dr. Syn, revealed as Clegg the pirate, dies as horrible a death as any of his victims, is sanguinary enough to satisfy a reader of Nick Carter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctor Syn is a quiet, unassuming vicar in the small fishing village of Dymchurch-under-the-wall. He, his sexton Mipps, and the friendly villagers lead a simple life—until a frigate sent by the King lands at their docks, and an officious captain steps down into the village in search of smugglers.
