Download or read book The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Thomas Graham Jackson-Six Ghost Stories-Two Novelettes and Four Shorter Tales to Chill the Blood written by Thomas Graham Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six classic ghostly tales in the tradition of M. R. James This delightful collection of classic ghost stories was the only foray into the world of supernatural fiction made by the renowned British architect Sir Thomas Graham Jackson. Jackson was born in 1835 and rose to become one of the most distinguished architects of his generation. He spent much of his career working within the academic environment of Oxford, England and his work on many college projects is enduring and highly regarded. The internationally famous 'Bridge of Sighs' over New College Lane is notable among them. Perhaps it was his long association with the world of academia that fostered a love of the 'Jamesian' style of the ghostly tale. In any event his own literary efforts-executed late in life at the age of 80- fall satisfyingly within that tradition. This concise book is now very rare and among collectors of supernatural fiction is a highly desirable find on the antiquarian book market. This special Leonaur edition is therefore an essential addition to the bookshelves of all enthusiasts. Available as a paperback as a collectors hardcover edition with a full cloth binding, head bands, gold foil embossed spine and dust jacket.

This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A second helping of fiction with the chilling touch of fear from Charles Dickens The works of Charles Dickens are justifiably famous and timeless classics. His most famous ghostly tale, 'A Christmas Carol' has become THE Christmas ghost story and has been filmed and dramatised for the stage and radio on numerous occasions. It is also well known that Dickens had a particular palate for the fiction of the strange, other worldly and bizarre, indeed there have been collections of his strange and weird tales published in the past. This special Leonaur collection is different containing, perhaps, an unprecedented 35 novellas, novelettes and short stories within two coordinating volumes available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jackets. This second volume of Dickens fiction of the bizarre and ghostly contains two novellas, 'The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain' and 'The Cricket on the Hearth, ' two novelettes, 'The Haunted House' and the highly regarded, 'The Chimes' and ten shorter pieces including 'The Ghost of the Brides Chamber.' 'The Ghosts of the Mail.' 'To be read at dusk.' 'The Queer Client.' 'Trial for Murder' and more equally gripping tales that contribute to what is, perhaps, one of the most comprehensive collections of Dickens' strange fiction ever published.
Book Synopsis The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Richard Marsh by : Richard Marsh
Download or read book The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Richard Marsh written by Richard Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth volume of a unique collection of bizarre tales from a master of the genre Richard Marsh was the pseudonym of British born author Richard Bernard Heldman (1857-1916). His most famous work of supernatural fiction, The Beetle, was published in 1897, the same year as Bram Stoker's tale of the vampire Count Dracula, and it is believed that initially Marsh's book, which also features a bizarre and sinister figure capable of 'shape shifting, ' was even more popular with readers than Stoker's. Today Marsh's book is still widely regarded as a classic of its genre. Although a prolific author who wrote in a number of genres including adventure fiction under his real name, Marsh is principally remembered as a writer of supernatural thrillers and his output in this field was prodigious. Most aficionados of the genre have heard of The Beetle, but this special Leonaur collection of the author's excursions into the other worldly and strange extends to six satisfyingly substantial volumes containing many tales that will be unfamiliar to modern readers. In this fourth volume readers will find two novels, 'Tom Ossington's Ghost' and 'The House of Mystery, ' and six short stories of the strange and unusual. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
Book Synopsis The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Harriet Beecher Stowe by : Harriet Beecher Stowe
Download or read book The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Harriet Beecher Stowe written by Harriet Beecher Stowe and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Tales of Haunters and the Haunted Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) remains renowned as an author for her novel, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (1852) which took as its theme the harsh lives of African-American slaves in the southern states of America during the pre-Civil War period. The publication of that book exposed the unpalatable and monstrous injustice of slavery to an international readership which had no personal experience of it. She will always be remembered as a tireless campaigner whose work galvanised anti-slavery movements in the northern states and as a committed feminist and advocate for women's rights. In addition to her most famous book she wrote thirty others on a variety of subjects as well as the short stories collected here. Although Harriet Beecher Stowe's excursions into the fiction of the ghostly and peculiar were comparatively few in number, they are charmingly set within the world of the rural south of America in the mid-19th century and are populated by a cast of unforgettable period characters. All of those tales are gathered together in this special Leonaur edition. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
Download or read book Ghost Stories written by Charles Dickens and published by Collector's Library. This book was released on 2009 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his illustrious writing career, Charles Dickens often turned his hand to fashioning short pieces of ghostly fiction. Even in his first successful work, Pickwick Papers, you will find five ghost stories, all of which are included in this collection. Dickens began the tradition of the 'ghost story at Christmas', and many of his tales in this genre are presented here including the brilliant novella, 'The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargin', which deserves to be as well known as A Christmas Carol. While all his supernatural tales aim to chill the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens' flamboyant style, his subtle with, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations. It is a mixture which makes these stories fascinating and entertaining as well as unsettling. To paraphrase the Fat Boy in Pickwick Papers: Charles Dickens 'wants to make your flesh creep.'

Download or read book The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of D H Lawrence-Three Novelettes-'Glad Ghosts,' 'the Man Who Died,' 'the Border Line'-and Five Short St written by D. H. Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight tales of unease from one of the finest English writers of the 20th century D. H. Lawrence wrote a large body of work as an author, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic. His most famous (perhaps infamous) work was 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' and among his other highly regarded novels are 'Women in Love, ' 'Sons and Lovers, ' 'The Rainbow' and 'The Plumed Serpent.' Lawrence's focus on human sexuality may have brought about a scandal and an undeserved reputation as a pornographer, but nevertheless upon his death E. M. Forster referred to him as 'the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.' Lawrence's huge capacity for writing fortunately guided him towards many subjects including a concise and exquisitely crafted collection of shorter works concerning ghosts, hauntings, dark places and macabre scenarios within which his often troubled characters must live. This special Leonaur collection-by an unusual exponent of the genre-includes 'Glad Ghosts, ' 'Smile, ' 'The Last Laugh, ' 'The Lovely Lady, ' 'The Man who Died, ' 'The Border Line, ' 'Sun, ' 'The Woman who Rode Away' and the highly regarded classic, 'The Rocking Horse Winner.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was chosen Foreman of the Jury. On the second morning of the trial, after evidence had been taken for two hours (I heard the church clocks strike), happening to cast my eyes over my brother jurymen, I found an inexplicable difficulty in counting them. I counted them several times, yet always with the same difficulty. In short, I made them one too many. I touched the brother jurymen whose place was next me, and I whispered to him, "Oblige me by counting us." He looked surprised by the request, but turned his head and counted. "Why," says he, suddenly, "we are Thirt-; but no, it's not possible. No. We are twelve."
