Review & Description

An Excerpt -

Outside a jeweler's stood a hansom-quite a curiosity in these days of motors-and, as Jane glided past, the horse shied. I have never seen an animal so terrified. We went on, and at the next crossing halted. A policeman had his hand up checking the traffic. His glance fell on Jane-the effect was electrical. His eyes bulged, his cheeks whitened, his chest heaved, his hand dropped, and he would undoubtedly have fallen had not a good Samaritan, in the guise of a non-psychical public-house loafer, held him up. Jane was now close to the chemist's, and it was with a sigh of relief that I saw her glide in and disappear.

Had there been any doubt at all, after my first encounter with Jane, as to her being superphysical, there was certainly none now. The policeman's paroxysm of fear and the horse's fit of shying were facts. What had produced them? I alone knew-and I knew for certain-it was Jane. Both man and animal saw what I saw. Hence the phantom was not subjective; it was not illusionary; it was a bona fide spirit manifestation-a visitant from the other world-the world of earthbound souls. Read more

The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (Carefully formatted by Timeless Classic Books) (Kindle Edition)

The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (Carefully formatted by Timeless Classic Books)
The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (Carefully formatted by Timeless Classic Books) (Kindle Edition)
By William Lang

Review & Description

Andrew Lang wrote of his book -

"The chief purpose of this book is, if fortune helps, to entertain people interested in the kind of narratives here collected. For the sake of orderly arrangement, the stories are classed in different grades, as they advance from the normal and familiar to the undeniably startling. At the same time an account of the current theories of Apparitions is offered, in language as free from technicalities as possible. According to modern opinion every "ghost" is a "hallucination," a false perception, the perception of something which is not present."

Andrew Lang was a prolific Scots man of letters. He was a poet, novelist, and literary critic, and contributor to anthropology. He now is best known as one of the most important collectors of folk and fairy tales. Read more

Love's Bite (An Erotic / Erotica Romance) (Kindle Edition)

Love's Bite (An Erotic / Erotica Romance)
Love's Bite (An Erotic / Erotica Romance) (Kindle Edition)
By Mica Jade

Review & Description

For stay at home mom, Ella, Halloween trick or treating with the children was the extent of her ghoulish activities. But her husband, Michael, has plans to bring out the devilish side of her when they masquerade as vampires for a bloodsucking night on the town. Will the vampire fling he has in mind leave love's bite on their ecstasy or will their wicked jaunt put a stake in their passion?

Love's Bite is an 8,200-word short story.

CAUTION: Love's Bite contains graphic and explicit sexual intimacy including some tantalizing uses of fangs. This is an erotic short story.

--------------------

EXCERPT:

Michael slid his hand under her mini-skirt. Ella felt her chest tighten. She closed her eyes revealing a sexy vamp design penciled over her eyelids that would revive any undead vampire. Michael's fingers moved slowly up her thighs tracing the fishnet stockings. The tips of his fingers felt the heat radiating from her soft panties. He gently pressed his fingers against the slope of her pelvic ridge. Ella breathed in deeply and opened her lipstick black lips. Michael could see her eyes roll side to side beneath her eyelids and he knew she would not be walking home tonight as she had threatened. He began to rub her clit through the fabric of her panties as he caressed her satin black blushed cheeks with the back of his other hand. Ella gasped and began to moan softly as she felt the heat from her pussy rush through her skin like an exploding wildfire.

"You are so fucking bad." Ella sighed. "Okay, do you want to fuck me now on this McMansion side street or shall we enjoy a little vampire party crashing first?"

Michael increased his circling of her clit. "Are you sure?" He toyed.

"Michael, I knew the day I met you..." She licked her lips as her hips lurched towards each rotation of his fingers. "...That you were going to cause me a lot of headaches and love." She smiled, leaned up and kissed him passionately.

Review & Description

The Goblins are gracious to the wise people now, but they were not always so. A long, long time ago, on a Christmas-eve, the Fairy-folk were having great sport. All the little people of the Unseen-world had gathered together in the Earth-realm. There were Brownies, and Gnomes, and Elves; even some little Cherubs had joined them. They were having a wild dance and a gay time when who should appear but Kris Kringle! Now the Fairies did not know that he was a Magician, or Seer, and so they tried to make sport of him. But Kris by his wonderful magic, changed them into the most beautiful toys. They became straight little jumping-jacks, and dolls in bright dresses, and the dearest little rabbit with white, soft fur. And somewhere in the bottom of the sleigh one was turned into a cute little Teddy-bear. Then old Kris tucked all these toys into his roomy sleigh, and shook the reins of his waiting steed. "Go on!" he said, "For I've many, many a chimney to reach tonight." Read more

Review & Description

Sax Rohmer is most well known for his Fu Manchu books which were immensely popular, with many being made into movies. Rohmer wrote many other books other than Fu Manchu, however, many of which involved an investigator named Paul Harley.

Some of these popular novels include Brood of the Witch Queen, Bat Wing and Fire-Tongue. Fire Tongue is actually a sequel to Bat Wing, but it is not necessary to read them in order to get full enjoyment out of each story.

What is Fire-Tongue? Is it a prophesied Zoroastrian god? Or is it the name of a secret cult? Or is that the code name for a code-blooded assassin? Maybe it refers to all of them ... but you'll have to read the book to find out.

Please note that this book was written many years ago, and there may be some sexist or racist attitudes within the writing that may be offensive to some.

However, if you can get past that, Rohmer will take you on a thrill ride that might keep you up all night! Read more
