Book Description
Transport yourself to the heart of South and Central Africa with this collection of short stories about ordinary people. Aged between 18 and 50, these characters find themselves entangled in situations that lead to tragedy, dishonesty, and betrayal. In one story, an older man takes advantage of his publishing manager friend’s goodwill and sells a business sponsored by the manager behind his back for his own profit. In another story, an unpopular man in a company becomes a ‘hero’ after being attacked on a staff fishing trip on the Zambezi River, leading to his promotion and a change in attitude towards those who invited him on the trip. Other stories follow the desires of ordinary people, such as a man who searches for a married woman he met years ago in Malawi, a successful business owner who starts doing good things for others before taking a wrong turn, and an 18-year-old schoolboy who falls for his friend’s girlfriend. Each story takes you on a journey of human nature and the consequences of our actions. Tragedy, dishonesty, and back-stabbing await in this compelling collection set against the backdrop of South and Central Africa.

Book Description
"Think of this collection as a literary grab-bag...chances are there's at least one story you'll like/love/enjoy, others which will amuse you, still others which might disturb, and perhaps one or so which you probably won't like. While the bulk of my fictional output over the years has been roughly divided between horror/dark fantasy, science fiction and erotica (of various types), a few pieces have either slipped through the genre cracks, or simply didn't make it into my other collections, either due to content, length, or availability at the time I was assembling those other collections. I've done a couple of western stories, and some undefined things which cover multiple genres, and some poetry which didn't fit in my other collections either -- there's even a short non-fiction piece about my beloved, late cat Bruiser (the same cat featured in my novel The Amulet), as well as a chapter from an outlined but never written Ewerton novel." -- A.R. Morlan, from the Introduction

Book Description
Call it a collection of stories or a compilation of human emotions, this is the second solo book of Ms Rimli Bhattacharya. The author calls herself a bohemian and travels around the globe in a caravan which is driven by rape, lust, lies, forbidden love, mental illness, homicide and death. This book had been crafted sitting in that caravan lost in myriad textures and flavours, with those mental demons screaming her to stop. She did not listen. The book which unleashes the dark domain of human mind makes it a compelling read.

Book Description
In William Howitt's 'Luke Barnicott, and Other Stories', readers are transported to the early 19th century England to explore tales of village life and the struggles of common folk. Through his vivid and descriptive writing style, Howitt brings to life the rustic countryside and the characters who inhabit it, shedding light on the societal issues of the time. The stories in this collection are a mix of heartwarming and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the human experience during a tumultuous period in history. Howitt's use of dialogue and detailed settings adds depth to each narrative, immersing readers in the world he has created. Howitt's personal experiences growing up in rural England undoubtedly influenced the content of this book, as he draws from his own observations and reflections to craft authentic and relatable stories. His keen eye for human nature and his ability to capture the essence of village life make 'Luke Barnicott, and Other Stories' a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction and social commentary. This collection of tales is a delightful and enlightening read that will leave a lasting impact on its audience.

Book Description
In 1898, The Strand Magazine, one of the most influential publications of the Victorian fin de siècle, deemed best-selling author and editor L.T. Meade a literary “celebrity” and “one of the most industrious writers of modern fiction.” Beginning in 1893 and continuing into the first decade of the twentieth century, Meade’s medical mysteries and thrilling tales of dangerous criminal women appeared in The Strand. There they competed successfully not only with Arthur Conan Doyle’s Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but also with the works of the most popular writers of the day. The Sorceress of the Strand is one of Meade’s most compelling mysteries, and the first to feature the seductive criminal genius Madame Sara. The Sorceress of the Strand is accompanied in this edition by three other popular stories featuring powerful female criminal protagonists, from gang leaders to spies and terrorists. The historical appendices expand on the stories’ themes of criminality, gender, and political activism. Twenty-eight of the original periodical illustrations are included.
