Pages : 418
Book Description
Here in this third complete-in-itself novel of the Incarnations of Immortality, Piers Anthony weaves a fascinating plot as tangled as any skein of fate. This is Anthony at his most ingenious, with another gripping fantasy of the struggle of the incarnations against the machinations of Satan. When the man Niobe loved was shot, she learned that she had been the target, in a devious plot of the Devil's. Hoping for revenge. Niobe accepted a position as one of the three Aspects of Fate, only to find that Satan's plots were tangled into the very Tapestry of Fate. Now the Evil One was laying a trap to ruin Niobe's granddaughter Luna, who threatened his plans—and he had tricked her son into Hell. Niobe's only chance to save her son and Luna was to accept a challenge by the Prince of Deceit—a challenge to be decided in Hell and in a maze of Satan's devising!

Pages : 258
Book Description
In The Tangled Skein, Baroness Orczy does not depict Queen Mary as darkly as she is usually depicted. Indeed, Mary is portrayed as a woman who is so passionately loving, lovable, and always swayed by justice. The skein is tangled due to Mary's rumored love for Robert d'Esclade, fifth Duke of Wessex, whom the people of England want to be King Consort. He is the embodiment of all chivalry and every virtue dear to an Englishman's heart. So far, he is fancy-free but other than deep respect for and loyalty to his Queen, he has no other feelings, and the idea of marrying her for political reasons repulses him. He is also half-betrothed, but not legally, to Lady Ursula Glynde, whom he hasn't seen since she was a baby. Wessex is repulsed by the prospect of having his wife thrust upon him in any way, and he avoids the girl on purpose, aided and abetted by the Queen, who tries jealousy to keep him from succumbing to Ursula's undoubted fascinations. When you add the powerful Cardinal Moreno and Phillip II of Spain to the mix, the skein becomes even more tangled.

Book Description
“H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.”—Stephen King Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored–but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror. The Horror in the Museum: Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing. The Electric Executioner: Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman. The Trap: This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection. The Ghost-Eater: In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance. And twenty more stories of unspeakable evil! “Lovecraft’s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.”—Clive Barker
