Book Description
3 complete short ghost & horror stories about tormented souls unable to rest after death TORMENTED is a series of eerie ghost & horror stories for people who love the more traditional approach to the genre, where an ominous atmosphere, supernatural fantasy elements, and intriguing (back)story play a big part in creating the nightmarish effect of the stories In each story, one or more haunted souls, living or dead, find themselves in a tormenting and twisted situation from which they cannot easily escape... if at all. Sometimes, their dark tales have a (relatively) happy end where peace or at least acceptance is found. At other times, a more macabre end foretells more suffering to come. Each chilling story is complete, standalone, and sure to leave you with an eerie feeling. This bundle contains the FIRST THREE stories in the series for you to try. #1 | The Forgotten Girl Chihiro returns to the castle that was once her home. High on the walls, the Daimo's men stand guard, but they mustn't see her! Entering the castle through a secret passageway the young woman follows a path of tears and blood while she looks for redemption. #2 | The Third Hour Ann prepares to hunt for a beast and cut out its heart, which she needs to keep herself and her family safe. She has only her pistol, knife, and sharp wits to keep her alive—and she'll need 'em all! But the bloodthirsty beasts that roam the street aren't the only threat out there. She has to watch the hour and make haste, or else... #3| The Waiting When Mira wakes up, she finds herself in a strange and terrifying place. Is this a dream? A voice coming from the shadows tells her it's not. Mira has no idea how to get back home. All she can do for now is try and stay ahead of the nightmarish people who live in the house—and all desperately want her name. --- Half-hour Ghost & Horror stories are the perfect format for a quick break at work, a boring wait at the dentist’s office, your commute, or just whenever you want to forget your worries and enjoy a creepy story. --- BJORN J. P. PEETERS is the author of several Comedy, Fantasy, Adventure, & Horror series, with some of the biggest being: 'The Fraternity & Sorority Wars', 'Man's Funny Book', 'Keep Your Millions, Daddy!', 'Ictiluni', and 'Infinitus Memorias'.

Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0345541138
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1335
Book Description
The epic saga that inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones made George R. R. Martin an international phenomenon, but there’s much more to this versatile, prolific, and original author. In addition to the book that kicks off A Song of Ice of Fire, this eBook bundle includes Dreamsongs: Volume I, which showcases Martin’s early writings; Fevre Dream, the acclaimed author’s reinvention of the vampire novel; and The Armageddon Rag, a thrilling story of psychedelic—and apocalyptic—rock. Spanning genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and suspense, Martin’s virtuosic talents will surprise and delight even his most devoted fans. A GAME OF THRONES “The only fantasy series I’d put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings . . . It’s a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don’t read fantasy.”—Chicago Tribune In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. As sinister forces mass beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall, the king’s powers are failing—his most trusted adviser is dead and his enemies are emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the king’s new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but the kingdom itself. DREAMSONGS: VOLUME I “The ideal way to discover . . . a master of science fiction, fantasy and horror. . . . Martin is a writer like no other.”—The Guardian (U.K.) Gathered here are the very best of Martin’s early works, including his Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker award–winning stories, cool fan pieces, and the original novella The Ice Dragon, from which his New York Times bestselling children’s book of the same title originated. With extensive author commentary, Dreamsongs: Volume I is a rare treat, offering fascinating insights into Martin’s journey from young writer to award-winning master. FEVRE DREAM “An adventure into the heart of darkness that transcends even the most inventive vampire novels.”—Los Angeles Herald Examiner Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream. THE ARMAGEDDON RAG “The best novel concerning the American pop music culture of the sixties I’ve ever read.”—Stephen King Onetime underground journalist Sandy Blair has come a long way from his radical roots in the sixties—until he’s drawn back by the bizarre and brutal murder of a rock promoter who made millions with a band called the Nazgûl. As Sandy investigates the crime, he finds himself drawn back into his own past. For a new messiah has resurrected the Nazgûl along with a requiem of demonism, mind control, and death, whose apocalyptic tune only Sandy may be able to change.

Voltaire's Tormented Soul
Author: Alexander J. Nemeth
Publisher: Associated University Presse
ISBN: 9780934223928
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
"The findings, in essence, reveal a person of dual identity, with unconscious forces playing a prominent role and holding the key to Voltaire's paradoxical character. His conscious, rational, and cognitively astute self - the standard-bearer of the philosophes in their epochal struggle for freedom - was also responsible for sealing off the subconscious portion of the self associated with traumatic experiences. The elaborate characterological structure erected to ward off consciously unacceptable impulses and, simultaneously, to obtain satisfaction of frustrated needs, is the subject of this study. The price he had to pay for the drastic disconnect between the two selves was formidable. In this volume, much attention is devoted to the unconventional ways and phantasmal stratagems adopted for dealing with the internal pressure of repressed impulses and a perpetual quest for affectional support. Some of these maneuvers show tenuous contact with social reality, as do his bizarre psychosomatic symptoms and bold rationalizations in the Memoirs." "Fortunately for the Western world, Voltaire's prodigious mind was put to use in rattling the cage of the intolerant and rigidly backward theocratic/political system. Due to his immense popularity as a playwright, and his agile participation in current events through a flood of pamphlets, leaflets, and occasional pieces, together with the gigantic volume and engaging style of his correspondence, the name Voltaire became synonymous with the Age of Enlightenment. The dual identity did not interfere with his effectiveness as a humanist. In fact, there is reason to believe that the energy invested in fighting l'infame, the oppressive authority of Church and State, was augmented by a dynamic driving force of the hidden self: the never verbalized and consciously never processed bitter resentment of paternal coercion. Principles and methods of depth psychology, as applied in the study, are elucidated and illustrated."--Jacket.
