    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI The House on the Borderland begins with two men on a two-week fishing vacation in remote western Ireland who discover a strange abyss and just above this pit, they find a journal buried in ruins. The journal was written by a homebound recluse who encounters otherworldly creatures and parallel dimensions in this supernatural horror by fantasist British William Hope Hodgson. Monsters and giant gods initially inhabit the parallel universe that opens to the narrator. But soon his real world is no less frightening as pig-like creatures erupt from the ground and soon the recluse encounters an evil even more awful and merciless than anything that one could fight or kill.

    Description Original: DO NOT US AS IS RUN THRU AI Laura is a teenager isolated in a castle deep in a forest in Austria living a solitary life with only her father and a tutor. One night, a carriage accident outside the castle brings a young woman, Carmilla unexpectedly into their home. A welcome friendship between the two women soon devolves into something strange and volatile. Steeped in sexual tension, reminiscent of a Gothic romance, Sheridan Le Fan s depiction of a vampire preying upon a love interest pre-dates Dracula and quickly became a cult classic. While the novella never clearly states the lesbian nature of the relationship, it is subtly conveyed and thus this classic horror foretells the genre of lesbian vampire fiction to come.

    Description Original: DO NOT US AS IS RUN THRU AI One of the most original and chilling works of supernatural horror fiction, the King in Yellow has been lauded by masters of the genre including H.P. Lovecraft. Set in an America of the not-too-distant future, in a totalitarian society, a young man has suffered a severe head injury and is committed to an asylum. There he finds a play that is rumored to have the power to drive readers mad. That play is the King in Yellow. This collection of stories endures as one of the most popular horror novels ever written, praised by readers and cited as a major influence among significant American writers. The King in Yellow found a new resurgence after the first season of the HBO series True Detective featured a diary of a victim of a serial murderer which quotes at length from the story.

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS – RUN THRU AI The Trial by Franz Kafka is a terrifying story about a respected banker named Josef K. who is suddenly arrested without explanation and forced to defend himself against unspecified charges. He is prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Heavily influenced by Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, the novel deals with the absurdity of the justice system in a totalitarian world and the inhumanity of the modern world. This Kafka classic is at once humorous and frightening as the reader is left to wonder is this merely an existential parable or a prophecy of modern bureaucracy in totalitarian times.

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS – RUN THRU AI The Wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human- like characteristics, which possesses human beings. The wendigo is known to invoke feelings of insatiable greed/hunger, the desire to cannibalize other humans, as well as the propensity to commit murder in those that fall under its influence. In Algernon Blackwood s The Wendigo, five men on a hunting trip in the Canadian wilderness come upon a terrifying evil deep withing the primeval woods. A native American cook who accompanies the party realizes that this evil has possessed one of men and realizes they have encountered the Wendigo. For sheer naked concentrated horror, unexplained and unexplainable, such tales as The Wendigo … may be said to lead among the stories of the supernatural. – Grace Isabel Colbron.

    Description Original: DO NOT USE AS IS RUN THRU AI Stephen King referred to the Great God Pan by Arthur Machen as one of the best horror stories ever written. Maybe the best in the English language. This horror classic was initially derided by critics as being too sexual and decadent. In the novel, Dr. Raymond performs an egregious mad-scientist-type brain surgery on a young woman, cutting into her brain to heighten her spiritual awareness, but things go horribly awry, and she is impregnated by dark forces and her spawn proceeds to wreak havoc on men of high society London. I have heard myself called quack, and charlatan and impostor, but all the while I knew I was on the right path. Five years ago, I reached the goal, and since then every day has been a preparation for what we shall do tonight.

    Description wiki: Bulfinchs Mythology is a collection of general audience[citation needed] works by American Latinist and banker Thomas Bulfinch, named after him and published after his death in 1867. The work was a highly successful popularization of Greek mythology for English-speaking readers. Carl J. Richard comments that it was “one of the most popular books ever published in the United States and the standard work on classical mythology for nearly a century”, until the release of classicist Edith Hamiltons 1942 Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes.

    Description Good Reads: For almost a century and a half, Bulfinchs Mythology has been the text by which the great tales of the gods and goddesses, Greek and Roman antiquity; Scandinavian, Celtic, and Oriental fables and myths; and the age of chivalry have been known. The stories are divided into three sections: The Age of Fable or Stories of Gods and Heroes (first published in 1855); The Age of Chivalry (1858), which contains King Arthur and His Knights, The Mabinogeon, and The Knights of English History; and Legends of Charlemagne or Romance of the Middle Ages (1863). For the Greek myths, Bulfinch drew on Ovid and Virgil, and for the sagas of the north, from Mallets Northern Antiquities. He provides lively versions of the myths of Zeus and Hera, Venus and Adonis, Daphne and Apollo, and their cohorts on Mount Olympus; the love story of Pygmalion and Galatea; the legends of the Trojan War and the epic wanderings of Ulysses and Aeneas; the joys of Valhalla and the furies of Thor; and the tales of Beowulf and Robin Hood. The tales are eminently readable. As Bulfinch wrote, “Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated. . . . Our book is an attempt to solve this problem, by telling the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement.” Thomas Bulfinch, in his day job, was a clerk in the Merchants Bank of Boston, an undemanding position that afforded him ample leisure time in which to pursue his other interests. In addition to serving as secretary of the Boston Society of Natural History, he thoroughly researched the myths and legends and copiously cross-referenced them with literature and art. As such, the myths are an indispensable guide to the cultural values of the nineteenth century; however, it is the vigor of the stories themselves that returns generation after generation to Bulfinch.

    Description Penquin: ABOUT BULFINCH S MYTHOLOGY A beautifully packaged and affordably priced edition of this classic, accessible guide to world mythology, unabridged and complete. Thomas Bulfinch collected and interpreted the legends of the world for everyday people, so that those who lacked extensive schooling could still understand the mythological allusions that fill classic and contemporary literature. Bulfinch s Mythology began as three separate volumes in the 1850s and 60s. Bulfinch published The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes in 1855 and then moved on to publish two more collections: The Age of Chivalry, or the Legends of King Arthur in 1858; and Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages in 1863. When Bulfinch died in 1867, the three volumes were combined and retitled Bulfinch s Mythology and reprinted in 1881. It has remained one of the most trusted English-language interpretations of Greek and Roman mythology, Arthurian legend, and medieval romance ever since.

    Description wiki: The Man in the Iron Mask (French LHomme au Masque de Fer; c.?1640/1658? 19 November 1703) was an unidentified prisoner who was arrested in 1669 or 1670 and subsequently held in a number of French prisons, including the Bastille and the Fortress of Pignerol (modern Pinerolo, Italy). Known for remaining unidentified due to the veil worn over his face throughout his time in prison, he was held in the custody of the same jailer, B nigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, for a period of 34 years. He died on 19 November 1703 under the name Marchioly, during the reign of King Louis XIV of France (1643 1715). No one is known to have seen his face, as it was hidden by a mask of black velvet cloth, later misreported by Voltaire as an iron mask, and the true identity of the prisoner remains a mystery. His identity has been extensively debated by historians, and various theories have been expounded in numerous books and films. Among the leading theories is one proposed by the writer and philosopher Voltaire, who claimed in the second edition of his Questions sur lEncyclop die (1771) that the prisoner wore a mask made of iron rather than of cloth, and that he was the older, illegitimate brother of Louis XIV. What little is known about the historical Man in the Iron Mask is based mainly on correspondence between Saint-Mars and his superiors in Paris. Recent research suggests that his name was Eustache Dauger, a man who was involved in several political scandals of the late 17th century, but this assertion has not been proven. The National Archives of France has made the original data available online relating to the inventories of the goods and papers of Saint-Mars (one inventory, of 64 pages, was drawn up at the Bastille in 1708; the other, of 68 pages, at the citadel of Sainte-Marguerite in 1691). These documents had been sought in vain for more than a century and were thought to have been lost. They were discovered in 2015, among the 100 million documents of the Minutier central des notaires de Paris [fr]] They show that some of the 800 documents in the possession of the jailer Saint-Mars were analysed after his death. These documents confirm the reputed avarice of Saint-Mars, who appears to have diverted the funds paid by the king for the prisoner. They also give a description of a cell occupied by the masked prisoner, which contained only a sleeping mat, but no luxuries, as was previously thought. The Man in the Iron Mask has also appeared in many works of fiction, most prominently in the late 1840s by Alexandre Dumas. A section of his novel The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later, the final installment of his DArtagnan saga, features the Man in the Iron Mask. In it, the prisoner is forced to wear an iron mask, and is portrayed as Louis XIVs identical twin.] Dumas also presented a review of the popular theories about the prisoner extant in his time in the chapter “Lhomme au masque de fer” in the sixth volume of his non-fiction Crimes C l bres

    Description Good Reads: In the concluding installment of Alexandre Dumass celebrated cycle of the Three Musketeers, DArtagnan remains in the service of the corrupt King Louis XIV after the Three Musketeers have retired and gone their separate ways.

When the destinies of the king and Phillippe converge, the Three Musketeers and DArtagnan find themselves caught between conflicting loyalties.

    Description wiki: Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women is a fantasy novel by Scottish writer George MacDonald, first published in London in 1858. It was later reprinted in paperback by Ballantine Books as the fourteenth volume of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in April 1970. The story centres on the character Anodos (“pathless”, or “ascent” in Greek) and takes its inspiration from German Romanticism, particularly Novalis. The story concerns a young man who is pulled into a dreamlike world and there hunts for his ideal of female beauty, embodied by the “Marble Lady”. Anodos lives through many adventures and temptations while in the other world, until he is finally ready to give up his ideals. The edition published in 1905 was illustrated by Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes. C.S. Lewis wrote, concerning his first reading of Phantastes at age sixteen, “That night my imagination was, in a certain sense, baptized; the rest of me[,] not unnaturally, took longer. I had not the faintest notion what I had let myself in for by buying Phantastes.”

    Description Good Reads: The classic fantasy that influenced C. S. Lewis and Tolkien, considered one of George MacDonald s most important works, is the story of the young man, Anodos, and his adventures in fairyland which ultimately reveal the human condition. I write, not for children, wrote George MacDonald, but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five. All-at-once written with an innocent whimsy and soulful yearning, the heart of Anodos journey through fairyland reveals a spiritual quest that requires a surrender of the self. MacDonald s fantasy novel as well as his other works have had major influence on many authors who considered him their mentor: C. S. Lewis said, I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him. J. R. R. Tolkien called his fairy tales stories of power and beauty. Madeleine L Engle said, Surely, George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy.

    Description Good Reads: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: … very anxiously examined their muskets and bayonets; cannon were wheeled into more compact batteries; more ammunition was gathered at convenient points. On all faces I saw expectation. I thought at first that some night skirmish was intended, but the bustle and the hurrying extended too much for that. I set about more thorough explorations, and it was easy enough to gather that Burgoyne intended to risk all in a pitched battle on the morrow. These were the preparations for it. Curiosity had taken away from me, for the moment, the desire to go back to my own people, but now it returned with double force. It was not likely that my warning of the coming battle could be of much value, for our forces were vigilant; but I had the natural desire of youth t(c) be with our own army, and not with that of the enemy, at the coming of such a great event. But the chance for my return looked very doubtful. Both armies were too busy to pay heed to a flag of truce even if it could be seen in the night. I wandered about looking for some means of escape to our own lines, and in seeking to reach the other side of the camp passed once more through the space in which the women and children lay. I saw a little one-roomed house, abandoned long since by its owners. The uncertain light from the window fought with the shadows outside. I stepped to the window, which was open, and looked in. They had turned the place into a hospital. A doctor with sharp instruments in his hand was at work. A woman with strong white arms, bare almost to the shoulder, was helping him. She turned away presently, her help not needed just then, and saw my face at the window. “Dick,” she said in a tone low, but not too low to express surprise, “why havent you returned to the army?.”

    Description Good Reads: Erec and Enide tells the story of Erec, a knight at King Arthurs court, whose retirement to domestic bliss with his beautiful new wife Enide takes him away from his chivalric duties. To regain his knightly honor, Erec sets out with Enide on a series of amazing adventures. Eric dispatches thieves and giants with prodigious strength and valor but treats his wife rather harshly for doubting his abilities. When Enide is kidnapped by a robber baron, Erec revives from near-death to perform a courageous rescue, and at length the two are reconciled. (

    Description Penquin: Fantastic adventures abound in these courtly romances: Erec and Enide, Clig s, The Knight of the Cart, The Knight with the Lion, and The Story of the Grail.

    Additional Research: amazon – Chretien de Troyes was a French poet in the late 12th century whose work represents some of the best examples of Arthurian legend from medieval times.

    Description wiki: Le Morte dArthur (originally spelled Le Morte Darthur, ungrammatical[1] Middle French for “The Death of Arthur”) is a 15th-century Middle English prose reworking by Sir Thomas Malory of tales about the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table along with their respective folklore. In order to tell a “complete” story of Arthur from his conception to his death, Malory compiled, rearranged, interpreted and modified material from various French and English sources. Today, this is one of the best-known works of Arthurian literature. Many authors since the 19th-century revival of the legend have used Malory as their principal source. Written in prison, Le Morte dArthur was first published in 1485 at the end of the medieval English era by William Caxton, who changed its title from the original The Whole Book of King Arthur and of His Noble Knights of the Round Table (The Hoole Book of Kyng Arthur and of His Noble Knyghtes of The Rounde Table). Until the discovery of the Winchester Manuscript in 1934, the 1485 edition was considered the earliest known text of Le Morte dArthur and that closest to Malorys original version.[2] Modern editions under various titles are inevitably variable, changing spelling, grammar and pronouns for the convenience of readers of modern English, as well as sometimes abridging or revising the material.

    Description Good Reads: This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

    Description wiki: The Song of Roland (French: La Chanson de Roland) is an 11th-century epic poem (chanson de geste) based on Roland and the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778, during the reign of Charlemagne. It is the oldest surviving major work of French literature and exists in various manuscript versions, which testify to its enormous and enduring popularity from the 12th to 16th centuries. The date of composition is put in the period between 1040 and 1115: an early version beginning around 1040 with additions and alterations made up until about 1115. The final text has about 4,000 lines of poetry. The epic poem is the first[1] and, along with The Poem of the Cid, one of the most outstanding examples of the chanson de geste, a literary form that flourished between the 11th and 16th centuries and celebrated legendary deeds.

    Description Good Reads: On 15 August 778, Charlemagne s army was returning from a successful expedition against Saracen Spain when its rearguard was ambushed in a remote Pyrenean pass. Out of this skirmish arose a stirring tale of war, which was recorded in the oldest extant epic poem in French. The Song of Roland, written by an unknown poet, tells of Charlemagne s warrior nephew, Lord of the Breton Marches, who valiantly leads his men into battle against the Saracens, but dies in the massacre, defiant to the end. In majestic verses, the battle becomes a symbolic struggle between Christianity and Islam, while Roland s last stand is the ultimate expression of honour and feudal values of twelfth-century France.

    Description Penquin: One of the crowning achievements of medieval literature, The Song of Roland tells the story of the battle of Roncesvals in 778 and enters into the very soul of a gallant, brutal, and tumultuous age. At the center of this heroic epic is Roland, the supreme embodiment of the chivalric ideal who leads his men into combat and fights valiantly to the death. But Roland is just one of the superbly defined figures in the panoramic drama. The poem s vivid portrayals of Ganelon s treason, Roland s last stand, Charlemagne s campaign of vengeance, and the final act of retribution are justly famous. Equally fascinating is the sophisticated use of repetition and juxtaposition that gives this work its remarkable organic unity and time-defying dimension of vision.

    Description wiki: Beasts and Super-Beasts is a collection of short stories, written by Saki (the literary pseudonym of Hector Hugh Munro) and first published in 1914. The title parodies that of George Bernard Shaws Man and Superman. Along with The Chronicles of Clovis, Beasts and Super-Beasts is one of Sakis best-known works. It was his final collection of stories before his death in World War I, and several of its stories, in particular “The Open Window”, are reprinted frequently in anthologies. The majority of the volumes stories deal in some fashion with animals, providing the source for its title. The character of Clovis Sangrail, featured in earlier works by Saki, appears in several stories. Most of the stories appeared previously in periodicals. Stylistically, Beasts and Super-Beasts displays the simple language, cynicism and wry humor that characterize Sakis earlier literary output.

    Description Good Reads: Saki (1870 -1916), was the pen name of the British author Hector Hugh Munro, whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirised Edwardian society and culture. The name Saki is often thought to be a reference to the cupbearer in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a poem mentioned disparagingly by the eponymous character in Reginald on Christmas Presents. Saki is considered a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. His tales feature delicately drawn characters and finely judged narratives. In addition to his short stories, he also wrote several plays; a short novel, The Unbearable Bassington (1912); and two novella-length satires, the episodic The Westminster Alice and When William Came

    Description wiki: Indiscretions of Archie is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on 14 February 1921 by Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on 15 July 1921 by George H. Doran, New York.[1] The book was adapted from a series of short stories, originally serialised in the Strand in the United Kingdom between March 1920 and February 1921, and, all except one, in Cosmopolitan in the United States between May 1920 and February 1921. The stories were rewritten and reorganised to create a more flowing novel form. The novel tells the story of impoverished, embarrassment-prone Archibald “Archie” Moffam (pronounced “Moom”) and his difficult relationship with his art-collecting, hotel-owning, millionaire father-in-law Daniel Brewster, who is the father of Archies new bride Lucille. Archies attempts to ingratiate himself with Brewster only get him further into trouble. The story takes place in New York City.

    Description Good Reads: It wasnt Archies fault really. Its true he went to America and fell in love with Lucille, the daughter of a millionaire hotel proprietor and if he did marry her–well, what else was there to do? From his point of view, the whole thing was a thoroughly good egg; but Mr. Brewster, his father-in-law, thought differently, Archie had neither money nor occupation, which was distasteful in the eyes of the industrious Mr. Brewster; but the real bar was the fact that he had once adversely criticised one of his hotels. Archie does his best to heal the breach; but, being something of an ass, genus priceless, he finds it almost beyond his powers to placate “the man-eating fish” whom Providence has given him as a father-in-law.
