The grave: where no one wants to be, but everyone will go. Or will they? And then stay put? There's the rub! Restless spirits abound here, from those who cannot go to their rest, to those who will not--and a motley assortment of those who, knowingly or not, go about disturbing them in diverse ways. And even some poor souls who didn't even know they were scheduled for departure. Oh, there's no one crankier than someone rudely awakened on the wrong side of the dirt! Come along, brave heart, as we venture abroad in good company of authors both familiar and obscure, exhuming Gothic tales, pulp fiction and more. We'll all be right here with you, m'dear . . . in spirit . . .

THE DAYS OF HEAVEN The days of heaven are peaceful days, Still as yon glassy sea; So calm, so still in God, our days, As the days of heaven would be. The days of heaven are holy days, From sin forever free Two little words are found in the Greek version here. They are translated "_ton kairon_" in the revised version, "Buying up for yourselves the opportunity." The two words _ton kairon_ mean, literally, the opportunity. They do not refer to time in general, but to a special point of time, a juncture, a crisis, a moment full of possibilities and quickly passing by, which we must seize and make the best of before it has passed away.

Rebirth. Lies. Murders. Hain wakes up when something breaths down his neck. All he sees is darkness and all he hears is his own beating heart. Not even chirping birds fill the silence left behind in this godforsaken land put into eternal sleep. The land of the Emniths is trapped in the past and long forgotten by the deities and the humans alike. It is home to humans who looked like the ones in Fayr once but turned dark and sinister after years in the night. Their hearts blackened and their souls full of desire and lust for the forbidden. When Hain is about to approach the dwellers of the night, he finds himself being dragged away by someone who tells him to run into the forest and never look back. But why should Hain trust a stranger who appeared as stealthy as air and forced him to hide?

AMBROSE BIERCE - The City of the Goneaway - and 67 other stories of the supernatural and the weird. Before he trailed off into the wilds of Mexico, never to be heard from again, Ambrose Bierce achieved a public persona as ""bitter Bierce"" and ""the devil's lexicographer."" He left behind a nasty reputation and more than ninety short stories that are perfect expressions of his sardonic genius. The stories in this volume represent an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature. In their iconoclasm and needle-sharp irony, their formal and thematic ingenuity and element of surprise, they differ markedly from the fiction admired in Bierce's time.

Ambrose Bierce was born in 1842 and mysteriously disappeared in 1914. During his lifetime, he was a controversial and prolific writer, and there is growing interest in his works. As a Union soldier during the Civil War, he witnessed bloodshed and the atrocities of battle. After the war, he began a career as a journalist in San Francisco, where many of his newspaper columns were filled with venom and daring. In addition, he wrote war stories and tales of the supernatural, along with an assortment of poems. Today, he is probably best remembered as the author of The Devil's Dictionary, originally published as The Cynic's Dictionary in 1906. This reference is a guide to his life and writings. An opening essay overviews Bierce's contribution to literature and journalism, and a chronology summarizes the most important events in his life. The bulk of the Companion comprises alphabetically arranged entries on Bierce's major works and characters and on historical persons and writers who figured prominently in his life and career. Thus the volume provides coverage of Bierce's contemporaries, many of whom he satirized in his scathing newspaper columns. Many of the entries list works for further reading, and the book closes with a selected, general bibliography. Because of Bierce's concern with so many issues of his day, the volume offers a valuable perspective on American culture during the time in which he lived.

From the internationally bestselling and beloved author of the critically acclaimed Boy Swallows Universe, a mesmerizing, uplifting novel of adventure and unlikely friendships in World War II Australia—calling to mind The Wizard of Oz as directed by Baz Luhrmann. Darwin, 1942. As Japanese bombs rain down on her hometown, newly orphaned Molly Hook looks to the skies and runs for her life. Inside a duffel bag, she carries a stone heart and a map that will lead her to Longcoat Bob, the deep-country sorcerer whom she believes cursed her family. Accompanying her are the most unlikely traveling companions: Greta, a razor-tongued actress, and Yukio, a Japanese fighter pilot who’s abandoned his post. With messages from the skies above to guide them towards treasure, but foes close on their trail, the trio will encounter the beauty and vastness of the Northern Territory and survive in ways they never thought possible. A story about the gifts that fall from the sky, curses we dig from the earth, and secrets we bury inside ourselves, Trent Dalton’s brilliantly imagined novel is an odyssey of true love and grave danger, of darkness and light, of bones and blue heavens. It is a love letter to Australia and an ode to the art of looking up—a buoyant and magical tale, filled to the brim with warmth, wit, and wonder.

DRUMMER BOY ON THE RUN is a story centered around the life of young James Beverley. His legendary 2nd Florida Regiment, a part of Lee’s Army, has just given up at Appomattox. For the Rebel soldiers, though, everything begins and ends with pride in their land. In James’ long march home, he meets Sally Stanard, a displaced nurse from Virginia. “Pappy” Tuttle is an aged soldier likewise now trying to find his place in a devastated South. They, along with James’ younger brother Henry, unwittingly become part of an elaborate scheme to hide Richmond’s gold and silver. To this day, uncertainty remains about the treasure’s final whereabouts as it crossed into Florida in May of 1865. Can the group outfox Union search parties, bandits, spies, and Confederate double-crossers? If so, they will become part of arguably the greatest wagon train exploit ever. Mesmerized as a child by elder’s stories of the Civil War, award-winning author and fifth-generation Floridian Erwin Wunderlich pens yet another novel about this tragic conflict. Authentic locales and settings, and relentless action and suspense, set the stage for treasure and treachery in his new thriller!
