In Kropsberk Keep and Other Stories by Ralph Adams Cram is about old Peter Rosskopf looking after two young men who are studying painting in the haunted castle Brixleg.

Luckily for her, war veteran Jim, christened James, happens to be passing by her window as she prays fervently to God for help. Excerpt: "There is always something doing in the Hills. Amid the Hills, the human heart beats stronger and the mind is more alert. Though they seem to brood, to doze, they are nonetheless awake to all that matters. From every peak and shoulder there is to be seen another view, and, to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, there is much more to be noted than can be imagined."

The Devil's Mistress by J W Brodie Innes Pdf

The Devil's Mistress by J.W. Brodie-Innes is about young Isabelle Goudie married to boring old John Gilbert. Isabelle attempts to find love, excitement, and meaning in her life. Excerpt: "IF the story which follows were to be regarded as a work of imagination, it might justly be characterized as too wildly fanciful to deserve even serious consideration. But it is not this: it is an attempt to portray exactly one of the most curious phases of belief or superstition that ever passed over this country, the witchcraft, namely, of the latter part of the seventeenth century."

The Young Runaway by Zane Grey Pdf

The Young Runaway is a western adventure story by Zane Grey. Excerpt: "Andrew strode into the hotel, somehow glad that she had had the grace to blush. Caught with the goods, he thought scornfully! She had picked up this country bumpkin on the road and had ended a short or long, probably long, ride by driving his car, no doubt to allow him freer use of his arms. It made Andrew slightly sick, because that queer streak of chivalry in him had almost won a battle in her behalf. He wished she would appear in the dining room before he left. He wanted just one more look at her."
