Moonlight & Vines by Charles de Lint Pdf

Familiar to Charles de Lint's ever-growing audience as the setting of the novels Memory & Dream, Trader, and Someplace To Be Flying, Newford is the quintessential North American city, tough and streetwise on the surface and rich with hidden magic for those who can see. Now de Lint returns to this extraordinary city for a third volume of short stories set there, including several never before published in book form. Here is enchantment under a streetlamp: the landscape of urban North America as only Charles de Lint can show it. "Blending Lovecraft's imagery, Dunsany's poetry, Carroll's surrealism, and Alice Hoffman's small-town strangeness," wrote Interzone on Dreams Underfoot, de Lint's Newford tales are "a haunting mixture of human warmth and cold inevitability, of lessons learned and prices to be paid." At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Haunted Inheritance: A Haunted short Story by Rick Anthony Pdf

In the quaint town of Everwick, nestled atop a hill and veiled by ancient woods, stands the imposing Wraithwood Manor. Its tall spires and gothic arches are more than just architectural marvels; they are silent witnesses to centuries of history, tales of love and loss, secrets and discoveries, and bonds that transcend time. To the townsfolk, the manor is an enigma, shrouded in mystery and legends. Whispers of ghostly apparitions, long-lost treasures, and ethereal melodies that float with the wind have kept many a child awake with a mix of fear and fascination. Yet, for all its mystique, the heart of Wraithwood's story is one of family — a lineage that has weathered storms both real and metaphorical, binding generations of Wraithwoods to the manor and to each other. As we journey through the grand hallways and hidden chambers of this timeless estate, we encounter Eleanor, a young heiress rediscovering her roots; Elara, a spiritual medium with an uncanny connection to the manor's ethereal residents; and Thomas, a scholar determined to chronicle the manor's vast history. Together, this trio unveils the layers of Wraithwood, navigating its joys and challenges, and forever altering its legacy. In " Haunted Inheritance," every shadow holds a tale, every whisper an echo from the past, inviting readers to step into a world where the line between the living and the spectral is delicately blurred. Join us as we traverse through time, uncovering the tales that make Wraithwood Manor the enigmatic wonder that it is. Dive deep, dear reader, and let the story of Wraithwood enthrall and enchant you.

Here Be Dragons by Stefan Ekman,Stefar Ekman Pdf

First in-depth study of the use of landscape in fantasy literature Winner of the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Myth and Fantasy Studies (2016) Fantasy worlds are never mere backdrops. They are an integral part of the work, and refuse to remain separate from other elements. These worlds combine landscape with narrative logic by incorporating alternative rules about cause and effect or physical transformation. They become actors in the drama—interacting with the characters, offering assistance or hindrance, and making ethical demands. In Here Be Dragons, Stefan Ekman provides a wide-ranging survey of the ubiquitous fantasy map as the point of departure for an in-depth discussion of what such maps can tell us about what is important in the fictional worlds and the stories that take place there. With particular focus on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Ekman shows how fantasy settings deserve serious attention from both readers and critics. Includes insightful readings of works by Steven Brust, Garth Nix, Robert Holdstock, Terry Pratchett, Charles de Lint, China Miéville, Patricia McKillip, Tim Powers, Lisa Goldstein, Steven R. Donaldson, Robert Jordan, and Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess.

Circle of Vines by Richard Figiel Pdf

Winegrower and journalist Richard Figiel offers the first comprehensive history of New York wine, following its turbulent evolution across the state and emerging as a dynamic player in the world of fine wine. He begins by examining New York's distinctive viticultural roots and the geologic forces that shaped the state's terrain for winegrowing. Starting with early efforts to grow grapes for wine in the Hudson Valley, the story moves west to the Finger Lakes and Lake Erie, circles around the state from Long Island to the North Country, and, finally, to contemporary New York City. Through industry booms and busts, he explores the New York wine industry's continuing process of reinvention by resourceful immigrants, family dynasties, giant corporations, and back-to-the-land dreamers. Moving across centuries of winemaking, Figiel unfolds an extraordinary array of grape species, varieties, and wines.

Flowering Vines by Brooklyn Botanic Garden Pdf

Climbers were among the first cultivated plants. Egyptian wall paintings (circa 1400 B.C.) show slaves harvesting fruit from vine-covered pergolas. Here, four authors offer instructions on having vines in gardens (growing them on a variety of structures such as arbors, pergolas, fences, and walls and using them to provide food and shelter for birds), and on planting and caring for them. There are separate chapters on growing clematis and climbing roses. There is also an encyclopedia of 44 flowering vines. Each entry includes data on the plant's native habitat, hardiness zones, garden uses, and cultivars and related species, along with detailed growing instructions. This latest paperback in the Botanic Garden's informative 21st-Century Gardening Series contains many full-color illustrations and photographs. - George Cohen; 112p-

Armitage's Vines and Climbers by Allan M. Armitage Pdf

“Climbing plants are hugely underrated—this book with its lively expression of deep knowledge should encourage everyone to grow more of them.” —Noël Kingsbury Climbing plants constitute a huge, and largely untapped, resource for today’s gardeners. Because their habit of growth is primarily vertical, they can be used for utilitarian as well as ornamental purposes like providing privacy, or screening eyesores. In this comprehensive reference, renowned horticulturist Allan Armitage selects and profiles the most useful and attractive climbing plants for a wide range of sites and conditions, from well-known favourites like clematis, morning glories, and wisteria to more unusual plants like Dutchman’s pipe, passion flowers, and the tropical mandevillas. Each profile includes a general description (enlivened by Armitage’s trademark wry humour) along with the plant’s hardiness, plant family, best method of propagation, method of climbing, and etymology of botanical and common names.“Climbing plants are hugely underrated—this book with its lively expression of deep knowledge should encourage everyone to grow more of them.” —Noël Kingsbury
