Tales from the Pour House Cafe by Larry H. Dunlap Pdf

The wackiest characters this side of Mayberry stumble through misadventures with Southern wit and audacity. Leonard, Elvis, and Jelly, the main characters, find themselves in one catastrophe after another; a holdup, a pickle eating contest, a giant snake and the capture of a Chinese troll as well as the ordinary problems of life. The stories are told by the Preacher who is the narrator. Kind hearts and good intentions clash with reality and mess-ups in this zany glimpse of rural america as it was and still is in a place called The Pour House Cafe in Maple Hill, Tennessee. "This book is to entertainment what cornbread is to black-eyed peas." Elvis Wilbanks

Derrick Steel was three years old when his mother moved him and his two sisters away from rural northeast Mississippi to live in St. Louis. Now twelve years later, fi fteen-year-old Derrick learns that his father, Luke Steel has become a legendary taxidermist in Mississippi because of his more unconventional specimens: a huge Hereford bull that now stands beside a prominent steak house, a pit bulldog who won more than forty-one illegal fi ghts before being shot by the local sheriff , and a wrestling bear whose fi nal match almost caused a second civil war in the county. But Derrick also discovers that his father has now been placed in a mental institution. Why had Luke Steel not contacted his son? And why was he now in a mental institution? Derricks answers can only be solved by returning to the place of his birth. And since his initial link to his father is an aunt who is deaf, Derrick must fi rst learn to communicate in American Sign Language.

Percival Christopher Wren (1875-1941) was an English writer, mostly of adventure fiction. His novels and short stories mostly deal with colonial soldiering in Africa.

The Great God Pan and Other Horror Stories by Arthur Machen Pdf

Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle... Perhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers. Machen's 'weird fiction' has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today. This new collection, which includes the complete novel The Three Impostors as well as such celebrated tales as The Great God Pan and The White People, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen's weird vision. The edition's introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.
