The Shrieking Pit (Classic Reprint) by Arthur J. Rees Pdf
Excerpt from The Shrieking Pit As the scenes of this story are laid in a part of Nor folk which will be readily identified by many Norfolk people, it is perhaps well to state that all the personages are fictitious, and that the Norfolk police officials who appear in the book have no existence outside these pages. They and the other characters are drawn entirely from imagination. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Shrieking Pit by Arthur J. Rees When archaeologist Roger Glenthorpe is found murdered in a remote seaside inn on the Norfolk coast, it seems to the local police to be an open and shut case. The only question is whether the shell shocked soldier that is arrested will be found guilty or judged insane due to furor epilepticus. But when private detective Grant Colwyn is called in to investigate he finds more than one reason to think the young man is innocent. But who then did commit murder? The cash strapped innkeeper? The innkeeper's mother who is confined to her room because she is given to violent outbursts? The innkeeper's beautiful daughter? What role does the spectral White Lady play? Does her appearance really presage death? And what is the source of the hideous shrieking that comes from the prehistoric flint pit where the body was found?

The famous "weird menace" pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s are among the rarest and most sought-after publications by collectors. The "Spicy" magazines -- which included Spicy Mystery, Spicy Adventure, Spicy Detective, and others -- published a titilating mix of fantasy, horror, mystery, and suspense, punctuated by episodes of torture, sadism, sex, and other risque elements. Although tame by current standards, and sometimes of dubious literary merit, these publications presented tales which thrilled a sensation-hungry audience. Despite the themes and constraints of the market, writers who would later become famous -- including Hugh B. Cave, E. Hoffman Price, Robert Leslie Bellem, and many more -- were frequent contributors. The August 1935 issue of Spice Mystery Stories includes contributions from Robert Leslie Bellem, Atwater Culpepper, Ellery Watson Calder, Carl Moore, E. Hoffman Price, Jerome Severs Perry, Don King, Charles R. Allen, Charles A. Baker, Jr., and Arthur Wallace.

The 'Christmas Classics Collection' elegantly bridges the expansive world of Christmas lore, encapsulating an extraordinary range of literary styles—from the poetic to the fantastical, the earnest to the whimsical. This anthology underscores the multifaceted nature of the holiday season through its assembly of stories, poems, and novellas that mirror the diverse cultural and historical influences shaping the Christmas tradition. Standout pieces harmonize the sentimental with the narrative of social conscience, artfully woven by a constellation of luminaries in literature. The selection magnificently traverses the spectrum of human emotion, reflecting on themes of hope, generosity, redemption, and the immutable wonder of Christmas. The contributing authors and editors, ranging from the romantic and Victorian to the pioneers of children's literature, collectively chart the evolution of Christmas storytelling over centuries. Their backgrounds offer a rich tapestry of the global and temporal shifts in the celebration and perception of the holiday. From Dickens' transformative tales that encapsulated the spirit of Victorian Christmas to Andersen's and the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales that have fed the imaginations of generations, the collection draws from the wellspring of literary movements influenced by romanticism, transcendentalism, and the quest for meaning in an industrial age. Furthermore, authors like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky infuse the compilation with profound philosophical and ethical inquiries typical of Russian literature, further broadening the thematic and cultural scope of the anthology. The 'Christmas Classics Collection' invites readers on a literary journey that transcends the typical confines of holiday literature. It presents a unique opportunity to explore the breadth and depth of Christmas as seen through the eyes of some of the most distinguished names in literature. This anthology is not just a celebration of Christmas but a scholarly curation that fosters a deep appreciation for the historical and cultural contexts from which these stories spring.
