A Small Matter of Impending Catastrophe

"The book version of the thrilling and innovative second Skulduggery Pleasant podcast In 1962, three sorcerers converged to do battle in a hidden chamber near a disused platform in the London Underground. Prophecy foretold that the victor would hold the very fate of humanity in their hands. Since then… nothing. Now, the people who are trying to find out exactly what happened all those years ago are being murdered – there is a killer coming after them, a killer with a plan – and their only hope for survival lies with Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain. Because when the end of the world comes knocking, our first line of defence must always be sarcasm. Unstoppable, withering sarcasm."

A Horseman in the Sky

"Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was born on 24th June 1842 at Horse Cave Creek in Meigs County, Ohio. His parents were poor but they introduced him to literature at an early age, instilling in him a deep appreciation of books, the written word and the elegance of language. Growing up in Koscuisko County, Indiana poverty and religion were defining features of his childhood, and he would later describe his parents as “unwashed savages” and fanatically religious, showing him little affection but always quick to punish. He came to resent religion, and his introduction to literature appears to be their only positive effect.At age 15 Bierce left home to become a printer’s devil, mixing ink and fetching type at The Northern Indian, a small Ohio paper. Falsely accused of theft he returned to his farm and spent time sending out work in the hopes of being published.His Uncle Lucius advised he be sent to the Kentucky Military Institute. A year later he was commissioned as an Officer. As the Civil War started Bierce enlisted in the 9th Indiana Infantry Regiment. In April 1862 Bierce fought at the Battle of Shiloh, an experience which, though terrifying, became the source of several short stories. Two years later he sustained a serious head wound and was off duty for several months. He was discharged in early 1865. A later expedition to inspect military outposts across the Great Plains took him all the way to San Francisco. He remained there to become involved with publishing and editing and to marry, Mary Ellen on Christmas Day 1871. They had a child, Day, the following year. In 1872 the family moved to England for 3 years where he wrote for Fun magazine. His son, Leigh, was born, and first book, ‘The Fiend’s Delight’, was published.They returned to San Francisco and to work for a number of papers where he gained admiration for his crime reporting. In 1887 he began a column at the William Randolph Hearst’s San Francisco Examiner. Bierce’s marriage fell apart when he discovered compromising letters to his wife from a secret admirer. The following year, 1889 his son Day committed suicide, depressed by romantic rejection.In 1891 Bierce wrote and published the collection of 26 short stories which included ‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge’. Success and further works including poetry followed. Bierce with Hearst’s resources helped uncover a financial plot by a railroad to turn 130 million dollars of loans into a handout. Confronted by the railroad and asked to name his price Bierce answered “my price is $130 million dollars. If, when you are ready to pay, I happen to be out of town, you may hand it over to my friend, the Treasurer of the United States”. He now began his first foray as a fabulist, publishing ‘Fantastic Fables’ in 1899. But tragedy again struck two years later when his second son Leigh died of pneumonia relating to his alcoholism.He continued to write short stories and poetry and also published ‘The Devil’s Dictionary’. At the age of 71, in 1913 Bierce departed from Washington, D.C., for a tour of the battlefields where he had fought during the civil war. At the city of Chihuahua he wrote his last known communication, a letter to a friend. It’s closing words were “as to me, I leave here tomorrow for an unknown destination,” Ambrose Bierce then vanished without trace."

The Affair at Coulter's Notch

"Sherwood Anderson was born on 13th September 1876 in Camden, Ohio.When his father’s business failed the family was forced to move on a regular basis before finally settling in Clyde, Ohio. Anderson, one of 7 children, left school at 14 to take a number of jobs to help with the family finances. These were difficult years.He moved to Chicago in search of opportunities before joining the Army for the US-Spanish War of 1898. He then entered Wittenberg Academy in Springfield, Ohio to complete his education before moving back to Chicago to take up a writing job.In 1904 he married Cornelia Lane, her family had resources and Anderson was keen, with this family backing, to run a business.The early years of their marriage produced 3 children but a nervous breakdown in 1907 and another in 1912, despite his success as a business entrepreneur, resulted in him abandoning his family and deciding that a literary career would be best for him. A move back to Chicago resulted in a job in advertising, a divorce from Cornelia and marriage to Tennessee Mitchell. That same year his first book ‘Windy McPherson’s Son’ was released and in 1919, his most famous book, ‘Winesburg, Ohio’, a collection of short stories about life in an Ohio town was released.Anderson continued to write short stories, novels and non-fiction but his only true bestseller came with ‘Dark Laughter’. His influence on writers that followed, from Faulkner to Hemingway, was immense. He also married a further two times. Sherwood Anderson died in in Colón, Panama, on the 8th March, 1941. He was 64. An autopsy revealed that a swallowed toothpick had resulted in peritonitis.His headstone epitaph reads ‘Life, Not Death is the Great Adventure.’"

"Eugene Gladstone O’Neill was born on the 16th October, 1888, in the Barrett hotel which would later become part of Times Square. During the painful childbirth his mother was administered morphine and subsequently became addicted to it for several years.In his youth O’Neill was sent away to the Catholic boarding school St. Aloysius Academy for Boys in the Riverdale area of the Bronx. Here he found solace in books from the realities of both the tough schooling and distant parents. Although an unexceptional student he went on to study at Princeton University, though only for a year. Leaving without qualifications, O’Neill went to sea for several years. Here he found himself turning frequently to alcohol to cope with the conditions at sea which led to alcoholism, and, in turn, depression. He did though develop a deep love for the sea and its people despite everything and it became a major theme throughout his writing career.O’Neill married for the first time in 1909. However, it only lasted 3 years and in 1912-13 he spent time recovering from tuberculosis at a sanatorium. After a long period of recuperation, he decided to enrol at Harvard University, but again left after only a year. In 1914 O’Neill’s first play, the one-act ‘Bound East For Cardiff’, was performed at a small theatre in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It was obvious to everyone that O’Neill was prodigiously talented and several of his plays would now progress from small theatres to the fabled Broadway.By 1920, and on his second marriage, ‘Beyond The Horizon’ reached Broadway and won him a coveted Pulitzer Prize. His other play that year? ‘The Emperor Jones’ was a huge commercial success.In 1922 his Mother passed and naturally somewhat dulled the sensation of a second Pulitzer Prize, this time for his play ‘Anna Christie’. Incredibly his ideas and pen continued to generate hit plays and in 1928 he received his third Pulitzer Prize, for the play ‘Strange Interlude’. O’Neill abandoned his second wife and family in 1929 in favor of an actress from San Francisco. Shortly after they married and moved to the Loire Valley in France that same year. On the 26th October 1931, ‘Mourning Becomes Electra’ debuted at the Guild Theatre on Broadway. It retold the ‘Oresteia’ by Aeschylus. Shortly thereafter he began a lengthy period of literary inactivity.In 1936 O’Neill was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature and he now moved to California. By the 1940’s his own health was being undermined with a Parkinson’s-like trembling in his hands which rendered writing very difficult. Disenchanted he rushed to complete three more, largely autobiographical, plays, ‘The Iceman Cometh’ (1939), ‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’ (1941) and ‘A Moon for the Misbegotten’ (1943). It was a momentous period for his writing as he pushed himself to complete these great works before his hands would fail.On the 27th November 1953 O’Neill, now 65, was lying in bed in Room 401 of the Sheraton Hotel in Boston. He knew he was dying, “I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room and died in a hotel room.” Three years after his death in defiance of Eugene’s instructions that it be allowed to wait 25 years ‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’ was staged. The play won O’Neill a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in 1957, it was his fourth."

Stories About Miners And Mining

"Man has learnt to control his dominion by the use of what initially lay about him; wood and stone for shelter and building as well as resources from the plant and animal worlds over which he slowly obtained dominion. But as he organised into Nations and Empires, he needed more with which to keep the whole machine spinning. Society was growing and consuming more. But many of the richer seams of fuel and minerals lay buried underground. These riches needed exploiting, brought to the surface to be used and sold. In this volume our authors detail sharp-eyed narratives on people whose lives were connected and directed by what happened underground.1 - Stories About Mines and Mining - An Introduction2 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence3 - The Mine Cart by Ryunosuke Akutagawa4 - The Luck of Roaring Camp by Bret Harte5 - An Unexpected Reunion by Johann Hebel6 - The Mines of Falun - Part 1 by E T A Hoffman7 - The Mines of Falun - Part 2 by E T A Hoffman8 - Her Turn by D H Lawrence"

13 Unlucky Tales of Edgar Allan Poe

"Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan. He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe. His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education. His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer.Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals. At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin. She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after.In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre.Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.1 - 13 Unlucky Tales of Edgar Allan Poe - An Introduction2 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe4 - The Facts In The Case of Monsieur Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe5 - Elenora by Edgar Allan Poe6 - Ligeia by Edgar Allan Poe7 - The Cask of Amontillardo by Edgar Allan Poe8 - The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe9 - Hop Frog by Edgar Allan Poe10 - William Wilson by Edgar Allan Poe11 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe12 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe13 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe14 - The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe15 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe16 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe"

The Foundations of Fiction - Modernism

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. It’s a reality that the term ‘modernism’ was first used for stories well over a century ago. Like fine wines they have aged remarkably well. In this volume the talents of Virginia Woolf, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce are testament to the craft, imagination and literary chops these authors have brought to prose in one of its most enduring literary movements. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Modernism - An Introduction2 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield3 - Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F Scott Fitzgerald4 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf5 - The Dead by James Joyce6 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker7 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence8 - If I Were A Man by Charlotte Perkins Gilman9 - Tomorrow by Eugene O'Neill10 - Friday by Zona Gale11 - The Defense of Strikerville by Damon Runyon12 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein13 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf14 - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield15 - Eveline by James Joyce16 - His Smile by Susan Glaspell17 - A Cullenden of Virginia by Thomas Wolfe18 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald21 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf22 - Ariel's Triumph by Booth Tarkington23 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis24 - Araby by James Joyce25 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald26 - The Fly by Katherine Mansfield27 - White Bread by Zona Gale28 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield"

The Foundations of Fiction - Gothic Horror

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time?

Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The mere placing of these two words together creates a picture and a feeling that dark times are coming. Something evil, perhaps unfathomable, will be launched upon us by an author’s imagination that is sure to bring consequences that may only unsettle but equally may go much, much further than anyone, at first, imagined. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Gothic Horror - An Introduction2 - The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens4 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving5 - Olalla by Robert Louis Stevenson6 - The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin7 - The Dream by Mary Shelley8 - Green Tea by Sheridan Le Fanu9 - The Lifted Veil by George Eliot10 - Count Magnus by M R James11 - The Sand-Man by E T A Hoffman12 - The Striding Place by Gertrude Atherton13 - Thurnley Abbey by Perceval Landon14 - The Yellow Sign by Robert W Chambers15 - The Three Sisters by W W Jacobs16 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman17 - The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe18 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce19 - Wake Not the Dead by Ernst Raupach"
