DOWNLOAD EBOOKPrivate Investigator Dirk Slade is looking for the killer of his best friend, as well as a missing teenager--the son of Dracula. Along the way he encounters the Wolfman, Frankenstein's monster and his former bride, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Leech Woman, the Invisible Man, Wasp Woman, and a host of other old horror movie characters. That's because Monster Town is set in an early sixties ghetto of Hollywood, where the monsters of black and white horror films have taken up residence, now that they're no longer in vogue. In this existence, monsters played themselves in the movies. THEY were the actors. Now most of them are just regular folk, with regular jobs.Slade's investigation leads not only to a number of murders, but a political cover-up and threat to the well-being of every citizen of Monster Town.There are plenty of dames giving this private eye the eye, but only one catches his. Star is a gorgeous torch singer with a yen for Hollywood but a dark past. Slade's attracted to her like a moth to a flame, but doesn't believe she's telling him everything she knows.Helping Slade along the way is his friend Kink, a sexy but disgraced fairy once known as "Wink"--back when she used to make movies for kids. Everyone knows about her scandal, but Tinseltown's loss was Monster Town's gain--at least according to Kink.This satire on old film noir and hard-boiled detective stories plays its mysterious plot straight, despite the bountiful list of quirky characters and its sardonic narration. Golden's Monster Town is unlike any book you've ever read . . . any place you've ever visited.(Monster Town is currently in development to become a new TV series.)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo hundred years ago, Christopher planted an enchanted rose which began Fairyland Old, in the age when fairies ruled the entire magical realm in harmony with the creatures of the woods and the monsters who dwelled there. That is, until the greed of the monsters drove the fairies to banish them, in which the lands were divided to become Fairyland and Monsterland. Now Kay and Rob, two adventurous friends, make their way into the forest and eat magical berries that whisk them away to the wondrous world. But, why are they there? What is the purpose? They soon uncover the deep secrets of the land hidden within the pages of two ancient books; the Book of Fairies and the Book of Monsters. Yet one book remains, the Lost Book, which fell away and was thought to be gone forever. But, who has the Lost Book? What awaits within it? Kay and Rob question this and more. What power does the precious Rainbow Crystal hold and even more importantly, who is the famed Christopher that the books foretell of? Answers are found through a journey of self discovery by the children and the simple act of believing in themselves and others leads them to the truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy the outbreak of the First World War, England had become the world's first mass urban society. In just over sixty years the proportion of town-dwellers had risen from 50 to 80 percent, and during this period many of the most crucial developments in English urban society had taken place. This book provides a uniquely comprehensive analysis of those developments - conurbations, suburbs, satellite towns, garden cities, and seaside resorts. Waller assesses the importance of London, the provincial cities, and manufacturing centers. He also examines the continuing influence of the small country town and "rural" England on political, economic, and cultural growth. Scholarly and readable, this book is a general social history of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century England, seen from an urban perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFollowing on from the hugely enjoyable A RIDE IN THE NEON SUN, Josie takes us on the second part of her journey through Japan; a country whose keyword is peace, yet spends millions each year on high-tech armament. Josie's travels are as fascinating as they are varied; she endures a horrific storm at sea, samples the deadly puffer fish and visits the two cities which will forever symbolise the horror of war: Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But wherever she goes, no matter how remote or industrious the area, Josie encounters the friendly, quirky and unbelievably generous Japanese people, from those who load her down with cabbages and cans of Pocari Sweat to one couple who left her the key to their shop - and told her to sleep by the till!
