From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Italian Fever and award-winning Property, comes a fresh twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, a novel told from the perspective of Dr. Jekyll's dutiful and intelligent housemaid. "Part psychological novel, part social history, part eerie horror tale ... dark and moving and powerful." —The Washington Post Faithfully weaving in details from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Martin introduces an original and captivating character: Mary is a survivor—scarred but still strong—familiar with evil, yet brimming with devotion and love. As a bond grows between Mary and her tortured employer, she is sent on errands to unsavory districts of London and entrusted with secrets she would rather not know. Unable to confront her hideous suspicions about Dr. Jekyll, Mary ultimately proves the lengths to which she'll go to protect him. Through her astute reflections, we hear the rest of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, and this familiar tale is made more terrifying than we remember it, more complex than we imagined possible.

It has been widely recognised that British culture in the 1880s and 1890s was marked by a sense of irretrievable decline. Fictions of Loss in the Victorian Fin de Siècle explores the ways in which that perception of loss was cast into narrative, into archetypal stories which sought to account for the culture's troubles and perhaps assuage its anxieties. Stephen Arata pays close attention to fin de siècle representation of three forms of decline - national, biological and aesthetic - and reveals how late Victorian degeneration theory was used to 'explain' such decline. By examining a wide range of writers - from Kipling to Wilde, from Symonds to Conan Doyle and Stoker - Arata shows how the nation's twin obsessions with decadence and imperialism became intertwined in the thought of the period. His account offers new insights for students and scholars of the fin de siècle.

In this book, William D. Holmes talks about how Christians has strayed away from the way God commanded for them to live in the Bible. As the generations change, so has the way people live change. What the Bible teaches regarding holiness should remain the same throughout each generation. Although what has happen is Satan has enlighten some people to try to modernize the teachings of Holiness and the things that the bible say Christians should not do. They will say it is nothing wrong with it. By so doing, they will mislead the people back into the world dressing and acting just like the heathens. It will be that there will be no difference in the church people and the world. The church will turn into a social club. It is the job of Satan to lead as many souls as he can into the fires of hell. It is time to clean house and return back to God, serving him in holiness and righteousness all the days of your life. I will talk about the false prophets and their impact on the church and the coming of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast. I will talk about the end-times with the four horses and two witnesses with their impact on the world--the coming of the Son of Man in his glory, God's wrath upon the earth. First and second resurrections with judgment at the great throne of the almighty and the millennium and a glimpse of heaven and hell. The final defeat of Satan and the demons with the new world order and much more will I go over in the power pack book. I am writing by leading and revelation of the Holy Ghosts. These events were given to me by God. We all should know no man knows the day or hour Jesus will return. Only God the Father knows. The immortal world is hidden from us on this side. But this book only gives you an idea picture of what is to come. May God speak to your heart as you read this book. It is time to live holy for Jesus and be ready for the soon coming king and rapture of the Church.
