De Coster vividly captures Flanders' rich cultural legacy and mythology in a sequence of engrossing tales. A wide range of characters, including bold heroes, crafty tricksters, and mythological creatures, are included in the book and are interwoven with enthralling and thought-provoking stories.

De Coster leads readers to a world full of magic, intrigue, and moral lessons with her vivid storytelling and vibrant images. The bravery, humor, and resiliency that permeate the stories in "Flemish Legends" are a reflection of the Flemish people's values and beliefs. De Coster's writing captivates readers of all ages, whether she is narrating epic wars, comedic misadventures, or heartfelt love stories. This helps to preserve the ageless appeal and value of Flemish folklore for future generations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGear up for a frightful jaunt into the darkest reaches of the ancient Appalachians. Folk deep within Appalachian hollers lean close to share stories of the inexplicable with hushed awe. Monsters rumbling in the hills. Strange lights darting through the pitch-black night sky. Horrible occurrences, almost ineffable in their bizarre tragedy. "Tall tales," you might say. But tell that to the Flatwoods monster in Braxton County, West Virginia. Or the Goat Man of Louisville--look into his humanoid eyes and let him know you don't believe. And what of those apparitions in Mammoth Cave's Corpse Rock, or the Satan-spawn known as the Jersey Devil? How do you respond when those mysteries confront? From metaphysical energy that swirls near the Serpent Mound in Ohio to Point Pleasant's Mothman legacy, Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz explore the dark history lurking in the shadows of Appalachia..

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWilliam Hope Hodgson spent his early life as a cabin boy, before becoming a prolific author. Although best-known nowadays for two novels – The House on the Borderland (1908) and The Night Land (1912) – his short fiction was also extremely popular in its day. Many of the earliest ghost stories and tales of hauntings, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The islands on which Columbus first landed and the adjacent stretch of mainland from Mexico to Patagonia which the Spaniards who followed him colonized lay outside the territory which is now known as the United States. Nevertheless the instinct of the American democracy has always looked back to him as a sort of ancestor, and popular American tradition conceives of him as in some shadowy fashion a founder. And that instinct and tradition, like most such national instincts and traditions, is sound...."
