DOWNLOAD EBOOKStolen Souls (1895) is a short story collection by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the beginning of Le Queux’s career as a leading author of popular thrillers, Stolen Souls contains stories of mystery, espionage, and international crime. Using his own research and experience as a journalist and adventurer, Le Queux crafts an accessible, entertaining world for readers in search of a literary escape. Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on the possibility of Germany invading Britain—a paranoia common in the early twentieth century—William Le Queux also wrote dozens of thrillers and adventure novels for a dedicated public audience. Although critical acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one of England’s bestselling writers. Stolen Souls is a collection of fourteen entertaining and thought-provoking short stories set throughout Europe. In “The Soul of Princess Tchikhatzoff,” an English journalist enters a popular restaurant on Nevski Prospekt in St. Petersburg. Dining alone, he cannot help but notice the strange couple sitting at the table next to him. The man, handsome, with a devious look in his eye, seems to be controlling the conversation, while his partner, a beautiful, ornately dressed woman, looks entirely uncomfortable. After they’ve left, the journalist goes out into the frigid Russian night, when suddenly a stranger approaches who cryptically invites him to a meeting of local Nihilists. In “The Golden Hand,” a reporter on assignment in Spain receives a tip to where the nation’s leaders—who have fled Madrid in a time of unrest—will be staying. Hungry for a story, anxious to provide information to the British people, and overall looking to break with several months of aimless wandering, he checks into his hotel and awaits his chance. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le Queux’s Stolen Souls is a classic short story collection reimagined for modern readers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK1993 A shape floats downstream, crashing into the lake of Chamomile. A settling famed for its 'too perfect' image. For Gavin, it's yet another needless eccentricity of a town he only dreams to escape. For others, it's a juicing basis of gossip and speculation. But, for Inspector Rudyard Stockwell, it's a pendulum of chaos looming precariously above his head. See, this figure is in the shape of a man. Encased in firm pale skin, it lacks a face. Nor does it hold a single defining feature one might associate with life. It's almost as though it is the discarded carcass of a stolen soul. It is, unquestionably, human. At least, it used to be. From the twisted mind of abstract newcomer Martin S. Wathen, 'The Endless Depths Of A Stolen Soul' is a horror experience one might seldom forget. This, the first part of a two edition event series. In it, you'll plunge into the depths of despair with Rudyard, Gavin and Angelica as they fight to keep peace but feel the tenuous strings of looming chaos ready to split. All with it, experience a tale of lost love, challenging hate and persevering friendship. Feel the true weight of Chamomile's curse, and follow those unlucky few ensnared in its clutch. The book also includes: a personal essay on the influence of horror cinema on Chamomile. PART II COMING SOON...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Rape of the Soul So Profound began when a young researcher accidentally came upon restricted files in an archives collection. What he read overturned all his assumptions about an important part of Aboriginal experience and Australia's past. The book ends in the present, 20 years later, in the aftermath of the Royal Commission on the Stolen Generations. Along the way Peter Read investigates how good intentions masked policies with inhuman results. He tells the poignant stories of many individuals, some of whom were forever broken and some who went on to achieve great things. This is a book about much sorrow and occasional madness, about governments who pretended things didn't happen, and about the opportunities offered to right a great wrong.
