Book Description
Anthony Monday takes a vacation to another world in this mind-blowing mystery from the author of The Lamp from the Warlock’s Tomb. Summer is here and Anthony Monday has been asked to join his friend Miss Eells and her brother Emerson on a vacation to northern Canada, where Emerson owns a no-frills cottage on an island. School may be out, but there’s still a riddle to be solved: A few years ago, three tourists visiting the cottage disappeared without a trace . . . The cottage has no electricity, but it’s humming with strange sounds and illusions. Before long, Anthony finds a disappearing chest that turns out to be a portal to another world—a realm populated by evil human-like creatures who want to drag Earth and its inhabitants into their dimension. As Anthony, Miss Eells, and Emerson try to come up with a plan to save the world, they are faced with their own intruder: a visitor from the other side with vengeance on his mind . . . “The atmosphere throughout this adventuresome chiller is appropriately scary and the villains are certainly evil personified.” —School Library Journal “Bellairs’s characters have a captivating charm that adds to this spellbinding adventure.” —VOYA “Throwing in plenty of conventional ingredients (ghosts, illusions, cryptic clues, secret passages, magic amulets, a witches’ sabbath, cliffhangers, last-instant rescues, etc.), Bellairs dishes up a broth spiced with action [and] suspense.” —Kirkus Reviews “While the notion of passage into another world is not new, the late Bellairs provides unique twists.” —Publishers Weekly

The People of the Mist
Author: H. Rider Haggard
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 1513266764
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The People of the Mist, an intoxicating mix of adventure, fantasy, and romance, is an underappreciated classic of English literature. Lesser-known among Rider’s works, this novel is perhaps more famous for being the origin of the phrase “Per Ardua ad Astra”—through hardship to the stars—than it is as a story that endures over a century after its publication. Shaken by the loss of his fortune, abandoned by the woman he was to marry, Leonard Outram risks all he has left to search across Africa for all he could hope to gain. On the way, he befriends a young Zulu named Otter, who guides and assists him in a hostile land. Together, the two rescue a young Portuguese woman named Juanna Rodd and her nursemaid, Soa, from slavery. In the face of danger—and Soa’s mistrust—Outram finds love all over again. When the group finally discovers the fabled People of the Mist, it quickly becomes clear that in order to gain what they came in search for—the wealth of a powerful kingdom—they will first have to survive in a land torn apart by conflict between royalty and a reptilian god. From beginning to end, Haggard’s story of escape and survival is sure to keep readers immersed in its world and guaranteed to leave them wanting more. To read H. Rider Haggard’s The People of the Mist is to enter a universe that could only be imagined by one of the greatest adventure writers of all time—at the height of his literary powers, no less. Published in book form in 1894 after being serialized in the weekly magazine Tit-Bits, Haggard’s novel is an epic of high fantasy that sheds light on how the intricacies of empire circulated in the popular imagination of British subjects during the reign of Queen Victoria. For the modern reader, it is both a finely-written tale of action and discovery, and a document of a world that is far from lost. Stories such as Haggard’s serve as reminders that we are never as far as we think from the sins of the past, that these “mysterious” and “exotic” lands of myth and adventure not only existed long before European conquest, but survive to this day in its shadow. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of H. Rider Haggard’s The People of the Mist is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Pages : 642
Book Description
This omnibus of two acclaimed novels is the story of Latro, a Roman mercenary who was fighting in Greece when he received a head injury that deprived him of his short-term memory but gave him in return the ability to see and converse with the supernatural creatures, the gods and goddesses, who invisibly inhabit the classical landscape. Latro forgets everything when he sleeps. Writing down his experiences every day and reading his journal anew each morning gives him a poignantly tenuous hold on himself, but his story's hold on readers is powerful indeed.

Pages : 56
Book Description
Mists are an unforgettable natural event. Objects often vanish then re-appear before our eyes. Walking into a dense fog initiates realities of unseen worlds. Follow this metaphor of reality. Imagine foggy weather as a new experience for you. Parts of yourself become invisible. Even a stretched arm is handless! Shock! Then, instant relief as the hand reappears. Family and schools taught us. We were given lessons, about clocks, reading, writing and arithmetic. Then we practiced new skills. Problems arose because the synchronous magic of the infinite universe confused us. Realization dawned, newer information also connected past and present, Synchronicity of multiple realities explained connections and opened new directions.

Book Description
WHAT IS REALLY REAL? Is the chair you are sitting on really there? What does reality and existence mean to you? Can you, as an ordinary human, get a grip of what reality is or could be? Well, yes you can! You can raise your perception horizons without becoming a nuclear physicist, philosopher or priest. MAN IS AN UNCERTAINTY MACHINE. He is fine-tuned to deal with uncertainty. He is not primarily a love machine (I am of course the exception), nor a sex machine nor a fighting machine nor a hate machine and not even a gene machine. He is an UNCERTAINTY MACHINE. People like and seek certainty in their lives, but is uncertainty the real path or key to reality? Should we celebrate and embrace uncertainty? So let's start using all that uncertainty and applying it to every component of our very being. · Can we trust our senses or is perception deception? · Can we trust the physical objects we are seeing around us? What is the matter batter holding us all together and how does matter . . . chatter? · What is the relationship between mind and matter? Is it the case that If you don't mind, it doesn't matter? · Do we have free will or are we just a quantum puppet? · If religion is the opium of the masses, is science the amphetamine of the individual? Do we put too much reliance on science and is our conviction a restriction? · Could it be that doubt gives you clout? Read on and be transformed to another world, the world of: 'THE GIST IN THE MIST'.
