Ghosts Walk the Shenandoah
Author: Daryl Anderson
Publisher: Mob City Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
June, 1969. It's been three years since a serial killer walked the streets of Baltimore and changed Dara Burke's life forever. Now in high school, Dara's determined to enjoy her last summer before senior year. Until her aunt insists that Dara accompany her to Black Springs, West Virginia, to attend a distant cousin's wedding. Dara doesn't want to go. She'd never even met Cousin Isobel and small towns aren't her thing. But Dara rationalizes that she'll only be gone a few days. But when she arrives at Isobel's isolated ruin of a house in the woods, she feels a foreboding. As the wedding looms, Dara counts the days until she returns to Baltimore. Then disaster strikes when Isobel's odious fiance is murdered. While the police focus on Isobel, Dara knows there's more to the story. As she digs deeper into the murder, she uncovers a terrible secret that lurks beneath the surface of the seemingly idyllic mountain town. Slowly, Dara comes to realize that Black Springs is a place that holds the darkness close. A haunted land of secret hollows and dark waterfalls, the earth here is well-nourished with the blood and bones of folk who have gone before. Now, something stirs in the Blue Ridge. Something evil. With vivid prose and haunting imagery, Daryl Anderson weaves a tale of mystery and terror that will keep you turning the pages long into the night. Dive in if you dare, but beware: once you enter the Shenandoah, you may never leave.

Pages : 117
Book Description
'Eden: An Episode' is a novel written by Edgar Saltus. The story begins with a rumor and the man in the center of it all: John Usselex. After his engagement to Miss Menemon is made public, people gossip about him—spreading tales of him having a different name and a past tending geese in Bavaria to being an outlaw and fleeing from the death penalty in Denmark, to having fled from creditors in Vienna. Nobody is quite sure about the truth, and Usselex himself seems to have no interest in setting the records straight.

By Broad Potomac's Shore
Author: Kim Roberts
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813944767
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Following her successful Literary Guide to Washington, DC, which Library Journal called "the perfect accompaniment for a literature-inspired vacation in the US capital," Kim Roberts returns with a comprehensive anthology of poems by both well-known and overlooked poets working and living in the capital from the city’s founding in 1800 to 1930. Roberts expertly presents the work of 132 poets, including poems by celebrated DC writers such as Francis Scott Key, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Ambrose Bierce, Henry Adams, and James Weldon Johnson, as well as the work of lesser-known poets—especially women, writers of color, and working-class writers. A significant number of the poems are by writers who were born enslaved, such as Fanny Jackson Coppin, T. Thomas Fortune, and John Sella Martin. The book is arranged thematically, representing the poetic work happening in our nation’s capital from its founding through the Civil War, Reconstruction, World War I, and the beginnings of literary modernism. The city has always been home to prominent poets—including presidents and congressmen, lawyers and Supreme Court judges, foreign diplomats, US poets laureate, professors, and inventors—as well as writers from across the country who came to Washington as correspondents. A broad range of voices is represented in this incomparable volume.
