Book Description
George Oliver Smith (1911–1981) (not to be confused with George H. Smith) was an American science fiction author. Smith was an active contributor to Astounding Science Fiction during the Golden Age of Science Fiction in the 1940s. His collaboration with the magazine’s editor, John W. Campbell, Jr., was interrupted when Campbell’s first wife, Doña, left him in 1949 and married Smith. Smith continued regularly publishing science fiction novels and stories until 1960. His output greatly diminished in the 1960s and 1970s when he had a job that required his undivided attention. He was given the First Fandom Hall of Fame award in 1980. Included are: OPERATION INTERSTELLAR STOP, LOOK, AND DIG HIGHWAYS IN HIDING THE FOURTH “R” INSTINCT HISTORY REPEATS THE BIG FIX THE UNDETECTED THE TROUBLEMAKERS AMATEUR IN CHANCERY If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!

Book Description
We love ghost stories here at Wildside Press—witness the fact that we have now now reached our eighth volume in this series. Very few other genres are so versatile and enduring as tales of the supernatural. Ghosts can (and have) appeared in literature for thousands of years, in all countries and continents (and times past, present, and future) throughout the world. But the Victorian era particularly seemed to embrace ghost stories, and that’s when Christmas ghost tales became not just a staple of literature, but a requirement. Seemingly all British fiction magazines (and many newspapers) had to publish at least one ghostly tale in the month of December. Proving that the ghost story tradition is strong to the present day, we have an original story from Phyllis Ann Karr (author of the Frostflower and Thorn series), plus two drawn from Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (which strayed a little more into the fantastic and horrific in the 1960s that it does today), plus another modern story by Wallace West, who is best known as a science fiction writer. Good stuff. Here is the complete lineup: UNSEEN—UNFEARED, by Francis Stevens RUNNING WOLF, by Algernon Blackwood UNCLE CHRISTIAN’S INHERITANCE, by Erckmann-Chatrian MOMMY, by Mary Elizabeth Counselman A GHOST’S REVENGE, by Tighe Hopkins THE HAUNTED HOUSE, by George MacDonald THE THING IN THE UPPER ROOM, by Arthur Morrison DIE, GEORGE!, by Stephen Wasylyk HEINRICH, by Wallace West RESURGAM, by Rina Ramsay THE SPECTRE OF TAPPINGTON, by Thomas Ingoldsby THE INEXPERIENCED GHOST, by H. G. Wells THE SECOND MRS. RANDLEMAN, by Talmage Powell THE SILVER MIRROR, by Arthur Conan Doyle WHILE THE PASSENGERS SLEPT, by Edgar Wallace THE WARNING LIGHT, by Phyllis Ann Karr NAPOLEON AND THE SPECTRE, by Charlotte Brontë THE COLD EMBRACE, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon THE PHIAL OF DREAD, by Fitz Hugh Ludlow SOME STRANGE DISTURBANCES IN AUNGIER STREET, by J. Sheridan Le Fanu THE OLD NURSE’S STORY by Mrs. Gaskell THE FOUR-FIFTEEN EXPRESS, by Amelia B. Edwards THE SECRET OF THE STRADIVARIUS, by Hugh Conway MR.

Book Description
Nella Larsen (1891–1964) was an author of mixed race who wrote from the 1920s through 1930. She is considered part of the Harlem Renaissance, even though she was raised by her White mother and White stepfather. Issues of race and identity permeate her fiction. Her small literary output—just two novels and three short stories—achieved critical acclaim in its day, though commercial success escaped her. Over the last few decades, her work has been rediscovered, and how she is considered not only an important Black writer, but an early modernist. Included in this volume: Passing [novel] Quicksand [novel] "The Wrong Man" [short story] "Freedom"" [short story] "Sanctuary" [short story] "Three Scandinavian Games" [non-fiction] "Danish Fun" [non-fiction]
