Book Description
William 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. Within is 'The House Among The Laurels' which Hodgson wrote in 1910. A deserted mansion in Ireland displays signs of haunting, including what appears to be blood dripping from the ceiling, and several men have been found dead in the house. Is it a prank or a haunting? Carnacki recruits a group of burly local men to investigate, along with several dogs, and they attempt to stay the night within the mansion.

Book Description
Excerpt from Under the Laurel Miscellaneous Poems "Plant more laurels" ["Defense of Poesy"; Sir Philip Sidney.] Let not their noxious breath, Whose speech would compass Poesy's death, Upon her crystal fountains blow; Rather more laurels plant, he saith, The knightliest of all our white-dawn singers, The kingliest of all our springtide bringers Of lyric garlands, which have burgeoned so, That none more sumptuous in the world-wide meadows grow. Oh, more, more laurels plant Along the purfled vales the Muses haunt, That bards may wear their precious leaves, And share the crowns that Honor weaves For glorious captains who in triumph shine Upon grim legioned fields, or fields of keel-churned brine. More laurels plant, oh, more! That all the winged bards who soar Above the highest human worth May show their godlike birth To all on earth; Nor mid the uncrowned throng unhonored go. Oh, plant more laurels! let them grow Up to the very marge of sempiternal snow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In 1928 New York native Muriel Earley Sheppard moved with her mining engineer husband to the Toe River Valley -- an isolated pocket in North Carolina between the Blue Ridge and Iron Mountains. Sheppard began visiting her neighbors and forming friendships in remote coves and rocky clearings, and in 1935 her account of life in the mountains -- Cabins in the Laurel -- was published. The book included 128 striking photographs by the well-known Chapel Hill photographer, Bayard Wootten, a frequent visitor to the area. The early reviews of Cabins in the Laurel were overwhelmingly positive, but the mountain people -- Sheppard's friends and subjects -- initially felt that she had portrayed them as too old-fashioned, even backward. As novelist John Ehle shows in his foreword, though, fifty years have made a huge difference, and the people of the Toe River Valley have been among its most affectionate readers. This new large-format edition, which makes use of many of Wootten's original negatives, will introduce Sheppard's words and Wootten's photography to a whole new generation of readers -- in the Valley and beyond.
