Book Description
Varla Ventura, Coast to Coast favorite, Weird News blogger on Huffington Post, and author of The Book of the Bizarre and Beyond Bizarre, introduces Weiser Books’ new Collection of forgotten occult classics. Paranormal Parlor is an eerie assemblage of affordable digital editions, curated with Varla’s sixth sense for tales of the weird and unusual. In the 1859 Christmas edition of his regular publication, All Year Round, Charles Dickens solicited his favorite authors to take up residence in his Haunted House. With an introductory story by Dickens (The Mortals in the House) each author writes from the point of view of the ghost residing in a room. On the Twelfth Night of Christmas, a night believed to hold supernatural powers, the ghost begin to speak. Adelaide Anne Procter, who was Queen Victoria’s favorite poet, delivers the tale of “The Ghost in the Picture Room” entirely in rhyming verse. Wilkie Collins, a lifelong friend of Dickens and a well known author and playwright, delights with his nautical story of “The Ghost in the Cupboard Room.” And Elizabeth Gaskell, in the longest of the stories in the collection, paints a vivid portrait of the ghost of a judge in “The Ghost in the Garden Room.” For any lover of Dickens, Gaskell, or even just a good ghost story, this unique collection will warm the heart and chill the bones.

Book Description
Silas McCracken was a hard man, hard but fair according to his own reckoning, yet he knew that few would agree with him. He came from tough, highland Scots ancestory where a Scottish pound was always a full twenty shillings, never a penny more, never a penny less. His wife Mary was of gentler stock . From this unmatched parentage, three sons were born. The two older boys would enjoy the favour of their hard, determined father, whereas the youngest son would bear his closefisted resentment. And so, as is often the case, the course of ones life is set from the earliest years. As the boys grow and develop into manhood, from the quiet confines of Kinross in their native Scotland, their destinies take them along separate paths. From the moneyed towers of the London financial district, to the backstreets of Soho, and the less savoury areas of Marseilles, the McCracken influence would travel through the Mafia stronghold of Sicily, post war Germany and on to the halls of power in New York and Washington. Only the youngest son would remain true to his roots in his native land. By different standards each son would succeed; it is for others to discern how success and failure is judged in the balance, and where the scale shall fall.
