Book Description
Welcome to The Seventh Ghost Story MEGAPACK®! Once more we have a wide-ranging assortment of supernatural fiction, with setting across the world -- Europe, the Americas, Asia -- and across the centuries. You will note that we have a larger than normal number of "Anonymous" stories. No, the authors weren't embarrassed by their contributions. Victorian-era literary magazines and newspapers often ran fiction without crediting the author, or with only vague terms like "A Lady," initials, or humorous pseudonyms (as with the story by “Q.E.D.” in this volume). Authors later collected their stories in books, and that's when readers discovered who had actually written what. If a story never got reprinted, its author remained a mystery. Modern scholars are still researching these anonymous stories, but many authors will never be properly identified. This time we include: BEAUTIFUL DREAMER, by R.A. Lafferty FROM THE TOMB, by Guy De Maupassant THE VENGEANCE OF A TREE, by Eleanor F. Lewis YOU CAN'T KILL A GHOST, by Frank Belknap Long A FIGHT WITH A GHOST, by Q.E.D.

Book Description
Alexei Maximovich Peshkov (1868–1936), primarily known as Maxim (or Maksim) Gorky, was a Russian and Soviet writer, a founder of the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. Around fifteen years before success as a writer, he frequently changed jobs and roamed across the Russian Empire; these experiences would later influence his writing. Gorky’s most famous works were The Lower Depths (1902), Twenty-six Men and a Girl, The Song of the Stormy Petrel, The Mother, Summerfolk and Children of the Sun. He had an association with fellow Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov; Gorky would later write his memoirs on both of them. Gorky was active with the emerging Marxist social-democratic movement. He publicly opposed the Tsarist regime, and for a time closely associated himself with Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov’s Bolshevik wing of the party. For a significant part of his life, he was exiled from Russia and later the Soviet Union. In 1932, he returned to Russia on Joseph Stalin’s personal invitation and died in June 1936. This volume includes 61 classic novels and stories: MAXIME GORKY, by Ivan Strannik INTRODUCTION, by G.K. Chesterton CREATURES THAT ONCE WERE MEN TWENTY-SIX MEN AND A GIRL CHELKASH MY FELLOW-TRAVELLER ON A RAFT TWENTY-SIX AND ONE TCHELKACHE MALVA THROUGH RUSSIA THE BIRTH OF A MAN THE ICEBREAKER GUBIN NILUSHKA THE CEMETERY ON A RIVER STEAMER A WOMAN IN A MOUNTAIN DEFILE KALININ THE DEAD MAN RUSSIA AND THE JEWS ANTON CHEKHOV: FRAGMENTS OF RECOLLECTIONS THE MAN WHO WAS AFRAID MOTHER (Part I) MOTHER (Part II) ONE AUTUMN NIGHT HER LOVER THE SPY, by Maxim Gorky THE OUTCASTS THE AFFAIR OF THE CLASPS THE CONFESSION ORLÓFF AND HIS WIFE KONOVÁLOFF THE KHAN AND HIS SON THE EXORCISM MEN WITH PASTS THE INSOLENT MAN VÁRENKA ÓLESOFF COMRADES MAN AND THE SIMPLON AN UNWRITTEN SONATA SUN AND SEA LOVE OF LOVERS HEARTS AND CREEDS THE TRAITOR’S MOTHER THE FREAK THE MIGHT OF MOTHERHOOD A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA THE HONOUR OF THE VILLAGE THE SOCIALIST THE HUNCHBACK ON THE STEAMER THE PROFESSOR THE POET THE WRITER THE MAN WITH A NATIONAL FACE THE LIBERAL THE JEWS AND THEIR FRIENDS HARD TO PLEASE PASSIVE RESISTANCE MAKING A SUPERMAN IN THE WORLD
