Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
An astonishing discovery! Available for the first time in 125 years, the Lost Novels Of Nellie Bly! Pioneering undercover journalist Nellie Bly is rightly famous for exposing society's ills. From brutal insane asylums to corrupt politicians, she exposed all manner of frauds and charlatans. She was also a skilled interviewer and reporter. What no one has known was that she was also a novelist. This is because, of the twelve novels Bly wrote between 1889 and 1895, eleven have been lost. Until now. Newly discovered by author David Blixt (What Girls Are Good For, The Master Of Verona), Nellie Bly's lost works of fiction are now available for the first time! Complete with the original artwork! These are The Lost Novels of Nellie Bly! Luckie Thurlow, exotic beauty and daughter of a gypsy queen, enters high society thanks to her school-friend, rich and tender-hearted Elise Kendall. Invited for a weekend stay, little Luckie instantly wins over Elise’s friends with her beauty and kindness. One man in particular is smitten with her—Lloyd Stockton, the reserved heir to a grand fortune. But Luckie only has eyes for his cousin, flirtatious ne’er-do-well Harry Portland. Luckie’s mother, however, has her own plans for Luckie’s future. As part of an elaborate scheme to avenge the broken heart of her dead sister, the Gypsy Queen plans for Luckie to wed Stockton—even in spite of Luckie’s own heart! But the queen is not the only one plotting Luckie’s future for her. An old lover, promised Luckie's hand in youth, has come to claim his prize. If he cannot win her, he will make certain no one else will ever have her! And the beautiful Dory Lee sees only a rival in Luckie, and plots with Luckie's foes to remove her forever from the life of Lloyd Stockton. In a tale of murder and suspense, with dramatic reversals and stunning twists, all the lovers bet their lives as they begin . . .Playing For Hearts! Bonus feature: This volume includes Bly's New York World articles that inspired her novels!

Somehow, I've gone and landed myself in a world truly filled with monsters, and I'm starting to think this is where I should have been all along.Only...I don't understand what's going on. I'm walking into the middle of a story that's thousands of years old, and I'm the new girl on the block who doesn't have a clue how this world even works. My only guides happen to be the most lethal of the bunch.They decide who lives or dies. They decide who gets stabbed or tortured.Yeah...I've gone and drawn attention to myself, and the ones paying attention are the ones everyone else seems to fear.How do these things always happen to me?**Reverse Harem**Language warning**Sexual content**Dark Humor

The Birmingham Quean
Author: S. A. M. Trainor
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0953832821
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 583
Book Description
We are to believe there was a time when The Birmingham Quean was just a poem: a mock-epic burlesque in which a fake pound coin told how she was won in a game of darts by a drag-queen called Britannia Spears. It parodied Pope ́s The Rape of the Lock, Byron ́s Don Juan and an anonymous eighteenth century novel, The Birmingham Counterfeit. The transformation of this bit of picaresque doggerel into the sprawling work barely contained by this cover is the central mystery of a ludic novel. It mirrors the unlikely story of a dirty little settlement of nailers and cutlers becoming the principle city of the Industrial Revolution by flooding the Restoration economy with counterfeit coins. What remains is an absurd scholarly edition of a poem recast as a futuristic dystopia in which nothing is authentic. It is also the tale of an impossible love affair that uncovers an impossible text by an impossible author. It is as strange, ironic, sombre, flashy and anarchic as the city to which it owes its existence.

"Werewolf? Do you think you're living in some Hollywood film? No, they and vampires and the other movie creatures are fairy tales, ways of explaining the unexplainable. Don't you understand? Our queen summoned the Dark One to save you: Satan himself. Do you think the most powerful evil that has ever existed would want to change you or anyone else into some kind of wolf, bat, or other animal as some kind of pitiful joke? No, you are a gateway. In order to save you, Milema has destroyed you, and there is nothing you can do to change it. She made a pact between you and the devil. The evil one gave you eternal youth and life. In exchange, a demon from hell becomes a living, breathing thing in your body for three days each month. That's what your nightmares have been. Hell calling you to let its messenger enter you, to give an evil spirit form and substance. The one thing that God has denied Lucifer."
