Book Description
There is Nothing Like a Thane is a follow-up to Clive Francis's highly successful There is Nothing Like a Dane! The Lighter Side of Hamlet. Thane is a hilarious compilation of unintentional funny moments from a variety of productions of Macbeth - interwoven with Francis's witty caricatures. It also delves into the many superstitions, which have dogged the play since 1603, making it possibly the unluckiest play ever written We hear of how some actors fared better than others when playing the role of the Thane. If Ralph Richardson's was the worst, Peter O'Toole's was certainly the funniest. Olivier was deemed the greatest, John Gielgud the must successful, and Charles Laughton the silliest. We also hear from Orson Welles, David Garrick, Charles Dickens and William McGonagall - who refused to die for fear of upsetting his audience. Not to be outdone we shall hear from a number of Lady Macbeths as well, including Sybil Thorndike, who'd pray every night in the wings so as to ward away evil spirits. This is a book for all those who love the theater, especially the Bard.

Eva Thorne
Author: Lorel Clayton
Publisher: Lorel Clayton
ISBN: 0648676099
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 898
Book Description
Fun, clever fantasy with an epic ending! “I hated the late shift. I hated the morning shift too. If only I could make a living doing something I enjoyed, like yelling and intimidating people.” The surly Eva Thorne is a born detective when she’s not playing the femme fatale, but it takes her brother’s murder to set her on a hunt for clues. What she discovers brings her up against a powerful slave-trading cartel, dark gods, and worst of all her twin sister. In a city of elvish masters and matriarchal dwarves where humans have no rights, the only people on her side are an illegally freed slave, a senile nanny, and an ex-almost-boyfriend. But even when she nearly loses her job and almost loses her head in a sword fight on the same night, she isn’t deterred. It’s when the nanny goes missing that she really starts to worry. For the first time, the first 4 books of the Eva Thorne series are available in a digital box set - at the best price ever! The Eva Thorne series begins with a murder and culminates in the war that will end the world. Twisting the norms of high fantasy, mystery, and steampunk into a witty mixture of humor and romance, this series is an action-packed adventure worth taking. Magic and machines can't stand against the God of Death, and humans are on the run from the god's invasion. Highcrowne is the only refuge, but that means living in the Outskirts of an ancient city ruled by Avian mages, indifferent dwarves, and elves who'd prefer to see humans as their slaves. Eva is a relentless, kick-ass heroine unafraid of confronting kings, monsters, or gods, but she is a Thorne—the worst of the hated Solhan race. Her family summoned the Dead God into the world to grant them ultimate power, and secret parts of her desire power as well. The battle between her dark, Solhan nature and her desire to leave behind her family’s legacy of necromancy and tyranny is what drives her. Never one to meet others’ expectations, she fights fate at every turn. But as she is forced to make one difficult decision after another, she wonders if anyone can escape their destiny. "A fantastical twist on mystery, brimming with action-packed adventure and a sense of clever fun." -Elizabeth Spann Craig, Bestselling Mystery Author “I picked this up and just could not put it down until I finished! …If you like Mystery, Romance, and Fantasy this book has it all!” – Terry’s Book Addiction “An enjoyable, fantastic read!” – Pearl, #1 Best Goodreads Reviewer

Sons of Navarus Box Set #2

Pages : 503
Book Description
The Sons of Navarus series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author K.M. Scott writing as Gabrielle Bisset—Get Blood Spirit (Sons of Navarus #3), The Deepest Cut (A Sons of Navarus Short Story), and Blood Prophecy (Sons of Navarus #4) and includes the short stories His Love and Forbidden Fruit) in this new Sons box set! Blood Spirit I am everything you seek. I am vampire. Blessed with the gift of telepathy, Terek always knows what a woman wants. His gift has afforded him nightly sensual pleasures and exotic treats for centuries, but beneath the surface he yearns for much more. Ilona can give him what his soul craves, but only if he trusts his heart. One fateful choice made out of desire puts all he cares for in danger. With a civil war and the threat of Archon hunters at every turn, this Son may lose everything if he can’t find the balance between heart and mind. The Deepest Cut For Vasilije, Sasa is more than just one of his vampires. She’s the only vampire he keeps in his life now. That comes with many perks, but also with its fair share of pain as Vasilije can be thoughtless of his empath girlfriend’s feelings. His forgetfulness in this area has allowed another Son to befriend Sasa, and the result was Thane’s willing assistance in feeding her while Vasilije was once again absent from her side. Sasa is loyal to her sire and mate, but her mind is plagued with doubts that Vasilije isn’t the devoted male she’s believed him to be. The ease with which he leaves her makes her wonder if his eyes and other body parts have begun to stray from her. Naturally, she turns to her only true friend for sympathy, and Thane is happy to listen to the woman he secretly loves. Conflict over a female between two alpha males can lead to a fatal misstep when so much is at stake. The Sons of Navarus can’t afford to let their focus slip from deciphering the Prophecy of Idolas and defeating the Archons, and now more than ever they need to be united in their fight to save the vampire world. Blood Prophecy Nothing will ever be the same again… I am everything you fear. I am vampire. As the two Sons chosen to decipher the Prophecy of Idolas, Ramiel and Thane journey to find the key to defeating the Archons. Together with Noele, a born vampire, they confront their fates as they fulfill their duty to their world. Along the way, they’ll find love, but death and betrayal lurk in the shadows, threatening everything dear to them. Descended from the gods and warriors all, each Son’s loyalty will be tested. Every action has consequences, and the choices they make now seal their fates. Alliances as old as the vampire world itself are reforged, and the Sons’ duty is clear. Stop the Archons. Or die trying.
