Immerse yourself in the terror of Peter Benchley's vintage thriller,
Jaws. Released in 1974 and inspiring Spielberg's cinematic masterpiece,
the book has sold over twenty million copies globally and remains a
landmark in classic literary horror.
It's never safe to go back in the water . . .
A small Atlantic resort. The mutilated body of a young woman, or what
is left of it, washes up on the long, white stretch of beach on the
beach. It is merely a harbinger of the horror that is about to unfold,
as a sun-drenched holiday turns into a nightmare.
You'll never look at the sea the same way again. A summer of terror has
begun.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. 'There are things in that wallpaper
that nobody knows about but me, or ever will' Hailed as one of the
most distinctive and compelling literary voices of her era,
Charlotte Perkins Gilman is praised today for her ground-breaking,
feminist writing. Collected here, both The Yellow Wallpaper and
Herland are extraordinary for scrutinising the patriarchal norms of
turn-of-the-century America. In The Yellow Wallpaper a woman
frantically paces the empty nursery at the top of a secluded
mansion. Her husband John, a physician, is of no comfort and she
can't bear to sit with the new baby as his crying makes her much
too nervous. And then there's the putrid, yellow wallpaper which
seems to shift and creep around the room before her very eyes...
Herland, first published in 1915, follows a group of three men as
they arrive in a female-only society. Peace and tranquillity thrive
in this utopian land, forcing the explorers to question how their
own corrupted, male-dominated world can survive.
A tree and its impact on the inhabitants of a nearby cottage and
manor house over the last century or so is the theme of this
compelling tale. We enter a world where humans and spirits mingle
with sometimes surprising results. The setting is the remote but
beautiful wilds of the Yorkshire moors. You will come to understand
the harshness of the winters and the tragedy the cottage and manor
house has seen through the years; the pain and anguish of the
residents is firmly lodged in the walls of thee buildings. What
sights they have seen, what memories they hold, what a fertile
breeding ground for the host of spirits and souls that burst from
the pages of this surprising and original story. We discover a host
of beings, and have the opportunity to enter the lives of a
multitude of compelling characters as we journey from a time when
living was usually simple and unsophisticated into the end of the
last century where the focus of all our lives changed dramatically.
