Large Print Edition. Presented together for the first time, two
suspenseful horror short stories by Angela J. Maher. Arachnight:
Brian Archer is old, tired and alone. Taking advantage of his care
facilityOs inadequate staffing levels, he finds enough of his old
spark to sneak out for a clandestine midnight feast. The added
vigour he feels after a decent meal is addictive, and soon it
becomes difficult to hide his true, monstrous nature. Tasmanian
Devils: Kat hates camping with a passion but agrees to head off
into TasmaniaOs wilderness with her husband in an effort to save
their marriage. Matt, a fan of truly roughing it, chooses to pitch
their tent away from the designated areas, well off the established
walking tracks. As darkness descends, the night creatures make
their presence known, and not all of them are friendly.
Warning: This title contains graphic content of an adult nature. It
has been 8 months since Max and Helena's ritual to awaken The Great
Old One and, around the house, things have started to get "insane"
as the re-birth edges ever closer. Helena has been kept in a secure
room with walls lined of lead, to stop an unexpected madness
creeping through to those who happen to pass her room. Max has been
keeping himself busy with new, dark hobbies which were okayed by
his loving and loyal wife when it was obvious he couldn't touch her
until The Great Old One was out of her. As the two prepare for His
awakening, they realise that no one will be immune to the ensuing
insanity but, unlike the rest of the world, they're ready to make
the ultimate sacrifice for Him to rise again and claim his rightful
position as "God".
Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" in six weeks at the end
of 1843, during a particularly intense time of creativity. He was
having financial difficulties and was determined to have the
manuscript ready for publication for the Christmas market. This
book contains an original size clear copy Dickens' one and only
manuscript, written by his hand, with his revisions and corrections
evident on every page. The revisions show how Dickens made the
verbs become more active, the number of words became fewer,
achieving greater immediacy and vividness. This manuscript was
handed to the printer in this form and was published on 19th
December 1843. This edition has each of the 66 pages of the
original manuscript copied onto the left hand page and the
corresponding words typed on the right hand page. The book also
contains the eight original illustrations by John Leech, the four
color illustrations are on the cover of the book.
