Wonder Of Women - The Darker Sex

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - The Darker Sex - An Introduction2 - The Lifted Veil - Part 1 by George Eliot3 - The Lifted Veil - Part 2 by George Eliot4 - John Charrington's Wedding by Edith Nesbit5 - Luz by Elinor Mordaunt6 - Lena Wrace by May Sinclair7 - Tamar by Lady Eleanor Smith8 - Sylvia by Bessie Kyffin Taylor9 - The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell10 - In the Mist by Mary E Penn11 - In the Séance Room by Lettice Galbraith12 - Behind the Curtain by Gertrude Barrows Bennett writing as Francis Stevens13 - Behind the Wall by Violet Jacob14 - Under The Electrics by Clotilde Graves writing as Richard Dehan15 - The Face in the Glass by Mary Elizabeth Braddon16 - The Strange Looking Man by Fanny Kemble Johnson17 - The Three Kisses by Violet Quirk18 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell19 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps20 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron21 - In Dark New England Days by Sarah Orne Jewett"

Essence of Evil – Tales of Monsters, Demons, Devils, Vampires & More

"Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor. These Evil entities, surely we can’t name them as beings, include all sorts of monsters, demons, devils, vampires and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I.1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Monsters, Demons, Devils, Vampires & more2 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft3 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft4 - A Pastoral Horror by Arthur Conan Doyle5 - The Devil In Manuscript by Nathaniel Hawthorne6 - Lucifer by Anatole France7 - The Devil's Wager by William Makepeace Thackeray8 - The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving9 - From the Memoirs of Satan by Wilhelm Hauff10 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron11 - The Devils Horse by Ion Luca Caragiale12 - The Demon Pope by Richard Garnett13 - Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book by M R James14 - Belphagor by Niccolo Machiavelli15 - Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling16 - A Story of a Weir-Wolf by Catherine Crowe17 - The She-Wolf by Saki18 - The Vampyre.

The Devil - The Europeans - A Short Story Collection

"Where there is good there is Evil. Whether you buy into that or not it makes for excellent literature. Authors have always explored the subject with abandon, able to unleash dark fears from the page without summoning them into reality or hearing them in withering hegemonic tones from the pulpit at our local church. Our fear of the Devil, whatever his temptations and rewards, is amplified by the thought of eternal damnation in his hell house service. In this volume our authors are all from Europe and see the Devil in ways that we recognise and yet are culturally distinct to the European mainland. 1 - The Devil - The Europeans - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - Lucifer by Anatole France 3 - The Lost Reflection by E T A Hoffman 4 - Belphagor by Niccolo Machiavelli 5 - The Generous Gambler by Charles Baudelaire 6 - From the Memoirs of Satan by Wilhelm Hauff 7 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron 8 - The Devils Horse by Ion Luca Caragiale"
