In a world where different means 'bullied', Solomon Seal is very different. And very bullied. Only a few friends soften the terror of Renishaw Middle School and its tormentors. One day, on an outing to the Darkley Woods, he and his friends explore prehistoric cave paintings and a misshapen hand print, the hand of the 'Darkley Troll' in local folklore. Solomon finds a way to an ancient world, and to a horror beyond any legend of the Darkley Troll. And yet he has to fight it.

In the fall of 1997, a veteran 8th grade English teacher--Mr. Bob Walton--gets a new student in class. Her name is Vickie Stone. She is a ... different young woman. Quiet. Always reading. The other students don't seem to even notice her. But Mr. Walton recognizes something special in her, not just "different." One day she submits to him an amazing story she's written, a story that claims she is a direct descendent of Victor Frankenstein, the man who created the famous creature, the man who first appeared in FRANKENSTEIN, 1818, a novel by Mary Shelley.Mr. Walton is astonished by her story--and then she begins giving him more and more of her papers, and her story so consumes Mr. Walton that, years later--now!--he decides to publish her words, just as she wrote them. He intrudes now and then with a note to explain something, but the story is all Vickie's.She tells about her girlhood, her friendship with a neighbor girl named Harriet, and her slow discovery that there is something very unusual about her, and her horrifying experiences that begin when she is just a little girl.We follow Vickie to an island in the Ohio River, another island on Lake Erie, islands where she has some frightening and potentially fatal encounters.

Excerpt from The Diary of Captain Daniel Roe, an Officer of the French and Indian War and of the Revolution: Brookhaven, Long Island, During Portions of 1806-7-8The children of this wort'hy couple, in order. Were Daniel, Joseph Brew ster, Deborah, john, Joanna, Charlotte, Ruth, Mary, Hannah, Rebecca and Hulda'h (twins), and Austin, of which list the last four were born while the family was in exile, i. E., while living in Connecticut during the Revolution. Vv'hile the temptation to dwell on the merits of each respective member of this family is great, the limits of the article forbid more than the barest detail, though this must be said, that each one was a Puritan of the strictest type, worthy descendants of people who had left their British homes for conscience sake. The regularity of the advent of children to this household from the first in 1762 to the last in 1782, with an interval of two years in every case, is worthy the study of sociologists; evidently, Nature had her own way to the letter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

While researching Jack London, biographer Daniel Dyer uncovered an amazing truth - that London's real life was just as rich and exciting as the stories and characters he created. Equally adept in writing as he was at thrill-seeking, London left school at age eleven to begin his lifelong courtship of adventure. He worked as a seal hunter, an oyster pirate, and a factory worker. And by the time of the Klondike gold rush, he was well on his way to becoming one of the world's most popular writers. This comprehensive biography takes the reader into the mind and life of this memorable author.

Excerpt from The Girl in Checks: Or, the Mystery of the Mountain CabinThe scenes and thoughts recorded on these pages have struggled within me for utterance. I have given them to whosoever shall read this volume. I believe they will stimulate thought on the part of the reader, and prove suggestive to every earnest heart.I have no apology to make for any thing within these pages. The scenes, anecdotes, and incidents have been drawn from real life; many of them are true. I am free to say the book contains more "truth than poetry," no matter how poorly expressed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
