Books with author Ike Matthews

The first collection of short stories for M. E. Matthews, she brings together and re-imagines stories from her days of blogging. M. E. Matthews blends good old monster tales with stories of lost love. There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of the afterlife, guilt, unrequited love, and missed opportunities. “All Inclusive” is about a kid trying to unravel a mystery. “Beware of Hairy Men” is another take on a werewolf classic. “The Hour” contemplates the afterlife and what if we could get one more hour to spend with our loved ones. Other stories address the supernatural, ghosts, haunted houses and possession. In “Long March,” Matthews weaves a tale of a desperate woman and a marriage falling apart. Also included is an expanded version of “The Husband”, M. E. Matthews’ first short story and a Scattered Wrecks blog reader favorite. Compelling, eerie and thought provoking, these stories illustrate the full range of M. E. Matthews’ repertoire.

Enlightened teachers insist enlightenment isn’t about finding the solution to a complicated problem.They say it’s just a matter of acknowledging the obvious. When these teachers experience their great realizations, they smile.They smile at the conspicuous nature of their discoveries, as if the truth is hidden in plain sight. And they smile at the ridiculous nature of their previous search. What did these teachers discover?This book tries to answer this question as simply as possible, insofar as the answer can be put into words.

Introduction. In placing before my readers in the following pages the results of my twenty-five years' experience of Rat-catching, Ferreting, &c, I may say that i have always done my best to accomplish every task that i have undertaken, and I have in consequence received excellent testimonials from many corporations, railway companies, and merchants. I have not only made it my study to discover the different and the best methods of catching Rats, but i have also taken great interest in watching their ?ways and habits, and i come to the conclusion that there is no sure way of completely exterminating the Rodents, especially in large towns. If i have in this work referred more particularly to Rat-catching in Manchester that is only because my experience, although extending over a much wider area, has been chiefly in that city, but the methods I describe are equally applicable to all large towns.

FULL REVELATIONS OF A PROFESSIONAL RAT-CATCHER AFTER 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE. By Ike Matthews Originally published in Manchester 1898, this rare early work on rat catching and control is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS have now republished it in an affordable, high quality, modern edition, using the original text. Ike Matthews was a well known pest controller in his home town of Manchester over 100 years ago. His services were much in demand by local corporations, railway companies and merchants. This book details his extermination methods acquired over some twenty five years as a full time rat catcher. During this period he not only studied the different and the best methods of catching rats, but also took great interest in their ways and habits. The book's sixty four pages contain ten detailed chapters:- How to Clear Rats from Warehouses, Offices, Store Rooms etc. - Trapping. - Ferreting. - Drugs and Chemicals. - How to Keep and Work Ferrets. - Distemper in Ferrets. - Working Ferrets. - Suitable Dogs. - The Habits and Natural History of Rats. - Life of the Rat Catcher. - Hints on Rabbit Shooting. This is a fascinating read for all with an interest in the countryside and its wildlife. The pest controller and gamekeeper, both amateur and professional, will also find much of the information contained in these pages still useful and practical, even today. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
