  • Virginian

    Owen Wister

    Paperback (NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company, Oct. 15, 1998)
    This is the classic novel of the American West, which served as a model for thousands of later novels and films. It is a story of ranch life and cowboy living at the turn of the century. The hero of the novel, the "Virginian", the only name by which he is known, has left his native state at an early age to try his fortunes in the western country. After roughing it along the way, he settles on Judge Henry's cattle ranch in Wyoming, where the owner makes him his right-hand man. The Virginian is strikingly handsome, twetny-seven years old, and, though unversed in the ways of the world and ignorant as to book learning, he has character and personality that inspire respect from all who know him. He manages to force on a turbulent community his idea of law and order-- "getting the drop" on an enemy, vigilante committees, and lynch law. The novel recounts his adventures, including his romantic initiation at the hands of Molly Wood, the Vermont girl who became a western school techer. And it introduces him to Trampas, the legendary villain who is the prototype of the "bad guys" of future western novels and films. "The Virginian" has been filmed three times, most memorably with Gary Cooper, and also became a long-running television series.
  • Dracula

    Bram Stoker

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 29, 2014)
    When Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897 it was not the first vampire novel, and did not achieve its status as an icon of the genre until much later, when the first of many film adaptations was created. Though the book was praised by reviewers and contemporary writers, Stoker died in relative poverty. It is therefore perhaps surprising that Dracula has grown to such enduring prominence, never dying, constantly revivified, frequently reappearing in current media, from the stage to computer games, and haunting our imaginations like no other character of horror.
