  • The Yellow Wallpaper: and Other Stories of Paranoia

    Charlotte Perkins Gilman, D. Wallace, Searchtower Publishers

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Aug. 27, 2017)
    Many famous maddening stories The Yellow Wallpaper, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Monkey's Paw, The Cask of Amontillado, B24, The Fall of the House of Usher, and An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. This collection begins with two narrative stories. Taking us from our normal everyday life, into a gradual downfall to madness. First, The Yellow Wallpaper, an oppressed wife hides her journal filled with paranoia. She is recouping. From what her husband/physician calls, "a temporary nervous depression," with "hysterical tendencies." The diagnosis is common to women in that period. Next The Tell-Tale Heart, the erratic mad ramblings of a guilty conscience. Now to convince the reader of his sanity, he describes the murder he committed. Then concealed under the floorboards. In the end, the narrator's feelings of guilt result in his hearing the dead man's beating heart. Accompanied by The Monkey's Paw, with three wishes attached, to affect the owner. But the wishes come with an enormous price, for interfering with fate. The Cask of Amontillado is set in an unnamed Italian city at Carnival time. In an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes insulted him. Then B24, one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s great stories not related to Sherlock Holmes. Is he the accused or conspiracy, innocent or guilty. Consider the burglar caught in the act? Or has an unhappy wife used the opportunity to become a rich widow? You get to decide. With, The Fall of the House of Usher. The tale begins with a narrator arriving at the house of his friend, Roderick Usher. After receiving a disturbing message from him. Asking for help in a distant area of the country, complaining of an illness. As he arrives, the narrator notices a thin crack extending from the roof. Following it down the front of the building and into the neighboring lake. Winding up with one of my favorites, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. Farquhar a plantation owner in his mid-thirties is on an Alabama railroad bridge during the Civil War. He is being prepared for execution by hanging, with half a dozen military men and a company of infantrymen. They guard the bridge and carrying out the conviction. Farquhar thinks of his wife and children. Then sidetracked by a loud noise that, to him, sounds like a loud clanging; it is the conclusion of his vigil. He sees the possibility of leaping off the bridge and floating to safety. If he can free his tied hands, only the soldiers drop him from the bridge before he can act on the idea. And a popular outcome for TV episodes of the eerie kind. Charlotte Anna Perkins Stetson GilmanCharlotte Anna Perkins Gilman was born July 3rd in Hartford, Connecticut and died August 17th in Pasadena, California at age 75. A writer, commercial artist, magazine editor, lecturer and social reformer.Gilman was best known for three of her works, The Yellow Wallpaper, Herland, Women and Economics.

  • Shallow Graves

    Patrick Logan

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Oct. 12, 2016)
    Not all houses are made of brick and stone... Robert Watts is having the worst day of his entire life: first he's laid off, then he finds out that his wife is having an affair... with his boss no less. And that's only the beginning. Before the month is out, Robert finds himself alone to raise his daughter with no money, no job, and a house that is minutes from being repossessed. Just when he hits rock bottom, a strange visitor arrives at the doorstep of his soon to be foreclosed house with a letter from an Aunt he didn't know existed. The offer is simple: look after Aunt Ruth during her dying days, and in return Robert will be bequeathed the Harlop Estate in which she currently resides. It's a no brainer and Robert jumps at the opportunity, equally motivated by the prospect of financial security as he is for a fresh start. Problem is, it only takes a few nights in the Harlop Estate before he begins to question Aunt Ruth's claims that they are the home's only inhabitants... It's the scratching he hears during the night, the voices that he can barely make out over the constant rain, and then there's the girl with the rat... With their house foreclosed and their bank accounts liquidated, Robert and his daughter Amy desperately need a place to live. But the question Robert soon finds himself struggling with is whether living in the Harlop Estate is worth it... and if he can survive until Aunt Ruth passes to collect his inheritance. Shallow Graves is the first book in the Haunted Series, chilling, gruesome, and truly haunting tales with a twist that you will never see coming.
