  Two EM Forster Classics - A Room...

  Collected here are two E.M. Forster classics: "A Room With a View" and "Howards End," each a stand-alone masterpiece and both celebrated as among the finest novels of early 20th century literature.  In the first, "A Room With a View" we follow the travels - both abroad and romantically - of young Lucy Honeychurch, who kindles a flirtation while on vacation in Italy, but then returns home to find herself in a passionless engagement. When the young man who stirred her heart in Florence becomes her neighbor in England, Lucy is faced with a dilemma: Break off her engagement to the society-approved Cecil Vyse or....follow her heart with the dashing George Emerson.  In "Howards End" (considered by many to be Forster's finest work), we meet three families: the idealistic Schlegels, the fabulously wealthy Wilcoxes and the impoverished Basts. When Ruth, the ailing matriarch of the Wilcox family, secretly bequeaths her beloved country house Howards End to Margaret Schlegel, it launches a series of events - including family strife, infidelities, and a secret pregnancy - which threaten to destroy all three families.  Long hailed as one of the most brilliant and beloved authors of the Edwardian era, E.M. Forster's works have become among the most critically acclaimed and cherished novels of the past hundred years and have been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen.  "A Room With a View" and "Howards End" are presented here in their original and unabridged formats and narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for her readings of Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's Prairie Trilogy and Dorothy Parker's "Sunset Gun."

  'Joel Lane's imagination is bleak. But it is also the imagination of a poet.'
  
  – M John Harrison, author of The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again
  WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY CONRAD WILLIAMS
  
  Set in a post-industrial landscape of the present, the near future, and the imagined, Joel Lane's seminal collection The Lost District explores human encounters with the unknown: sexual discovery, drug-inspired visions, the lonely paths of madness, and the shadow realms on the other side of death.
  A neighbourhood fades into corrupt echoes of itself; a porn actor's scars reveal the forces controlling his life; a musician is haunted by the madness of a deceased singer; and a man literally follows his ex-lover to the end of the world.
  
  Ranging from grim urban horror to strange erotic fantasies to bitter allegories of loss and exploitation, the stories in The Lost District link the hidden places in the urban and small-town landscapes to the secret spaces inside all of us.
  First published in the USA in 2006, and long out-of-print, The Lost District has never been published in the UK until now, further enforcing Joel Lane's reputation as one of the most significant and distinctive British writers of the weird.
