Synopsis

The anthology, 'WITCHCRAFT & MAGIC - Ultimate Collection,' presents a profound exploration of the mystical and often misunderstood realms of witchcraft and magic. This collection delves into the cultural fascination with supernatural practices and beliefs, from the shadowed corridors of medieval spells to the trials of alleged witches in early modern Europe and America. The anthology features an impressive range of literary styles, dramatizing historical accounts, philosophical musings, and rigorous scholarly investigations. Its diverse collection of standout pieces collectively challenges readers to reconsider the narratives surrounding magical practices and those accused of wielding them. The anthology assembles an eclectic array of voices, including literary luminaries such as Bram Stoker and Jules Michelet, alongside influential historians and folklorists like Charles Mackay and Margaret Murray. Each contributor brings a distinctive perspective, providing insights into the socio-cultural dynamics that have shaped the discourse on magic and witchcraft. From the Enlightenment era transformations in the social paradigm towards rationalism, to the Victorian revival of Gothic supernatural tales, these authors collectively enrich the understanding of how historical narratives around magic have evolved. 'WITCHCRAFT & MAGIC - Ultimate Collection' invites readers to immerse themselves in a kaleidoscope of narratives that transcend borders and centuries. Offering a unique chance to explore myriad perspectives in one volume, this anthology provides invaluable educational insights into the cultural constructs of witchcraft and magic. By engaging with this compilation, readers will uncover the multiplicity of voices and styles that encourage a reinvigorated dialogue, compellingly connecting past traditions with contemporary reperceptions of the mystical.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Ken Barnard is a computer software designer who has had a series of unrewarding relationships with women his own age. He lives in the bottom half of an old Victorian semi-detached house in Hendon, London, and he is enthusiastic about just two things, computer programming and spanking. Recently he has discovered the pleasure in spanking older women who are often not only willing but desperate to be over Ken’s knee getting their bottoms warmed. In this audiobook, Ken loses a couple of his favourite mature bottoms to spank but they are very quickly replaced with three others. Rose the barmaid loves to be spanked just like her Daddy spanked her when she was a child. Bridget works in the local deli and she can take a lot of spanking. Holly is Bridget’s friend and Rose’s sister and she needs punishment for her naughtiness.

    Fantastic: Loved the book there was nothing bad in the book I really liked the ending you are a brilliant writer I am going to read some more of your stories

    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.  
    NJSpank 
    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read

    New risky fiction—with no names attached. 
     
     
     
    If authors could write their sex scenes anonymously, would they be less reticent? Would they include the stuff they didn't want their mom, or the newspapers, to read? 
     
     
     
    Here are twenty-four original short pieces of fiction on the theme of sex, by twenty-four prominent authors living in Canada. Heather O'Neill, Lisa Moore, Michael Winter, Zoe Whittall, Pasha Malla, francesca ekwuyasi, Drew Hayden Taylor, Tamara Faith Berger, and Susan Swan are among these. But we won't tell you who wrote what. 
     
     
     
    The pieces are uncensored, unpredictable; they veer from graphic to subtle to surreal. There is straight sex and gay sex. There is frustrated sex. There is sex that happens entirely through text messages. Secret Sex is a book of erotic imaginings by some of Canada's most sophisticated and respected writers, working in total freedom, secretly. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    George Robert Gissing was born on November 22nd, 1857 in Wakefield, Yorkshire.  
    He was educated at Back Lane School in Wakefield. Gissing loved school. He was enthusiastic with a thirst for learning and always diligent.  By the age of ten he was reading Dickens, a lifelong hero. 
    In 1872 Gissing won a scholarship to Owens College. Whilst there Gissing worked hard but remained solitary. Unfortunately, he had run short of funds and stole from his fellow students. He was arrested, prosecuted, found guilty, expelled and sentenced to a month's hard labour in 1876. 
    On release he decided to start over.  In September 1876 he travelled to the United States. Here he wrote short stories for the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. On his return home he was ready for novels. 
    Gissing self-published his first novel but it failed to sell.  His second was acquired but never published. His writing career was static.  Something had to change.  And it did. 
    By 1884 The Unclassed was published.  Now everything he wrote was published. Both Isabel Clarendon and Demos appeared in 1886. He mined the lives of the working class as diligently as any capitalist. 
    In 1889 Gissing used the proceeds from the sale of The Nether World to go to Italy. This trip formed the basis for his 1890 work The Emancipated. 
    Gissing's works began to command higher payments. New Grub Street (1891) brought a fee of £250.  
    Short stories followed and in 1895, three novellas were published; Eve's Ransom, The Paying Guest and Sleeping Fires. Gissing was careful to keep up with the changing attitudes of his audience.  
    Unfortunately, he was also diagnosed as suffering from emphysema. The last years of his life were spent as a semi-invalid in France but he continued to write. 1899; The Crown of Life. Our Friend the Charlatan appeared in 1901, followed two years later by The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft. 
    George Robert Gissing died aged 46 on December 28th, 1903 after catching a chill on a winter walk.
