Synopsis

In "The Lost Trail," Edward S. Ellis immerses readers in the adventurous landscapes of the American frontier, weaving a captivating tale that examines themes of survival, loyalty, and the human spirit. Written in a vivid and accessible style characteristic of American dime novels of the late 19th century, Ellis employs action-driven prose interlaced with rich descriptions of nature, thus evoking a sense of place that is both immersive and evocative. This novel, emblematic of the genre, reflects the growing American fascination with the West during a time of significant cultural change and expansion, capturing the essence of exploration and the heroic journey through uncharted territories. Edward S. Ellis, a prolific writer and educator, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in the West, which instilled in him a robust sense of adventure and a poignant understanding of human resilience. A member of the frontier generation, Ellis's works often drew from local folklore and personal insights, thus providing authentic narratives that resonated with contemporary readers. His understanding of both Native American cultures and the intricacies of settler life lends a nuanced perspective to his storytelling. "The Lost Trail" is highly recommended for readers seeking an enthralling glimpse into the rugged world of American pioneers and the trials they faced. Ellis's masterful storytelling invites one to reflect on the complexities of humanity amid the harsh beauty of the wild, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in adventure literature or the historical context of the American West.

    London, 1873. Madeleine Brewster's marriage to Dr Lucius Everley was meant to be the solution to her family's sullied reputation. After all, Lucius is a well-respected collector of natural curiosities. His 'Small Museum' of bones and specimens in jars is his pride and joy, although firmly kept under lock and key. His sister Grace's philanthropic work with fallen women is also highly laudable. 
     
    However, Maddie soon finds herself unwelcome in what is meant to be her new home. The more she learns about both Lucius and Grace, the more she suspects that unimaginable horrors lie behind their polished reputations. 
     
    Framed for a crime that would take her to the gallows and leave the Everleys free to continue their dark schemes, Maddie's only hope is her friend Caroline. She will do anything to prove Maddie's innocence before the trial reaches its fatal conclusion.

    “To live forever... and long for death.” 
    What begins as a desperate act of heartbreak turns into an eternal sentence in this haunting short tale by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the famed author of Frankenstein. When young Winzy drinks a mysterious elixir meant to cure the torment of love, he unwittingly trades fleeting pain for everlasting regret. 
    Blessed—or cursed—with youth that never fades, Winzy watches the world age around him. Love, joy, grief, and time twist into a tragic knot of memories as centuries slip by and those he cherishes wither and pass. 
    The Mortal Immortal is a chilling meditation on desire, mortality, and the heavy burden of immortality. In a world where everything changes but him, Winzy’s greatest question remains unanswered: Is he truly immortal… or merely doomed to wait for death forever? 
    Narrated with intimate melancholy by Christopher Mireider, this gothic classic remains as resonant today as when it was first penned.
