Sinopse

E. F. Benson's "ULTIMATE COLLECTION: 30 Novels & 70+ Short Stories (Illustrated)" presents an extensive anthology of the author's rich literary oeuvre, marked by his intricate character studies and sharp social observations. With a literary style that elegantly blends wit with a keen sense of irony, Benson captures the nuances of Edwardian society, delving into themes of class, sexuality, and familial dynamics. This collection showcases not only his well-known works, such as the 'Mapp and Lucia' series, but also lesser-known tales that reflect his versatility and imagination, all beautifully complemented by illustrations that enhance the reader's experience. E. F. Benson was an influential figure in early 20th-century literature and a member of the Bloomsbury Group, drawing inspiration from the shifting mores of his time. His personal experiences, including his openly gay identity and upbringing within a prominent family, informed his explorations of societal norms and the tensions between appearance and reality. Benson's ability to weave humor and pathos into his narratives makes his work particularly resonant across generations. This ultimate collection is not only a treasure for long-time fans but also serves as an inviting portal for new readers to explore Benson's world. Whether one seeks escapism through satire or profound insights into the human condition, Benson's collection offers a compelling tapestry of storytelling that invites readers to lose themselves in the charm of his prose.

    REALITY TV: I have been looking forward to being here so much and now it hardly seems real. The view from my bedroom window is of fields and sheep and a hill that is almost a mountain. It is very much like the landscape we dreamed of when we first watched the Series, only on TV the fields are framed by the screen. Here they seem to flow on for ever.

    The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina walked away from Philadelphia's elite Saturn Club—with its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest in alchemy and the occult. In doing so, she abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the social ladder. Since then, she's eked out a living by telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has turned out to be more useful than she could have ever imagined. 
     
     
     
    For most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brief winter reprieve for the beleaguered people of the historic city, which is being eroded by extreme weather, a collapsing economy, and feverish summers—whose disease carrying mosquitos are perhaps the only thing one can count on. Like Thanksgiving or Halloween, Saturnalia has become a purely American holiday despite its pagan roots; and nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets their troubles for a moment. 
     
      
     
    For Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel reminder of the night that changed everything for her. But when she gets a chance call from Max, one of the Saturn Club's best-connected members and her last remaining friend, the favor he asks will plunge her back into the Club's wild solstice masquerade, on a mysterious errand she cannot say no to.

    For Dex Foray, con­vinc­ing Perry Palomino to open her­self to their bur­geon­ing rela­tion­ship has been more chal­leng­ing than hunt­ing ghosts, bat­tling demons, and stalk­ing Sasquatch com­bined. Add in the fact that the only way they can keep their Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror show run­ning is to take on a third part­ner in the form of the mys­te­ri­ous Max­imus Jacobs—all while inves­ti­gat­ing a sin­is­ter voodoo sect in New Orleans—and you've got the per­fect South­ern storm and a recipe for dis­as­ter. Luck­ily, Dex has never been one to back down, even when his life—and heart—are on the line.
