Summary

Frederic Manning's "Eidola" is a richly woven tapestry of existential exploration and philosophical inquiry, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe. The narrative, characterized by its stream-of-consciousness style and vivid imagery, delves into the complexities of identity and the human condition, as the characters navigate their fragmented realities. Manning's potent symbolism and lyrical prose invite readers to reflect on the illusions that shape our perceptions, making it a profound literary piece reflective of modernist themes prevalent during the time of its publication. Frederic Manning, an Australian-born poet and novelist, drew deeply from his extensive experiences as an expatriate in Europe, where he was intimately acquainted with the intellectual currents of the early 1900s. His time in England and France, coupled with his interactions with notable literary figures, profoundly influenced his writing style and thematic focus. "Eidola" is a culmination of Manning's explorations of personal and collective identities, shaped by his own struggles and philosophical contemplations in a world on the brink of upheaval. For readers seeking a thought-provoking journey through the intricacies of being and perception, "Eidola" is an essential read. Manning's ability to blend stylistic innovation with philosophical depth makes this work a compelling addition to modernist literature, appealing to those interested in the intersections of art, identity, and the human psyche.

    Hank Morgan, a 19th-century American engineer, is transported back to medieval England after a blow to the head. Using his modern knowledge, he introduces industrial and social reforms, challenging the feudal system and superstitions of the time. Armed with wit and ingenuity, Hank rises to power, becoming a rival to Merlin and earning the title “The Boss.” Twain’s satirical tale critiques monarchy, religion, and human folly, blending humor with sharp social commentary. As Hank’s innovations clash with Arthurian traditions, the story explores themes of progress, freedom, and the complexities of imposing change on an unprepared society.

    Haunted House The (Unabridged)

    "The Haunted House" is a story series published in 1859 for the weekly periodical All the Year Round. It was "Conducted by Charles Dickens", with Charles Dickens writing the opening and closing stories, framing stories by Dickens himself and five other authors.
    The story appeared in the Extra Christmas Number on 13 December 1859. Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with A Christmas Carol in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution. The Haunted House was his 1859 offering.
    In Dickens's opening story, The Mortals in the House, the narrator's ("John") health "required a temporary residence in the country." Knowing this, a friend of the narrator had chanced to drive by the house-situated close to a railroad stop mid-way between Northern England and London-and had written to the narrator suggesting he travel down from the North and look the place over. It was a large mid-eighteenth-century manor house on two square acres with a "sadly neglected garden," recently cheaply repaired, and "much too closely and heavily shadowed by trees." The house itself is "stiff ... cold ... [and] formal" and "in as bad taste, as could possibly be desired by the most loyal admirer of the whole quartet of [King] Georges." It was "ill-placed, ill-built, ill-planned, and ill-fitted." It was "damp ... not free from dry rot" and redolent with the "flavour of rats."

    Madeline Martin has built a life for herself as the young owner of a thriving business, The Next Chapter Bookshop, despite her tragic childhood and now needing to care for her infirm father. When Harley Granger, a failed novelist turned true crime podcaster, drifts into her shop in the days before Christmas, he seems intent on digging up events that Madeline would much rather forget. She's the only surviving victim of Evan Handy, the man who was convicted of murdering her best friend Steph, and is suspected in the disappearance of two sisters, also good friends of Madeline's, who have been missing for nearly a decade. 
     
     
     
    Harley Granger has a gift for seeing things that others miss. He wasn't much of a novelist, but his work as a true crime author and podcaster has earned him fame and wealth—and some serious criticism for his various unethical practices. Still, visiting Little Valley to be closer to his dying father has caused him to look into a case that many people think is closed—and some want reopened. 
     
     
     
    Since Evan Handy went to jail, three other young women have gone missing, most recently a young college dropout named Lolly. Five young women missing in the same area in a decade.
