Summary

Famous for his pseudonym ‘Sapper’, H. C. McNeile drew on his experiences in the trenches during the First World War for his war stories and novels. His most famous creation is Bulldog Drummond, an ex-British Army Captain turned crime-fighting gentleman vigilante.  McNeile’s stories are either directly about the war or feature characters whose lives have been shaped by the conflict. In later years, his work shifted into the genre of thrillers, featuring upper class Englishmen defending England from foreigners plotting against it. This eBook presents McNeile’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    In this later-in-life, love-after-loss romance, will leaving positive legacies mean kissing their own happily-ever-after goodbye? 
    If Tim Bergeron got a lifetime achievement award for anything, it’d be managing the iconic rock band, Awestruck, but he’d trade his successful career for the opportunity to prevent his daughter from repeating his mistakes. 
    When a health scare proves time is short, he talks Isabella into a cross-country road trip. His attempts to talk her out of a hasty marriage drive a wedge between them, and it looks like the best he can hope for from the trip is scouting out promising new talent to represent. That is, until he meets Gabby. 
    Widow Gabrielle Voss has responsibilities to her daughter and patients, deep roots in the community, and a dream that scares her. Though she’d never utter it to the people she lives and works among, the truth slips out with Tim, who’s not in Many Oaks, Iowa, to stay. 
    As her fiftieth birthday party draws near and an attraction to Tim sparks to life, Gabby realizes she must pursue her dream now—or, more reasonably, never.

    Abigail, a children's book author haunted by past traumas, returns to her childhood home to care for her ailing father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. 
    Shortly after her arrival, she is thrust into a nightmarish reality as she uncovers chilling family secrets. 
    Her journey becomes an intense battle for sanity, pulling her into a confrontation with her deepest fears and long-buried traumas. As she pieces together the past, she realizes her family's legacy is entwined with something far more sinister, leaving her to question what's real and what lies in the shadows of her mind. 
    This isn't a story about monsters in the closet. It's about the ones that linger behind your eyelids when you're too terrified to sleep. Within her father's unraveling mind and the suffocating walls of her childhood home, she senses something rotting, something watching. Each sleepless night pulls her deeper into a fractured reality where memory and hallucination blur, unearthing horrors that refuse to stay buried. 
    Relentlessly unsettling, Purgatory is a horror story without mercy-an exploration of memory, identity, and the terrifying possibility that once you've crossed certain lines, there's no coming back. The end of daze.
