The Volcanic Valve - Steam...

W. L. Alden

The Volcanic Valve by W. L. Alden - When a brilliant inventor tries to control volcanic eruptions with a mechanical valve, his bold experiment threatens to unleash fiery chaos on an unsuspecting world.  
W. L. Alden (1837–1908) was an American writer, humorist, and journalist best known for his early contributions to science fiction and speculative literature. Born in New York, Alden studied law and became a practicing attorney before turning to writing. He served as a journalist and editor for several newspapers, including the New York Times and Harper’s Weekly, and was appointed U.S. Consul in Rome in the 1880s. 
Alden’s fiction often blended satire, gentle absurdity, and imaginative speculation, marking him as a forerunner of American science fiction humor. He contributed to The Idler, The Strand Magazine, and Puck, among others. His best-known speculative works include “A New Form of Government” and the collection Among the Freaks (1896), which showcased his flair for whimsical inventions and improbable scenarios. 
Though less known today, Alden was part of a literary movement that helped shape early science fiction, particularly with stories involving quirky inventions, mechanical men, and undersea adventures. His writing reflects a playful curiosity about technology and society that resonates with fans of classic speculative fiction.

Ever since Kaye's grandfather died, she's been obsessed with counting things: the steps to her bedroom, the dolls on her sister's bed, even the threads on her favorite blanket. It's arithmomania, and with the selective mutism that sometimes prevents her from speaking, she literally can't find the words to talk about how she feels now that Grampa is gone. When they take the summer to clean out and renovate his old house, Kaye finds herself counting the days.
That is, until her younger sister, Holly, starts finding dolls. She finds them buried in the backyard, stuffed in the walls, crammed into the closets. From the first one, Kaye knows they aren't like normal dolls. They smile at her like they know something, and sometimes their eyes open and close on their own. Kaye hears her sister talking to them constantly—and she swears she's heard the dolls whispering back.
Everyone assumes that Holly's just a kid with a good imagination. Kaye doesn't think it's a game, because she knows that Holly—and the dolls—are going to make her play with them. Forever.Perfect for Halloween ReadingIdeal for fans of the supernaturalFeatures light scares
