Synopsis

Lord Dunsany's 'A Dreamer's Tales' is a collection of fantasy short stories that transport readers to mystical realms filled with enchanting creatures and magical landscapes. Dunsany's poetic prose creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates the imagination, making the familiar feel otherworldly. These tales, with their dream-like quality, pave the way for modern fantasy literature by influencing iconic authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft. The lyrical writing style combined with vivid imagery sets this book apart as a classic of fantasy literature. Each story is a unique journey that invites readers to escape into a world of wonder and adventure. Lord Dunsany, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century fantasy genre, drew inspiration from his Irish heritage and love of mythology to create 'A Dreamer's Tales.' His rich background in folklore and storytelling traditions shines through in the intricate world-building and captivating narratives found in this collection. Dunsany's ability to weave together fantastical elements with philosophical undertones makes this book a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire readers and writers alike. I highly recommend 'A Dreamer's Tales' to anyone seeking an escape into a mesmerizing realm of fantasy and imagination. Lord Dunsany's eloquent storytelling and visionary creativity make this collection a must-read for fans of classic fantasy literature.

    "Woohoo! I love this book! It made me so emotional and sucked me right into the story." - The Not So Public LibraryYears have passed since Myla Lewis last fought gladiator-style in Purgatory's Arena. Now, she’s fighting again, only this time in Hell. And the stakes have never been higher. The demon King of Hell, Armageddon, has kidnapped Myla and Lincoln’s young son, Maxon. In the wake of Maxon’s abduction, all the after-realms are calling for war, and no one shouts louder than Lincoln. Myla knows that a war against Hell will cost millions of lives, so she devises her own plan, involving a small attack team and a secret entrance to Hell. Will Myla save Maxon, or will her child--and all the after-realms--fall to Armageddon? "This was one of the best in the Angelbound series. It was great to have Myla-la back and I absolutely love Lincoln and Maxon. The story takes you on a ride that is truly awesome!" - Angelspearl

    “The deceiver knows the Hungarian, the wise man keeps twenty-six ghosts in his library, and the widow carries the words of the dead.” 
    This is the final, cryptic entry scrawled in the journal belonging to the late John Chapel – a journal that detailed his obsession with finding a woman who didn’t exist. Hers was just one of several faces that he insisted he saw there in the rain, and one of the many voices that called to him every night, drawing him further into madness. Despite his wife’s unwavering faith and tireless determination, she could only watch helplessly as the man she loved slowly faded away, like a fingerprint on a window being washed away by the rain. 
    Now, months after his death, new information has surfaced that sheds new light on her husband’s bizarre case and renews Gwenn Chapel’s search for the truth. Her only allies in this crusade are her husband’s old mentor and eccentric history professor, Dr. Campbell, and his former best friend (and her old flame), Jeremy Connelly. As she uncovers her husband’s dark past, however, she begins to question their motivations behind helping her and suspects that one of them is hiding a dark secret of his own. Can she trust either of them to help her discover the truth or will it only be found in the cryptic pages of that journal John left behind? 
    Only Gwenn Chapel can decide where the truth lies as she embarks on a journey that will challenge her faith, the limits of her sanity, and even her love for her husband. Will she be able to put all of those pieces together that her husband left for her to unlock the mystery behind the “girl in the rain”, or be pushed over the edge and dragged down into that abyss with him?

    A Distortion of Reality has an Orwellian feel with a twist leaving the time open to being past, present or future. With the minds imagination, what seems to be is not always what is and much is left open for the reader to participate in the creation of the characters. 
    The story begins with the main character completely overwhelmed by something or someone, reality or dreamed, taken for an unknown amount of time, physically examined, tortured, injected with unknown substances and left totally confused. The Party makes it all but impossible to have the freedom of a personal life although there is still room for the trials of romance, if in fact they are real. 
    Be it mystery, science fiction or fantasy, or maybe a combination of all, this story will keep its reader anxious to find out what will happen next, and will take you back a little with the Hitchcock style ending.
