  A village in Cornwall is thrown into turmoil after a young girl falls from a train to her death. Was this an accident? Or murder? The mystery deepens when clues link the girl to a double homicide committed ten years earlier. Braddon's sensational novel takes us to the estates of aristocrats, the haunts of tabloid writers, the homes of Bohemian artists, and the dark alleyways of Paris. Braddon, one of Victorian England's best-selling novelists, is at the height of her powers in Wyllard's Weird. The novel shakes the foundations of 19th-century social order as it questions the sanctity of marriage and exposes the vices hidden beneath masks of gentility. First published in 1885, Wyllard's Weird has been for too long either out of print or available only in expensive facsimile editions. The novel holds an important place in literary history as it forecasts the appearance of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1886 and Sherlock Holmes in 1887.

  A shattered mirror. A silenced voice. A woman’s fight to reclaim her truth. 
  The Mirror Memoir: With Deep Reflections is the unflinching true story of Samantha Jo Folio; a journey through abuse, betrayal, workplace harassment, and spiritual warfare. What could have broken her instead became the fire that forged her voice. 
  From small-town Appalachia to the isolating glow of work-from-home call centers, Samantha’s path is marked by heartbreak and injustice, but also by resilience, faith, and divine encounters that could not be silenced. She survived toxic workplaces, online harassment, and the crushing weight of being targeted for speaking out. Through it all, she found power in ritual, strength in faith, and truth in the mirror that became her sacred altar. 
  This is more than a memoir, it is a testimony. For every survivor who has doubted their worth, every whistleblower who has wondered if the fight was worth it, and every seeker standing at the edge of despair and transformation, this story is for you. 
  Inside, you’ll hear:An intimate look at corporate retaliation and discrimination.The emotional toll of targeted harassment and intimidation.A survivor’s honest account of loss, faith, and reclamation.Real-life spiritual experiences that blur the line between the visible and unseen. 
  If you’ve ever faced injustice and felt invisible, The Mirror Memoir will remind you: your voice is power, your truth is sacred, and your reflection still shines—even when the mirror is cracked.

  Mary Elizabeth Braddon's first novel, Lady Audley's Secret, was one of the most popular English novels of its day. Published serially in 1862, it tells the story of the lovely Lucy Graham, who becomes Lady Audley at the beginning of the novel, and who conceals a scandalous secret from her new husband and his family. The plot, which includes madness, bigamy, attempted murder, and seduction, made this a shocking but highly successful story for Victorian audiences. It remains one of the best examples of 19th century sensational fiction, and is a wonderfully absorbing book.

  Bobby Rooster often watched his favorite superheroes on T.V. He liked to watch Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. But his favorite superhero was Green Lantern. He always admired the powerful ring that John wore. Here he was again watching his favorite episode of Superman and enjoying himself. ‘Oh, if I were a superhero’ he pondered. ‘I would help everyone and ensure that the town of Chickenville was 99.9% safe.’ The constant thoughts rang through his mind. He knew if he were given such an opportunity it would be his best wish come true. 
  He then looked at the time and realized it was geared toward 11:00 a.m. It was a Tuesday. Bobby Rooster somewhat liked Tuesdays because he had no work, but he often just did fun activities. Sometimes he went to the park, other times the movies, and sometimes he went and visited Mama. Today, he wondered what he should do seeing it was not yet twelve in the afternoon. He decided to go for a quick walk around the block. His apartment was not that far from the park. At the park, he could do fun activities but his best friend Stuart the rabbit was still out of town, so he decided against going to the park today. But he changed his mind a few moments later.
