Synopsis

Atlantida (French: L'Atlantide) is a fantasy novel by French writer Pierre Benoit, published in February 1919. It was translated into English in 1920 as Atlantida. L'Atlantide was Benoit's second novel, following Koenigsmark, and it won the Grand Prize of the French Academy. The English translation of Atlantida was first published in the United States as a serial in Adventure magazine.

It is 1896 in the French Algerian Sahara. Two officers, André de Saint-Avit and Jean Morhange investigate the disappearance of their fellow officers. While doing so, they are drugged and kidnapped by a Targui warrior, the procurer for the monstrous Queen Antinea.

Pierre Benoit (16 July 1886 – 3 March 1962) was a French novelist, screenwriter and member of the Académie française. He is perhaps best known for his second novel L'Atlantide (1919) that has been filmed several times.

Translated by Mary C. Tongue and Mary Ross.

    Real Ghost Stories of Borneo 2 is the second book following the success of the book Real Ghost Stories of Borneo. 
    This bestselling book is a collection of 30 short ghost stories, written by a family physician working in Borneo. These supernatural tales are true accounts with a unique insight into the local population and what ails them. 
    Be warned, very few of these stories have a 'happily ever after' ending. 
    A number of these stories may appear to have been left open ended with no explanation, as had been shared with the author in that manner.

    What's a Cinderella to do when she's accidentally kicked her Prince Charming in the face and broken his nose? Hold an audition, of course. 
     
     
     
    Harper Bailey is desperate to keep her family's amusement park business up and running, but her employees keep quitting, and the man playing prince to her Cinderella in the company's mainstage show is just the latest casualty. When sexy firefighter Rafferty Bradford, the most eligible bachelor in their small town, offers to step in, Harper agrees—reluctantly. After all, she and Rafferty are ex-best friends with a ton of past history. Surely they'll have zero chemistry onstage. 
     
     
     
    Rafferty has his own reasons for agreeing to play Prince Charming, and none of them are good. If Harper finds out the truth, it'll just reinforce every rumor she's believed over the years about Rafferty's bad rep. But when their chemistry explodes both onstage and off, he'll have to choose between happily-ever-after for himself . . . or the Cinderella he's fallen for. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    A Northanger Abbey Double...

    A woman visits a haunted castle, and two friends share tales of the supernatural in these two gothic novels featured in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. In Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, the main character, Catherine, receives a reading list of gothic novels. Once thought to be fabricated by Austen, these novels were rediscovered in the 1920s and are now referred to as the “Northanger Horrid Novels.” Two of the Northanger Horrid Novels, The Castle of Wolfenbach and The Necromancer, are presented here as A Northanger Double Feature.  With hidden identities, damsels in distress, creepy castles, and villainous Counts, The Castle of Wolfenbach (1793) is a showcase for the gothic genre. The story follows the beautiful Matilda as she escapes unwanted advances, braves the haunted castle, and attempts to find safety, and maybe even love, all while being pursued by her murderous uncle. The Castle of Wolfenbach is Eliza Parsons’s most famous novel and an important foundational work in the gothic genre. The Necromancer (1794) is by far the strangest of the Northanger Horrid Novels. The story begins with two friends, Herman and Hellfried, passing a stormy night by exchanging supernatural stories. The weirdness continues to unfold through a series of letters. The work is an example of the gothic genre’s use of framing narratives surrounding first person accounts from multiple characters. The Necromancer takes this trope to staggering heights by nesting multiple narratives inside each other. The resulting stories are a bizarre collection of violence and supernatural shenanigans centered around the mysterious Valkert, who is rumored to have returned from the dead.  Both of these stories are amazing examples of early gothic works and can be enjoyed as such for fans of the genre or read as a companion to Austen’s Northanger Abbey.

    Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a ground-breaking work of gothic fiction and one of the earliest science fiction novels. This original 1818 text tells the haunting tale of Victor Frankenstein, a driven scientist whose unrelenting ambition leads him to create life from death. But his triumph gives rise to horror as his creature, abandoned and shunned, turns to vengeance. 
    Exploring themes of ambition, responsibility, and the consequences of playing God, Frankenstein is a timeless masterpiece that raises profound questions about humanity, morality, and the pursuit of knowledge. A cornerstone of literature, the 1818 text retains its raw power and chilling relevance to this day.
