Sinossi

In "The Crimson Flash," Roy J. Snell weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of adventure, morality, and the complexities of human nature. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story follows the enigmatic figure of the Crimson Flash, a masked hero who navigates the fine line between justice and vigilantism. Snell's prose is marked by its vivid imagery and fast-paced dialogue, evoking the serials of his time while also reflecting the moral uncertainties present in society. The novel belongs to the genre of early crime fiction, embodying elements of pulp literature that interrogate the allure of heroism and the shadows it casts over the criminal world. Roy J. Snell, active predominantly in the 1920s and 1930s, was a prolific writer whose works often mirrored the cultural tensions of post-war America. Having gained experience as a newspaper journalist, Snell possessed an acute understanding of both public sentiment and the intricacies of crime. This background likely motivated him to craft narratives that spoke to the American psyche, eliciting excitement while addressing ethical dilemmas faced by individuals. His interest in adventure tales and complex characters often results in layered storytelling that invites reflection. For readers who enjoy tales steeped in action, moral ambiguity, and richly drawn characters, "The Crimson Flash" is a must-read. Snell's unique perspective and stylistic flair offer not only an engaging adventure but also a deeper commentary on the nature of heroism and societal justice. This work is an essential addition to the library of any enthusiast of early 20th-century literature and crime fiction.

    This entrancing collection of Irish fairy folk will enchant young lovers of the mystical, the magical, and the occult.  
    Watch for seal-skinned selkies coming to shore every ninth day to dance—but keep a safe distance, lest you become mesmerized. If you spy a fair mermaid combing her hair whilst sitting upon a rock, look away, as that could be bad luck indeed. And legend has it that just one encounter with the silver-tongued fairy known as the Charmer may leave a person lovesick and heartbroken. This gorgeous book offers illuminating introductions to fifteen remarkable fairies, the lesser-known heroes and villains of Irish folklore, from tiny leprechauns to enormous giants, trickster spirits to slippery shape-shifters.   
    Stories inspired by tales from the Irish National Folklore Collection and a look at each fae’s traits and origins make this a keepsake collection and a gift to be treasured.
