  Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

  Buried Alive Stories - Stories...

  Edgar Allan Poe, William...

  Deep within us is the dread of dying of moving on from life to another state of being.  We assume it comes about through accident, perhaps even murder or disease that can be sudden or can take years to pull us into oblivion.  But perhaps trumping all of these is the fear of being buried alive.  The sheer terror of being totally trapped, unable to summon help and escape, fills one and all with a deeply unique terror. 
   
  In this volume such icons as Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce and Honoré de Balzac take us on a journey that will do our helpless fear of this no good at all.

  From papers on alchemy, to the medium's parlour, THE REALM OF THE OCCULT will offer you a glimpse into a terrifying world, hidden to all but the most scrupulous of intellects.
