  The House - From their pens to...

  Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
  It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
  By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
  His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
  His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
  W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

  The Sky Trap

  Suspended in mid-air high above the planet, the stratoship Perseus should still be moving—but it isn’t. Meteorologist Lawton and his crew find themselves trapped in a silent, motionless bubble of sky, where the clouds have frozen beneath them and the air outside has become a strange, alien theatre. Inside the ship, tensions mount, minds unravel, and something unseen creeps across the outer hull in creeping tendrils of life. 
  In this golden-age thriller from Frank Belknap Long, the fight isn’t just for survival against a terrifying alien vegetation; it’s a battle of human instincts, fragile alliances and the terror of staring into the unknown. As hours stretch into endless moments, Lawton must face what it means to live when the world won’t move—and what it means to stay sane when reality itself begins to shift. 
  With a haunting narration by Phil Thompson, this edition immerses you in a high-altitude nightmare where the sky becomes a trap, and the only escape may lie deep inside the human heart.
