Synopsis

Step into the relentless world of industrial America with Upton Sinclair's groundbreaking novel, The Jungle. This unflinching exposé of the meatpacking industry and immigrant struggles in early 20th-century Chicago pulls no punches, revealing the corruption, exploitation, and dehumanization that defined the American Dream for many.

Follow Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant determined to carve out a better life, only to find himself caught in a brutal system where hope is crushed and integrity is a liability. With vivid prose and journalistic intensity, Sinclair immerses you in a tale that sparked national outrage and led to sweeping reforms in food safety laws.

Ideal for readers of historical fiction, political thrillers, and social justice narratives, The Jungle remains a timeless classic that challenges and inspires.

    A duke who has imprisoned himself in an attic for nine years is in need of a wife… 
    Evander Meyrick, the Duke of Sutherton, has lived the past thirteen years under a curse. He didn’t know just how bad the curse was until every lady he married died within a year of their wedding day. Now he has a step-daughter, Tabitha, who is ready for her first Season, and he longs to give her something he can’t have for himself: a normal life. 
    A spinster who thought her best years were behind her may find a second chance so long as the curse doesn’t touch her… 
    At thirty-four, Miss Viola Keane is well past her prime. Having gone through three failed Seasons, she had resigned herself to never knowing the joys of marriage and children. Instead, she focused her attention on her family. 
    Shortly after her brother’s death, however, she finds out her family doesn’t have any money. When she learns that the Duke of Sutherton is offering a sizable sum of money to any lady who’s willing to marry him, she jumps at the opportunity to become his wife. 
    The notion of a curse doesn’t scare her. She, after all, doesn’t buy into such superstitious nonsense. But since her new husband and step-daughter are convinced the curse is real, she abides by the strange rules he lays out for her. 
    He wasn’t planning to fall in love again… 
    Evander only intended to spend enough time with Viola to discuss her role as Tabitha’s step-mother. But it’s been a long time since he’s had a meaningful conversation with another person, and something about her reminds him of what his life was like before the curse ruined his life. 
    Dare he take the chance of opening himself up to her and potentially risk losing another wife, or should he keep his distance in order to keep her safe? 
    *This is very loosely based off the Snow White fairy tale.

    When Hannah visits a haunted prison, what will she find in the deadly small hours? 
    Hannah is driven to right her wrongs. After a drunken 21st birthday dare left her with a shadow figure always around, the now-sober 28-year-old resolves to return to the scene of the crime. Determined to give back an eerie stolen piece of possessed fabric, she attends a phantom-hunting event with her best friend Christian, run by Get Haunted, at the Missouri State Penitentiary … to spend the night. 
    Going from one creepy location to another in the dark hours, Hannah watches Christian experience increasingly spine-chilling incidents one after the other. And when she can’t remember where the object belongs and tries one last cell, a vengeful specter refuses to let them leave … 
    She may have walked in … but will she walk back out with her life? 
    Intent on crafting a perfectly authentic and scary setting, author Brian Paone spent eight weeks writing this ghost-hunt-gone-wrong story from empty cells inside the Missouri State Penitentiary. And as he takes us to where his imagination ran wild while typing in the pitch blackness of night, fans of the genre will soon discover that same hair-raising thrill. 
    These Walls Still Talk is a deliciously macabre horror novel. If you like characters to root for, ghoulish goosebumps, and insidious intentions, you’ll love Brian Paone’s frightful venture.

    MESSAGES: The message is hand written on a scrap of paper stuffed in an envelope. It reads: 'Are you blind to the truth?' I study the shaky capitals, attempting to winkle out some clue about the sender, then I stow it in the filing drawer with the others. The messages are delivered when I'm out. They lie on the doormat waiting for me in their cheap manila envelopes, the flap tucked in rather than stuck down.
