  I’m not sure what I was thinking that day.  
  It was a normal Thursday; nothing new or exciting had occurred in the morning.  
  I’d risen from bed, taken a shower, and brushed my teeth. I’d then jumped on the 8:05 bus that ran a short distance between my house and the county library where I worked.  
  The ride took its usual 15 minutes before it left me standing fresh-faced in front of a building of gothic construction that was my favorite place in the world.  
  After straightening my knee-length skirt, I pushed open the door that led into the interior of the library.  
  It was at that moment that my world would change—impossibly and forever. It was a fateful movement of wood that collided with the shoulder of a man that would alter my very existence.  
  It wasn’t fear that I felt at that moment—more like the feeling of being watched. It was the feeling of knowing that danger lurks—the sensation of the hair standing on end at the back of your neck.  
  Looking back on a moment that happened so many months ago, I now realize that I should have listened to that feeling.  
  As I would later find out, the man standing in front of me referred to himself as Master Lucas…  
  And I was his next target.

  Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
  Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves: Matthew was having a bad ten minutes of it. He had come into the kitchen, in the twilight of a cold, grey December evening, and had sat down in the wood-box corner to take off his heavy boots, unconscious of the fact that Anne and a bevy of her schoolmates were having a practice of "The Fairy Queen" in the sitting-room.

  Membership Drive by Murray F. Yaco - Want to join our secret organization? Well, first you have to pass the tests. 
  Thirty million miles out, Keeter began monitoring the planet's radio and television networks. He kept the vigil for two sleepless days and nights, then turned off the receivers and began a systematic study of the notes he had taken on English idioms and irregular verbs. Twelve hours later, convinced that there would be no language difficulty, he left the control room, went into his cabin and fell into bed. He remained there for sixteen hours. 
  When he awoke, he walked to a locker at the end of his cabin, opened the door and carefully selected clothing from a wardrobe that was astonishing both for its size and variety. For headdress, he selected a helmet that was not too different in design from the "space helmets" he had viewed on a number of television programs. It would disappoint no one, Keeter reflected happily, as he took a deep breath and blew an almost imperceptible film of dust from the helmet's iridescent finish. 
  Trousers and blouse were a little more of a problem, but finally he compromised on items of a distinct military cut; both were black and unembellished, providing, he hoped, an ascetic, spiritual tone to temper the military aura.

  Etidorhpa or The End of the...

  The Best, most complete version of this cult classic. 
  First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It starts with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest, who came to unveil his past as a member of a secret society which he betrayed; his punishment for this? A journey inside the hollow earth, to slowly abandon his humanity and to be a keeper of knowledge and something else... A journey to ETIDORHPA. 
  To say this is an early science fiction narrative wouldn't be enough, to add that this is a fantastic story about an initiate’s journey to the earth's interior, a compendium of scientific hypothesis that goes from geology to metaphysics, an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men; that would, at least, be a better example to describe this singular work, inasmuch as this great narration contains multiple layers of interpretation. 
  This Extended Edition includes:Three extra chapters from a 1901 edition (not found on other modern reprints!)Five pages of an incomplete Etidorhpa sequel by John Uri Lloyd.Fully illustrated. 65B&W illustrations. Including all illustrations from previous editions 
  Can you discover the hidden messages in Etidorhpa?
