Book excerpt: The young lawyer Peter Martin is invited by his girlfriend to spend Christmas in the family mansion of her parents in the cold lands of the north of Scotland, on the shores of the famous Loch Ness. What seems to be a pleasant gathering of relatives and friends to celebrate some lovely parties, will unexpectedly turn into a terrible nightmare. Screams of horror and despair will soon echo in the labyrinthine corridors of the house. Some of the most prominent members of the family will suffer the fierce attacks of an unknown hidden murderer. The police are bewildered, without a logical lead to follow, and the inhabitants of the house feel helpless. All the occupants of the old mansion are suspects, servants, relatives and friends, even the local police chief, in charge of the investigation, may have his ulterior motives. These bloody crimes evoke an ancient and sordid legend ... Something emerges from the mist is a story from the Suspense and Intrigue Stories collection, a series of stories written by the author in tribute to the Mistress of suspense Agatha Christie.

Download or read book Lud-in-the-Mist written by Hope Mirrlees. This book was released on 2022-05-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The single most beautiful, solid, unearthly, and unjustifiably forgotten novel of the twentieth century ... a little golden miracle of a book." —Neal Gaiman Hope Mirrlees penned Lud-in-the-Mist--a classic fantasy, and her only fantasy novel--in 1926. When the town of Lud severs its ties to a Faerie land, an illegal trade in fairy fruit develops. But eating the fruit has horrible and wondrous effects. "Helen Hope Mirrlees was born in England in 1887. Mirrlees was a close friend of such literary lights as Walter de la Mare, T.S. Eliot, André Gide, Katharine Mansfield, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Bertrand Russell, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and William Butler Yeats. Under her own name, she published three novels: Madeleine— One of Life's Jansenists (1921); The Counterplot (1924); and her 1926 classic fantasy Lud-in-the-Mist, which has acknowledged inspiration to the likes of Neil Gaiman, Mary Gentle, Elizabeth Hand, Johanna Russ, and Tim Powers."--SF Site "Hope Mirrlees' writing, usually underrated, moves between gently crazy humour, poetic snatches, real menace, and real poignancy."—The Encyclopedia of Fantasy

Book Synopsis Iron Butterflies by : Birute Regine

Download or read book Iron Butterflies written by Birute Regine. This book was released on 2010-09-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring and compelling narrative weaves together stories of sixty successful women from all walks of life and throughout the world. The author spent several years in eight countries interviewing dynamic female role models: businesswomen, CEOs, a Congresswoman, a governor, an ex-Prime Minister, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a winemaker, artists, doctors, nurses, and many others. The author calls these women "Iron Butterflies" because they meld a will of iron with the gentle, nurturing touch of a butterfly. With disarming candor, these women talk about their struggles, their fallibilities, and their strengths in the journey to the top of their professions. Forging their leadership from an amalgam of masculine and feminine skills, all of these Iron Butterflies have transformed themselves and in doing so they are contributing to a larger social transformation. A key to this personal and social transformation rests in their ability to address vulnerability in themselves and those around them, and transform it into a crucible of healing, growth, and innovation. Knowing how to deal with vulnerability, in ourselves and with others, evokes feminine skills and values and is a key to the societal change so many are seeking. Critiquing the command-and-control style of leadership, derived from the gladiator concept of male invulnerability, the author convincingly demonstrates how traditional feminine skills and values—such as inclusion, empathy, a holistic perspective, relational skills, and emotional strength—can be applied to empower more people than ever before. Like the sixty Iron Butterflies profiled, leaders in the 21st century will paradoxically embrace vulnerability and durability, creating better working and living relationships for us all.
