Download or read book The Deadly Dowager (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) written by Edwin Greenwood. This book was released on 2016-05-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Dowager Arabella, Lady Engleton announces to her relatives her jolly scheme to restore the family's fortunes by insuring their lives in favor of her grandson and heir, the young Lord Henry, they laugh at her and think her mad. But they won't be laughing for long. Soon she begins to kill them off one by one with sinister mirth and gruesome inventiveness . . . Forgotten today, Edwin Greenwood (1895-1937) was the author of several clever and darkly humorous crime novels that were highly acclaimed by critics and admired by the master of the macabre, Arthur Machen. This edition features a new introduction by Mark Valentine, who argues that although Greenwood's "novels have been largely lost to view, it is high time they delighted a fresh readership," and a reproduction of the original dust jacket art. "Mixes mirth and murder with immense spirit and success ... I am sure that each of the Deadly Dowager's methods will find its warm admirers." - Arthur Machen "Delectable ... it's a positive delight to watch her kill." - "Saturday Review" "Quite the jolliest crime story that has come our way in many moons." - "New York Times"

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book and Hugo and Nebula Award Finalist: This epic chronicle of ten immortals over the course of history “succeeds admirably” (The New York Times). The immortals are ten individuals born in antiquity from various cultures. Immune to disease, able to heal themselves from injuries, they will never die of old age—although they can fall victim to catastrophic wounds. They have walked among mortals for millennia, traveling across the world, trying to understand their special gifts while searching for one another in the hope of finding some meaning in a life that may go on forever. Following their individual stories over the course of human history and beyond into a richly imagined future, “one of science fiction’s most revered writers” (USA Today) weaves a broad tapestry that is “ambitious in scope, meticulous in detail, polished in style” (Library Journal).
