![]() The stories in Told by the Dead-his first new collection since Ghosts & Grisly Things (1998)-were written from as early as 1968 to as late as 2001, while The Darkest Part of the Woods is Campbell's first supernatural novel since The House on Nazareth Hill (1996), itself perhaps the most accomplished haunted house novel ever written.Ĭampbell's Lovecraftian apprenticeship, embodied in the engaging but insubstantial Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants (1964), gave little indication that, in well under a decade, he would evolve into one of the most subtle, evocative, and quietly terrifying writers in modern weird fiction, but that transformation was complete in Demons by Daylight (1973), a volume that in many ways remains the pinnacle of his work as a short story writer. The appearance of a new short story collection and novel by Ramsey Campbell offers a convenient opportunity to survey his nearly four decades as a professional author, for these volumes themselves encapsulate many of the distinguishing features of Campbell's multifarious work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This comprehensive eBook presents the complete works of Pliny the Younger, with beautiful illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

First Time in paperback in Very Good Plus condition. The fourth in the saga of the Phenwick women. ![]() ![]() A Popular Library paperback Gothic Romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Morris Mamet, was a labor lawyer, and his mother, Lenore June Silver Mamet, was a Mamet’s parents divorced in 1958. Those include Uncle Vanya, an experience that Ben Brantley, who saw it in Washington, described in The New York Times as among the happiest of my theatergoing life, and A Streetcar Named. Like the cradling hull of some great ship, the decaying theatre seems to transport the players into another realm and indeed uniting Malle, Gregory and Shaw ( My Dinner with Andre) with the delicate genius of Chekhov is surely a match made in Heaven. David Alan Mamet was born November 30, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. ![]() The power of the performances-especially Wallace Shaw as the despondent Vanya, and Julianne Moore as the lovely, yet elusive Yelena, object of his defeated desire-illuminate every frame, and Malle's precise cinematic eye turns on the intensity of a character's single look, creating an imaginative, highly detailed and beautifully tailored film from the simple fabric of shadow and passion. Moving seamlessly from the casual conversations of the actors and guests, who converge upon the derelict splendour of the New Amsterdam on 42nd Street, into the first lines of David Mamet's contemporary adaptation, Vanya on 42nd Street is a sheer delight on every level. In 1994, director Louis Malle introduced his camera, capturing in intimate simplicity the magical transformations of this legendary theatrical experience. Since 1989, Andre Gregory has directed rehearsals of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' at a disused theatre in New York with audiences of no more than thirty sharing the ever-evolving work, and the stage, with the players. ![]() ![]() ![]() Harley was a criminal, then an anti-heroine. It was not a hit at first, but Harley came back a few years after the end of her first solo series to team up with Catwoman and Poison Ivy (forming the Gotham City Sirens). She left Joker behind and became a solo criminal. She became Harley Quinn and, after having been injected with a special formula by Poison Ivy, she got new abilities, such as immunity to toxins and enhanced strength and agility. Assigned to her first position at Arkham Hospital, she will discover, deep in the asylum, something dangerous and alluring, something quite unlike anything else she has ever known before: The Joker. Years later, Harleen has put her past behind her and used her intelligence and ambition to escape her childhood of poverty with a career in psychiatry. But there, pursued into the Funhouse by the men who brutalized her father, she beheld unimaginable horrors. That night she ran away to the safest place she could think of: Coney Island amusement park. ![]() Here was her story at the beginning, as told in the Mad Love comics: When she was only seven years old, Harleen Quinzel witnessed her father being beaten up by thugs, and then arrested by the police. ![]() She became a recurring character on the show and, because of her popularity, she made the transition to paper, joining the Batman comic book canon seven years later. Harley Quinn is a rarity in the Comic Book World because she was created on TV by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm in Batman: The Animated Series, in 1992. ![]() |
