Andersen's Fairy Tales

Anderson Castle

Archie is seventeen years old and lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, he loves reading horror books but, unlike his friends, he has a special power: he is a psychic, he can foresee the future and he can sense things that the human consciousness ignores. One day he receives a letter, without the return address, that informs him about the mysterious death of a distant relative from England, Lord Archibald Anderson III. The Lord appointed Archie as his only successor, and bequeathed an ancient castle near London to him, on condition that the boy arrives at the manor house strictly before the 31st of October, without explaining the reason. Archie arrives at Anderson Castle in company of three classmates: the funny and affable Penny, the cocky womanizer Rigger, and the snob and very rich Daphne. The four friends are welcomed by a man named Frank, who introduced himself as Archie’s uncle, the deceased Lord’s brother. However, the uncle seems eager to throw them out before the Halloween’s night begins. The four friends find out very soon that the castle is actually haunted by furious demonic ghosts that will try to kill them in every way, and that Lord Archibald’s death is linked to the mystery of Anderson Castle. Anderson Castle is a fantasy horror for teenagers, intentionally ironic, and its theme is typical of the ‘Haunted’ series, the haunted house with ghosts, following the novel series ‘Goosebumps’ from R.L. Stine. The whole novel is a tribute to the book The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde, since it follows its irony, the soft horror and the funny situations. Hamlet by William Shakespeare is another book often cited: it’s not a coincidence that the title of every chapter sums up the happenings in Anderson Castle with a phrase from this famous tragedy. The third important point is the exorcism of death. The four protagonists are threatened by supernatural beings that will bring each of t

The Anderson Tapes: The Third Deadly Sin, The Fourth Deadly Sin, And The Anderson Tapes (The\edward X. Delaney Ser.)

The explosive Edgar Award–winning debut novel—told entirely through surveillance recordings, eyewitness reports, and other &“official&” documents—by New York Times bestselling author Lawrence SandersNew York City.

Anderson's Alice: Walter Anderson Illustrates Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Among Walter Anderson's best-loved books, An Alphabet and Robinson: The Pleasant History of an Unusual Cat are much admired by children and parents, and have long been given as special gifts emblazoned with Anderson's unique art. In that vein and long in demand is this revived edition of Anderson’s Alice, which carries the renowned artist's visual translation of Lewis Carroll's classic story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Anderson's Alice, though, is no Victorian doll as she is in the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, Arthur Rackham, and elsewhere. Instead, Anderson represents Alice as an adventurer, capturing her spirit and her energy in bold lines. In Anderson's Alice: Walter Anderson Illustrates “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” ninety-two pen-and-ink drawings accompany the complete text of Lewis Carroll's original narrative. Anderson (1903–1965) drew them alone late at night as he recovered from an illness, and he considered them to be translations of words into visual images rather than illustrations. The story of Alice brought him comfort and inspiration, and he placed her wonderland close to his own homeland by localizing Alice's environment with backgrounds featuring the kinds of wildflowers and crabs that are native to the Gulf Coast. Walter Anderson, often intensely private within his community of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, observed and wrote about nature and produced thousands of drawings and watercolors of the plant and animal life on the Mississippi Coast. These show his strangely beautiful style and a rich and unchecked imagination. With these artistic gifts, Anderson infuses new life into Lewis Carroll's well-loved characters, who have delighted generations of children and adults.

Andersonville

Readers of Stephen King and Joe Hill will devour this bold, terrifying new novel from Edward M. Erdelac. A mysterious man posing as a Union soldier risks everything to enter the Civil War's deadliest prison--only to find a horror beyond human reckoning. Georgia, 1864. Camp Sumter, aka Andersonville, has earned a reputation as an open sewer of sadistic cruelty and terror where death may come at any minute. But as the Union prisoners of war pray for escape, cursing the fate that spared them a quicker end, one man makes his way into the camp purposefully. Barclay Lourdes has a mission--and a secret. But right now his objective is merely to survive the hellish camp. The slightest misstep summons the full fury of the autocratic commander, Captain Wirz, and the brutal Sergeant Turner. Meanwhile, a band of shiftless thieves and criminals known as the "Raiders" preys upon their fellow prisoners. Barclay soon finds that Andersonville is even less welcoming to a black man--especially when that man is not who he claims to be. Little does he imagine that he's about to encounter supernatural terrors beyond his wildest dreams . . . or nightmares.Advance praise for Andersonville "Erdelac makes a heady brew out of dreadful true events, angel and demon lore, secret societies, and the trappings of Southern gothic novels. This is thoughtful horror at its best, and not at all for the faint of heart."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)"The true story of Andersonville is one of unimaginable horror and human misery. It's a testament to his unmatched skill as a storyteller that Edward M. Erdelac is not only able to capture that horror but to add another level of supernatural terror and reveal that the darkest evil of all resides in the human soul. Highly recommended to fans of horror and history alike."--Brett J. Talley, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of That Which Should Not Be and He Who Walks in Shadow "Andersonville is a raw, groundbreaking supernatural knuckle-punch. Erdelac absolutely owns Civil War and Wild West horror fiction."--Weston Ochse, bestselling author of SEAL Team 666"Edward M. Erdelac is a master of historical reinvention. In Andersonville, he peels away the façade of history to reveal the horror and sacrifices that led to the end of the Civil War. Clandestine operations, mystical battles waged unseen, and unlikely heroes combine to save a nation, not only from itself but from the demonic forces threatening to tear the whole of existence asunder. Forget what you know about the War Between the States, this is the story we should have been taught."--Tim Marquitz, author of the Demon Squad series"If you took a tale of atmospheric horror by Ambrose Bierce and infused it with the energy of Elmore Leonard, you would come close to what Edward Erdelac has accomplished with Andersonville. But even that combination would sell the novel short. What Erdelac has done is not just splice genres together but create his own voice in telling of the horrors, real and supernatural, inhabiting the most infamous prison camp of the Civil War. This is U.S. history seen through the eyes of the tortured dead, told with amazing skill by an author who knows how to create genre literature with a purpose."--C. Courtney Joyner, author of Shotgun and Nemo Rising

Andharyatra: अंधारयात्रा

हजारो वर्षांच्या तात्त्विक चिंतनानंतरही मानवाला काल स्वरूप समजलेले नाही. मात्र कालाने त्याच्या अनुभूतीवर घातलेल्या मर्यादा प्रथमपासून स्पष्ट आहेत. मानवाला कालमार्गावरून हलता येत नाही; येणारा एक एक क्षण त्याच क्रमाने अनुभवावा लागतो; भूतकाळ हा त्याला केवळ स्मृतिरूपाने उपलब्ध असतो- काळात मागे जाता येत नाही; भविष्यकाळ तर संपूर्ण अज्ञात असतो. पुढेही जाता येत नाही. बुद्धीला जाणवतं की, विश्वाच्या अनंत विस्तारात अनेक आश्चर्ये आहेत, साहसे आहेत...पण ती आपल्यासाठी नाहीत... का आहेत? या संग्रहातल्या कथा कालकल्पनेशी निगडित आहेत. 'अंधारयात्रा' मध्ये मानव आपल्या अल्पायुष्याची कोंडी फोडून विश्वसंचारातले पहिले पाऊल टाकतो; 'चक्रधर' मध्ये अकल्पनीय कालप्रवास आणि कालाचे ऊर्जेत रूपांतराची धाडसी कल्पना आहे; बंदिवासमध्येही कालप्रवास आहे; पण अप्रगल्भ मनावरचा घातक परिणामही आहे... आणि 'शेवटी एक पापणी लवली; शास्त्रकथा अमेदीनीय आयुष्याखेरीज पुरी कशी होईल? त्या कथेतही काल आहे... पण कालाची सापेक्षता आणि स्वनिष्ठता यावर कथा आधारित आहे आणि काळाचे स्वरूपच असे आहे की, आपण रोजच्या जीवनाची गती सोडली की अनपेक्षित अनुभव येतात. या कथाही त्याला अपवाद नाहीत.
