"Late one night, Laura, Daniel, and Mo find themselves confused and disembodied, blinking under the fluorescent lights of their high school music room. They are greeted by the man they know as their music teacher, who restores the ghostly teens to their corporeal forms with a flick of his fingers and explains: nearly a year ago they went missing from their hometown, the small seaside community of Lovesend, Massachusetts, and have long been presumed dead. Which they are. Desperate to reclaim their lives, the teenagers agree to the terms of a deal that their teacher proposes. Laura, Daniel, and Mo-and a mysterious fourth soul who crossed back over with them-will compete to remain in the mortal realm. They will be given a series of magical tasks; in the meantime, they may return to their families and friends, but they can tell no one where they have been. In the end, there will be winners and losers: Two will remain. Two will return. But their resurrection has attracted the notice of several supernatural figures, all with their own agendas. As Laura, Daniel, and Mo grapple with love, loss, and heartbreak in the lives they left behind, these mysterious others begin to arrive, engulfing Lovesend in danger and chaos, and it becomes imperative that the teens solve the mystery of their deaths to avert the looming disaster"--Provided by publisher.

Fischer Verlag, 1961.Umschlaggestaltung von Thomas Schultz-Overhage unter Verwendung des Bildes: Fritz Baumann, Nacht, 1914.Gesetzt aus der Minion Pro, 16 pt.Henricus - Edition Deutsche Klassik GmbHÜber den Autor:1862 in eine begüterte jüdische Arztfamilie in Wien hineingeboren studiert Arthur Schnitzler selbst Medizin und betreibt nach kurzen Krankenhausjahren eine Privatpraxis, die er mit zunehmender literarischer Tätigkeit immer weiter reduziert. Er lernt Sigmund Freud kennen und begeistert sich für dessen Studien zum Un- und Unterbewussten. Gemeinsam mit Hugo von Hofmannsthal gilt er als Kern der »Wiener Moderne« und ist einer der bedeutendsten Kritiker seiner Zeit. Mit der Novelle »Leutnant Gustl« führt er den inneren Monolog, die seinen Figuren assoziative Reaktionen auf ihre Umwelt ermöglichen, in die deutsche Literatur ein. Seine Montagetechnik verwebt Klischees und vermeintlich individuelle Reaktionen zu einem überindividuellen Typus. Egoistische Flucht vor Verantwortung und Bindungsängste sind zentrale Themen seines umfangreichen Werkes. Nachdem ihm 1921 nach einem Skandal um seinen »Reigen« die Aufführungsgenehmigung entzogen wird, ernennt ihn der österreichische PEN-Club 1923 zu seinem Präsidenten. Drei Jahre später erhält er den Burgtheaterring und gehört zu den meistgespielten Dramatikern auf deutschen Bühnen, als er 1931 in Wien an einer Gehirnblutung stirbt.

"She did not want to be organised at all. She wanted to be solitary and free."This is the story of Jenny Flower, London slum child, who one day, on an outing to the country, meets a Dark Stranger with horns on his head. It is the first day of August-Lammas-a witches' sabbath. Jenny was born on Hallowe'en, and possibly descended from witches herself . . .Reminiscent of Machen's, "The White People", Lucifer and the Child is a tale of witchcraft-or is it? The author does not commit herself; merely stating that the story is open to natural explanation; alternatively, she invites "the willing suspension of disbelief"."There is never any name for the impact of strangeness on the commonplace," Mannin writes. With this sensibility Lucifer and the Child will at last be recognised as a classic of strange fiction and a work to be enjoyed by contemporary lovers of the genre.Once banned in Ireland by the Censorship of Publications Board, Lucifer and the Child is now available worldwide in this splendid new edition from Swan River Press featuring an introduction by Rosanne Rabinowitz and cover by Lorena Carrington.

This title is scarce and hard to find these days. Shaver Mystery Magazine originally was published by the Shaver Mystery Club. This newsletter published the first printed stories on UFOs and was a major forum for debates about the occult, Forteans, and Lemurians. As Ray Palmer promoted it: "dedicated to the further study of the hidden truths as presented in the fact-fiction stories by Richard S. Shaver..." In essence, the Shaver Mystery is a collection of stories in which Shaver claimed to have discovered proof of an evil humanity inunderground caverns. Shaver portrayed an alien race that resided in Earth's caverns before escaping, leaving behind two distinct populations of offspring: the "Teros," a benevolent group of humanoids, and the "Deros," or "detrimental robots," a vile race who tormented and devoured humans. The Deros were especially brutal to women. The tales encouraged the establishment of Shaver Mystery Clubs. This magazine has been formatted from its original version for publication.
