Summary

Eugène Sue's monumental work, 'The Wandering Jew' (Vol. 1-11), is a captivating and complex saga that intertwines historical fiction, social commentary, and elements of the supernatural. Originally published in serial form, this epic tale follows the adventures of seven protagonists as they encounter the enigmatic figure of the Wandering Jew across various European settings. Sue's descriptive prose immerses the reader in a vividly detailed world, rich with both realism and mysticism. The intricate plot weaves together themes of redemption, revenge, and societal injustice, making it a compelling read for those interested in 19th-century literature. The author's ability to delve deep into the human psyche and explore moral dilemmas adds depth to the narrative, making it a thought-provoking experience for readers. Eugène Sue's personal experiences as a political activist and his passion for social reform are evident in the novel's themes of poverty, exploitation, and the struggle for justice. His commitment to addressing social issues through his writing gives 'The Wandering Jew' a timeless relevance, resonating with readers of all generations. I highly recommend this masterpiece to those who appreciate intricate storytelling, profound character development, and thought-provoking social commentary.

    Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her gumshoe ghost team up to solve the stunning mystery at the heart of  a so-called "madwoman's" self-portrait in this all-new installment from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle. 
 
 
 
While gathering a collection of vintage book cover paintings for a special event in her quaint Rhode Island bookshop, Penelope discovers a spooky portrait of a beautiful woman, one who supposedly went mad, according to town gossip. Seymour, the local mailman, falls in love with the haunting image and buys the picture, refusing to part with it, even as fatal accidents befall those around it. Is the canvas cursed? Or is something more sinister at work? 
 
 
 
For answers, Pen turns to an otherworldly source: Jack Shepard, PI. Back in the 1940s, Jack cracked a case of a killer cover artist, and (to Pen's relief) his spirit is willing to help her solve this mystery, even if he and his license did expire decades ago.

    “Think of a darker, more aggressive version of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. . . . Filled with wicked mischief and dark dares.” — Kansas City Star 
From Clive Barker, the great master of horror and the macabre, comes a brilliant and truly unsettling tour de force of the supernatural—a terrifying work that escorts the reader on an intimate and revelatory journey to uncover the shocking truth of the battle between Good and Evil. 
“Burn this book!” 
So warns Jakerbok, the spellbinding narrator of this fabulously original “memoir,” a tale of good and evil deliberately “lost” for nearly six hundred years. Jakerbok is no ordinary soul; he is a minion of hell with a terrifying plan to cast the world into darkness and despair—a plan thwarted by a young apprentice of Johannes Gutenberg who buried the one and only copy of this damnable manuscript that his master printed in 1438. 
Compelling and direct, Jakerbok shares the secrets of his life, going back centuries to recall the events that shaped his childhood, including the traumas he suffered at the hands of his parents, super demons themselves. He explains how he rose from “minor” to “major” demon status, and gleefully reveals his nefarious plot to “invade” the minds and hearts of unwitting humans everywhere thanks to the ingenious Gutenberg and his invention. “Burn this book!” he advises throughout—a taunt, a warning, and a command that will actually unleash the evil with which he has hidden in every word and every page, infusing the very ink and paper upon which they are printed. 
Inventive and irresistible, Mister B. Good reaffirms Clive Barker is one of our most brilliant and original voices, an artist with a keen insight into mysteries deep within the human heart.

    "What killed him?" asked Reynard. 
"We don't know it seems like it may have been a dark enchantment," said Death. 
"Oh?" said Reynard, "Yes what sort of enchantment?" 
"We are reading up on it in our library of enchantments," said Death. 
A grim reaper walked out of a dark portal between the dimensions of the living and the dead. 
"Dante, hi," said Death to the reaper who was his assistant. 
"Hi, Blake," said Dante the reaper. 
"Anything new?" asked Death. 
"Yes we found the spell," said Dante. 
"What was it?" asked Death. 
"It came from the Book of Death," Dante said. 
"You have a book?" said Reynard. 
"No, its not my book! It's the Egyptian Book of the Dead," said Death. 
"It's real?" asked Reynard. 
"Yes," said Dante. 
"Is it a rogue reaper killing people?" asked Reynard. 
"No it could be anyone it was lost ages ago?" said Death. 
"Where?" asked Reynard. 
"We don't know?" said Death. 
"How could you lose a cursed book?" asked Reynard shocked. 
"We don't know it was lost," said Death. 
Reynard understood, but felt no comfort that a killer had it now.
