The Dunwich Horror and Other Stories 3. The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories 4. The Randolph Carter Tales 5. Macabre Stories Description: At the Mountains of Madness and Other Stories Lovecraft's most famous and most terrifying novel is collected here with two of his novellas, The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Thing on the Doorstep, to provide a shocking introduction to the world of Lovecraft's imagination. Set in the Cthulhu mythos, these stories are classics of the gothic tradition. From the investigation of the City of the Old Ones on the Antarctic plateau to the everyday horror to be found in the small New England town of Innsmouth, Lovecraft evokes terror in a way that no other writer can rival. The Dunwich Horror and Other Stories Wilbur Whateley is born in strange circumstances in the small, isolated village of Dunwich. He is shunned by the local community and turns to shadowy rituals and the study of witchcraft. When a ghastly monster is released, it is not just the people of Dunwich who are threatened, but the very existence of the human race... The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories H.P. Lovecraft marries creeping horror and colossal fantasy in his gothic tales. These brilliant narratives show humanity confronted with ineffable creatures and grim geographies, as individuals lift the veil to discover hidden realities. This collection brings together 11 of Lovecraft's short stories, including 'Call of the Cthulhu', 'The History of the Necronomicon' and 'Rats in the Walls', where we encounter ancient and cosmic terrors. The mythologies and landscapes in these tales have inspired countless tales and remain true classics of American literature. The Randolph Carter Tales Most of Lovecraft's tales were standalone and of the short fiction variety, but in the Randolph Carter Tales Lovecraft followed one character through a series of terrifying adventures. This volume includes the novella The Dream-Quest of the Unknown Kadath, The Statement of Randolph Carter, and The Silver Key, amongst other stories. The Randolph Carter stories are some of the most mature and philosophical of any of Lovecraft's fiction. Macabre Stories This collection brings together the unique stories from H. P. Lovecraft's formative years, ranging from the petrifying 'Dagon' through the playful 'Ibid' to the subtle horror of 'The Music of Erich Zann.' Featuring ancient powers, long-buried secrets, and cosmic terrors, Macabre Stories demonstrates the range and depth of Lovecraft's writing. Sometimes shocking, sometimes horrifying, but always engaging, these tales are an impressive example of the master of horror's ability to entertain.16,89 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

Join English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout as they attempt to traverse the globe in just eighty days, all in the pursuit of winning a £20,000 bet. Departing from London on 2 October, they must return by 21 December to secure the winnings, which amounts to half of Fogg's total fortune. Journeying by steamer, rail, and even elephant, the two men will stop at nothing in the pursuit of the prize... will they make it back to London in time? Packed with unforgettable characters, daring deeds, and exciting escapades, this is one of the greatest stories of all time. Journey to the Centre of the Earth Professor Otto Lidenbrock's great adventure begins by chance when a scrap of paper drops out of an ancient book he has just bought. The coded inscription reveals the existence of a passageway leading to the centre of the earth and that the entrance lies within the crater of an extinct volcano in Iceland. The professor travels to Iceland accompanied by his nephew, Axel, a keen young geologist. Together with a Swiss guide, they descend into the bowels of the earth where an amazing prehistoric world awaits them. Written in 1864, Journey to the Centre of the Earth established Verne as a pioneer of science fiction. This edition has been revised and improved for a modern readership. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea In this adventure deep beneath the waves, Professor Arronax, his servant Conseil, and the straight-shooting harpooner, Ned Land, set out in search of a giant narwhal. As the hunt progresses, they receive a shocking revelation: their prey is nothing less than the Nautilus, an advanced submarine piloted by the mysterious Captain Nemo. The adventurers have no choice but to become the vessel's newest crew members. As they help Nemo on his quest, they encounter giant squids, lost cities, and other nautical wonders. Exciting and insightful, Jules Verne's fantastical story is an action-packed tale that demonstrates the unequalled imagination of one of science fiction's greatest writers.

Flappers and Philosophers 5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Tales of the Jazz Age Description: The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby (1925) is F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the American Jazz Age. It is the story of a fundamentally innocent man drawn to his own destruction through infatuation with a girl called Daisy, whose voice is "full of money." After his war service, Jay Gatsby accumulates a fortune from organized crime and invents a legendary new persona for himself. He buys a luxury property on Long Island, across the water from the mansion where Daisy now lives with her husband. He throws extravagant parties to attract her, but her arrival only signals the unravelling of Gatsby's cherished dream. This Side of Paradise Amory Blaine, a wealthy Midwestern boy set on rejecting his upbringing, turns his ambitions to the elite society of the east coast. But as Blaine progresses through a sequence of romantic attachments, the life he longs for continues to elude him. Fitzgerald's debut novel examines the way in which greed, money, and the lust for power can corrupt life, love, and human relationships. The Beautiful and Damned “The magnificent attitude of not giving a damn... and to seek the moment's happiness as fervently and persistently as possible." Anthony and Gloria Patch are a rich and passionate couple who drink and dance away their days in glorious decadence. Gloria is a beautiful and vibrant socialite, while Anthony, a Harvard-educated man who yearns for the finer things in life, is the heir to a great fortune. But as the money starts to run out, the marriage begins to crumble. First published in 1922, The Beautiful and Damned is a brilliant portrait of New York during the Jazz Age, a haunting exploration of the loss of innocence, and above all, a remarkable literary achievement. Flappers and Philosophers F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote many stories during the course of his career. Flappers and Philosophers includes some of his earliest short stories, all published in 1920 and covering a number of themes to which Fitzgerald would return in other stories and in some of his novels. This collection contains eight stories, including one of his most famous, "Bernice Bobs Her Hair.” Among the other stories are "The Offshore Pirate," in which the protagonist falls in love with the pirate who captures her; "Head and Shoulders,” the tale of a couple who undergo a role reversal; and "The Cut-Glass Bowl," about an objet d'art that features in various difficult or tragic events endured by a New York couple. Dating from the beginning of Fitzgerald's career, this entertaining collection reveals an American society on the verge of jumping wholeheartedly into the brilliance of the “Jazz Age." The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Tales of the Jazz Age Benjamin Button is born as an old man, but unlike most people, he grows younger over...12,97 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

Does anyone have experience with self-publishing books?
Yes, I have experience with self-publishing books. I have self-published several books through platforms like Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark. Self-publishing allows for greater creative control and higher royalties, but it also requires a significant amount of marketing and promotion to reach potential readers. It's important to carefully consider factors like cover design, editing, and distribution when self-publishing a book. **
E-books or printed books?
The choice between e-books and printed books ultimately depends on personal preference. E-books offer convenience and portability, allowing readers to carry multiple books in one device. They also often provide features like adjustable font size and built-in dictionaries. On the other hand, printed books offer a tactile and sensory experience that many readers enjoy, and they don't require a screen or battery. Some people also find it easier to retain information from printed books. Ultimately, both formats have their own advantages, and the decision between the two comes down to individual preferences and needs. **

The Classic H. P. Lovecraft Collection 5 Books Box Set - Fiction - Paperback Arcturus Publishing LtdTitle in This Set: 1. At the Mountains of Madness and Other Stories 2. The Dunwich Horror and Other Stories 3. The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories 4. The Randolph Carter Tales 5. Macabre Stories Description: At the Mountains of Madness and Other Stories Lovecraft's most famous and most terrifying novel is collected here with two of his novellas, The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The Thing on the Doorstep, to provide a shocking introduction to the world of Lovecraft's imagination. Set in the Cthulhu mythos, these stories are classics of the gothic tradition. From the investigation of the City of the Old Ones on the Antarctic plateau to the everyday horror to be found in the small New England town of Innsmouth, Lovecraft evokes terror in a way that no other writer can rival. The Dunwich Horror and Other Stories Wilbur Whateley is born in strange circumstances in the small, isolated village of Dunwich. He is shunned by the local community and turns to shadowy rituals and the study of witchcraft. When a ghastly monster is released, it is not just the people of Dunwich who are threatened, but the very existence of the human race... The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories H.P. Lovecraft marries creeping horror and colossal fantasy in his gothic tales. These brilliant narratives show humanity confronted with ineffable creatures and grim geographies, as individuals lift the veil to discover hidden realities. This collection brings together 11 of Lovecraft's short stories, including 'Call of the Cthulhu', 'The History of the Necronomicon' and 'Rats in the Walls', where we encounter ancient and cosmic terrors. The mythologies and landscapes in these tales have inspired countless tales and remain true classics of American literature. The Randolph Carter Tales Most of Lovecraft's tales were standalone and of the short fiction variety, but in the Randolph Carter Tales Lovecraft followed one character through a series of terrifying adventures. This volume includes the novella The Dream-Quest of the Unknown Kadath, The Statement of Randolph Carter, and The Silver Key, amongst other stories. The Randolph Carter stories are some of the most mature and philosophical of any of Lovecraft's fiction. Macabre Stories This collection brings together the unique stories from H. P. Lovecraft's formative years, ranging from the petrifying 'Dagon' through the playful 'Ibid' to the subtle horror of 'The Music of Erich Zann.' Featuring ancient powers, long-buried secrets, and cosmic terrors, Macabre Stories demonstrates the range and depth of Lovecraft's writing. Sometimes shocking, sometimes horrifying, but always engaging, these tales are an impressive example of the master of horror's ability to entertain.16,89 £*Shipping: 2,99 £Secure redirect to the provider

Departing from London on 2 October, they must return by 21 December to secure the winnings, which amounts to half of Fogg's total fortune. Journeying by steamer, rail, and even elephant, the two men will stop at nothing in the pursuit of the prize... will they make it back to London in time? Packed with unforgettable characters, daring deeds, and exciting escapades, this is one of the greatest stories of all time. Journey to the Centre of the Earth Professor Otto Lidenbrock's great adventure begins by chance when a scrap of paper drops out of an ancient book he has just bought. The coded inscription reveals the existence of a passageway leading to the centre of the earth and that the entrance lies within the crater of an extinct volcano in Iceland. The professor travels to Iceland accompanied by his nephew, Axel, a keen young geologist. Together with a Swiss guide, they descend into the bowels of the earth where an amazing prehistoric world awaits them. Written in 1864, Journey to the Centre of the Earth established Verne as a pioneer of science fiction. This edition has been revised and improved for a modern readership. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea In this adventure deep beneath the waves, Professor Arronax, his servant Conseil, and the straight-shooting harpooner, Ned Land, set out in search of a giant narwhal.

Flappers and Philosophers 5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Tales of the Jazz Age Description: The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby (1925) is F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the American Jazz Age. It is the story of a fundamentally innocent man drawn to his own destruction through infatuation with a girl called Daisy, whose voice is "full of money." After his war service, Jay Gatsby accumulates a fortune from organized crime and invents a legendary new persona for himself. He buys a luxury property on Long Island, across the water from the mansion where Daisy now lives with her husband. He throws extravagant parties to attract her, but her arrival only signals the unravelling of Gatsby's cherished dream. This Side of Paradise Amory Blaine, a wealthy Midwestern boy set on rejecting his upbringing, turns his ambitions to the elite society of the east coast. But as Blaine progresses through a sequence of romantic attachments, the life he longs for continues to elude him. Fitzgerald's debut novel examines the way in which greed, money, and the lust for power can corrupt life, love, and human relationships. The Beautiful and Damned “The magnificent attitude of not giving a damn... and to seek the moment's happiness as fervently and persistently as possible." Anthony and Gloria Patch are a rich and passionate couple who drink and dance away their days in glorious decadence. Gloria is a beautiful and vibrant socialite, while Anthony, a Harvard-educated man who yearns for the finer things in life, is the heir to a great fortune. But as the money starts to run out, the marriage begins to crumble. First published in 1922, The Beautiful and Damned is a brilliant portrait of New York during the Jazz Age, a haunting exploration of the loss of innocence, and above all, a remarkable literary achievement. Flappers and Philosophers F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote many stories during the course of his career. Flappers and Philosophers includes some of his earliest short stories, all published in 1920 and covering a number of themes to which Fitzgerald would return in other stories and in some of his novels.

Does anyone have experience with self-publishing books?
Yes, I have experience with self-publishing books. I have self-published several books through platforms like Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark. Self-publishing allows for greater creative control and higher royalties, but it also requires a significant amount of marketing and promotion to reach potential readers. It's important to carefully consider factors like cover design, editing, and distribution when self-publishing a book. **

E-books or printed books?
The choice between e-books and printed books ultimately depends on personal preference. E-books offer convenience and portability, allowing readers to carry multiple books in one device. They also often provide features like adjustable font size and built-in dictionaries. On the other hand, printed books offer a tactile and sensory experience that many readers enjoy, and they don't require a screen or battery. Some people also find it easier to retain information from printed books. Ultimately, both formats have their own advantages, and the decision between the two comes down to individual preferences and needs. **
