Assembled and edited by Julian Hawthorne and first published in 1907, the Old Time English volume of The Lock and…
Key Library features ten classic mysteries and ghost stories by Charles Dickens, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Thomas de Quincey, Charles Robert Maturin, Laurence Sterne, and William Makepeace Thackeray. The Old Time English volume opens with two classic ghost stories from Charles Dickens: the first takes place in the traditional (and titular) "Haunted House," while the second follows the haunting of a railroad, of all places. Then you'll be treated to two stories by Edward Bulwer-Lytton: one a tale of a rationalist investigating a haunted house, and another a tale of the search for the elixir of life itself! Up next is a ghastly story of murder in a small German town from the mind of Thomas de Quincy, followed by a selection from the classic Irish yarn Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Robert Maturin. But not every tale featured here is doom and gloom. In Laurence Stern's "A Mystery with a Moral," you'll be subjected to the eccentric musings of an English parson as he tries to make sense of a mystery that might not even be real. And then in "The Notch in the Axe", William Makepeace Thackeray contemplates the nature of crime and guilt and judgment, reaching some rather Swiftian conclusions himself. Finally, the last two stories, about another murder in a small German town and about a longstanding family curse, respectively, are both written by anonymous writers, as Julian Hawthorne often chose to include in his collections. This volume of The Lock and Key Library is sure to haunt and charm fans of ghost and detective mysteries alike. Full Contents: "The Haunted House" by Charles Dickens "No. 1 Branch Line: The Signal Man" by Charles Dickens "The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain" by Edward Bulwer-Lytton "The Incantation" by Edward Bulwer-Lytton "The Avenger" by Thomas de Quincey Melmoth the Wanderer (selection) by Charles Robert Maturin "A Mystery with a Moral" by Laurence Sterne "The Notch on the Ax" by William Makepeace Thackeray "Bourgonef" by Anonymous "The Closed Cabinet" by Anonymous

"The ghost story has long been a staple of world literature, but many of the genre's greatest tales have been…
forgotten, overshadowed in many cases by their authors' bestselling work in other genres. In this spine-tingling anthology, little known stories from literary titans like Charles Dickens and Edith Wharton are collected alongside overlooked works from masters of horror fiction like Edgar Allan Poe and M. R. James. Acclaimed anthologists Leslie S. Klinger The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes and Lisa Morton Ghosts: A Haunted History set these stories in historical context and trace the literary significance of ghosts in fiction over almost two hundred years--from a traditional English ballad first printed in 1724 up to the science fiction-tinged tales of the early twentieth century." -- Provided by publisher

In 1930 Sinclair Lewis became the first American to win the Nobel Prize for literature, and the 1920 publication of…
Main Street brought him his first serious critical recognition. Born and raised in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, Lewis knew the American heartland as few other writers have. He both loved and despised small towns, and the tension between those feelings permeates this classic novel. The setting is Gopher Prairie, a bastion of prosaic, small-minded, middle-class values. Its newest inhabitant is the beautiful young Carol Kennicott, who dreams of transforming her adopted hometown into an oasis of beauty, refinement, and culture. But Carol is no match for the town's provincialism, and her struggle to overcome the complacency, bigotry, and hypocrisy of Gopher Prairie becomes the author's devastating and satiric take on all small towns.

Before becoming the patron of Lost Generation artists, Gertrude Stein established her reputation as an innovative author whose style was…
closer to painting than literature. Stein's strong influence on 20th-century literature is evident in this 1915 work of highly original prose rendered in thought-provoking experimental techniques.
