The House of the Black Ring
By FRED. LEWIS PATTEE. $1.50
A story oddly combining humor and horror. It tells of the
squire, a sort of feudal lord, his enemies, his fate and of his
daughter and how she would have her way in love. The weird
influence of The House of the Black Ring dominates the little
"pocket" in the Seven Mountains of Pennsylvania.
The Washington Star: "An unusual combination of the weird and
the humorous . . . absorbing and often thrilling tale. . . . A forest
fire . . . is a dramatic episode which does Mr. Pattee exceptional credit
in the restraint of his treatment and the effectiveness of his climaxes."
N. Y. Evening Sun: "An interesting story . . . piques the reader's curiosity and keeps him reading till the mystery is solved."
Red-Headed Gill
By RYE OWEN. 4th printing. $1.50
Red-Headed Gill is a splendid young country gentlewoman of
Cornwall. Under a weird East Indian influence she is forced
to live over again part of the life of a beauty of the days of Queen
Bess—the famous Gill Red-Head.
New York Sun: "A charming girl whom the reader will watch with
interest to the end. The author manages to transport her back into the
life of her Tudor ancestress over and again naturally, and with great
effect."
New York Times Review: "There is much originality in the plot. The reader's attention is at once enlisted, and is not allowed to flag."
In the Dwellings of the Wilderness
By C. BRYSON TAYLOR. $1.25
A ghost story so plausibly told that many may, like one of the
chief characters, think it might all be explained by natural
causes after all. It tells the astonishing adventures of three
American engineers, excavating in the heart of an Egyptian
desert.
Boston Transcript: "The impression on the reader is so strong that
he finds his grip on the book grow strained in spite of himself."
N. Y. Globe: "Strikes a note of weird horror, and sustains that note page after page. . . . A vividness that makes it difficult to banish the picture from your memory for many a day."
