Edgar Pangborn (February 25, 1909 – February 1, 1976) was an American writer of mystery, historical, and science fiction. Edgar Pangborn was born in New York City on February 25, 1909,[1] to Harry Levi Pangborn, an attorney and dictionary editor, and Georgia Wood Pangborn, a noted writer of supernatural fiction. Along with his older sister Mary, Edgar was homeschooled until 1919 and then educated at Brooklyn Friends School. He began music studies at Harvard University in 1924, when he was still only 15 years old, and left in 1926 without graduating. After that he studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, but did not graduate from that school, either. On leaving he publicly abandoned music, shifting his creative focus to writing. His first novel, a mystery called A-100: A Mystery Story, was published under the pseudonym "Bruce Harrison" in 1930. It was not an auspicious or notably successful debut, and showed none of the emotional or stylistic characteristics that became the hallmark of his later work. [more]

The shift is coming soon. Dr. David Carter knows it. However, he is a geologist, so “soon” to him means anywhere from tomorrow to one thousand years from now. People are dying. Doctors Jordan Abellard and Jillian Brookwood are standing at the edge of Super-AIDS. Or are they? They will not be able to figure it out unless they can get an authorization signed, and soon. But they are peons, and no one is paying attention to them. Whole species died at the last polar shift 65 million years ago. Right now, Dr. Becky Sorenson has some seriously mutated frogs in her lab. In Los Angeles, bees are making abnormal columns on the side of the freeways. In Georgia, birds are migrating out of season. It all makes a sick kind of sense when the doctors consider that the last magnetic shift strangely coincides with the dinosaur die-out. And the only similarity in the problems today, is that each is occurring in a “hot spot” a pocket of reverse polarity that tells them all that the shift has arrived. [more]

Der Fernsehautor Larry Baker wird mit seinem Team in ein altes Schloss in England verschlagen, um dort einen Grusel-Film zu drehen... Am Vorabend eines sensationellen TV-Interviews wird auf einen Star, der mit Enthüllungen aus der Filmwelt Hollywoods gedroht hat, ein Bomben-Attentat verübt... Sie war ein faszinierender Rotschopf mit blauen Augen, einer atemberaubenden Figur, einem unberechenbaren Temperament und mehr als den üblichen Erfahrungen in Sachen Liebe. Ausgerechnet ihr musste Al Wheeler begegnen, als er zu klären versuchte, weshalb sich auf einem Friedhof die Leiche eines jungen Mädchens befand, die auf gar keinen Fall dorthin gehörte, obwohl sie ordnungsgemäß in einem Sarg lag... Paul Baker war Beischläfer von Beruf. Als Angestellter einer abgelegenen Sexklinik gab er Nachhilfestunden in Liebe, die sich nur die reichsten der neurotischen Patientinnen leisten konnten. Doch eines Tages ist Baker verschwunden - und mit ihm ein Satz Krankengeschichten... Der Band Der Vampir von Carter Brown (eigentlich Allan Geoffrey Yates; * 1. August 1923 in London; † 5. Mai 1985 in Sydney) enthält zwei Romane um den Polizei-Lieutenant Al Wheeler (Die Tigerin und Attentat auf Georgia) sowie die Romane Der Vampir und Die Sexklinik.

' American Skies ' Have you ever seen so many wonders ? Snowy Mount McKinley under the Alaska skies Mount Saint Elias, majestic Rocky Mountains Wildcat Mountain of White County in Georgia and all those grandiose skies above them from British Columbia to New Mexico, so different and as far as the Oregon and Idaho skies Utah and Arizona skies as well, rainbow alike mirroring nature as if the world were Amazonia only a wishful thinking but yes, just stand for nature !! We're camping for a while in Grand Canyon at the side of the Colorado River in Arizona Nights are splashed with shimmering stars days showing skies playing a heavenly music to the tunes of Chopin's polonaises and waltzes Skies differ from the very blue to rainbow alike constantly on the move, slower or faster, rhythmic Numerous hawks adding to this their own music and of course we ourselves, in our spasms of love which fly up the sky like those hawks are doing We're leaving yet for another long ride through vast spaces of American land as always under the magic and magnetic skies with all their splendid repertoire of music from Chopin to Beethoven's Appassionata from a country music to a modern pop & rock Days are a ride, nights are passionate love Join us whoever you are and as a reward you shall join the stars on the nightly sky as yet another star, perhaps the brightest one Traveling all the way from fabulous California to magic New Jersey perhaps, we don't care bathing lovingly in the Sun on the way with our car speeding on the speedway under American skies tributing Stars and Stripes from Idaho via Nebraska to the Florida's skies Sleeping yet under the great Oklahoma skies and the Mississippi skies, catching stars staying overnight under so many other skies Finally arriving in Miami, basked in the Sun ' American Skies ' by Thaddeus Tadeusz Hutyra Copyright © Thaddeus Hutyra All Rights Reserved [more]

ECHOES of SLAVERY – Volume II During the Depression years between 1936 and 1938, the WPA Federal Writers' Project (FWP) sent out-of-work writers in seventeen states to interview ordinary people in order to document their life stories. Initially, only four states involved in the project (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia) focused on collecting the stories of people who had once been held in slavery. In 1937 the WPA directed the remaining states involved in the project to conduct interviews with former slaves as well. Federal field workers were given instructions regarding the kinds of questions to ask their informants and how to capture their dialects, the result of which may occasionally be offensive to contemporary readers. The field workers often visited the people they interviewed twice in order to gather as many recollections as possible. Sometimes they took photographs of the informants and their dwellings. The completed narratives were then turned over to their state's FWP director for editing and eventual transfer to Washington, D.C. The former slave narratives presented in Volume II - ECHOES of SLAVERY represent a small segment of more than two thousand first-person accounts of actual slave experiences, transcribed in their own words by the FWP and recorded for posterity. These first-person testimonials open a window into the past, enabling contemporary readers a rare opportunity to share the trials, fears, frustrations, hopes, and visions of those individuals caught up in the maelstrom that was 1800’s America. Walk alongside these resolute men and women in ECHOES of SLAVERY - Volume II as they portray the real world in which they struggled and endured. Experience the harsh and often brutal reality of slavery as it really was! [more]
