"The Ghost Kings" was H. Rider Haggard's 32nd novel, out of an eventual 58. Written during the years 1906 and '07, it first saw book publication in September 1908. This novel was penned immediately before Haggard set to work on another African adventure tale, "The Yellow God," but of the two, "The Ghost Kings" is the superior creation. It is more exciting and more detailed, with a greater emphasis on fantasy elements and the supernatural. Indeed, with the exception of its South African setting and the inclusion of such real-life characters as the Zulu chief Dingaan (brother of Chaka) and councilor Mopo (both of whom also featured prominently in Haggard's 1892 masterpiece "Nada the Lily"), the tale could almost be a novel of hard fantasy.

In The Ghost King, when the Spellplague ravages Faerûn, old friends and foes alike are caught in the chaos. The blinding light released from the destruction of Crenshinibon burned out the eyes of the mighty Hephaestus, leaving him angry, sullen and defeated. A strand of Mystra's falling Weave released the necromancy of the ruined shard, reviving as apparitions the seven original liches that created it and giving sentience to the dead mind flayer Yharaskrik. Yharaskrik tricks Hephaestus into breathing onto Crenshinibon again, which transforms the dragon into a dracolich. Yharaskrik compels Hephaestus to smash Crenshinibon into his skull, binding them together. Yharaskrik's sentience then binds with Hephaestus/Crenshinibon, the three becoming the Ghost King. [more]

Allies Leben steht Kopf. Na ja, von "Leben" kann nicht unbedingt die Rede sein, denn Allie ist vor Kurzem gestorben. Gerade erst hat sich Allie mehr oder weniger damit abgefunden, ein Teenager-Geist zu sein. Und dann wird sie genau im unpassendsten Moment, den man sich nur vorstellen kann, von einem geheimen Gespenster-Clan gekidnappt. Den eingebildeten Adronema würde sie dafür zu gern die Meinung geigen! Aber verscherzen sollte man es sich mit den mächtigsten Gespenstern der Welt wohl lieber nicht. Außerdem will sie herausfinden, was hinter all dem steckt. Man entführt ja nicht jeden Tag ein unscheinbares Geistermädchen … oder? Ihre größte Hoffnung, aus diesem Affenzirkus zu entkommen, ist Walter. Ob es ihm gelingen wird, sie zu finden und zurück nach Hause zu bringen? "Ghost Your Girl" ist der zweite und finale Band der Dilogie "Ghost Girl". [more]

Once more we have the presentation of a girl of wonderful charm, who through no desire of her own is endowed with mystical properties by the superstitious natives. Mr. Rider Haggard doubtless knows more of the Zulus than any other writer of our day, and he introduces here a picture of that nation under Dingaan which is both vivid and convincing. Their dealings with the heroine, her love, and the renegade European who lives with them, form some of the chief incidents of the book, but it is the love story of the mysterious maiden, of her wanderings in the land of the Ghost Kings--surely one of the weirdest regions Mr. Haggard has ever imagined--of the search of her lover for her, and of their reunion after many strange adventures, which make up a romance of exciting and fascinating interest.

Allie will ihre Teenager-Zeit voll auskosten – und von diesem Plan wird sie auch so eine Kleinigkeit wie ihr Tod nicht abhalten! Allie staunt nicht schlecht, als sie feststellt, dass sie nach ihrem Tod als Gespenst weiter existiert. Zum Glück kann immerhin ihr bester Freund Jake sie sehen und sich mit ihr unterhalten. Als auf ihrer Beerdigung unverhofft Mädchenschwarm Jamie Gordon auftaucht und sogar eine Träne vergießt, geht ihr eine Frage nicht mehr aus dem Kopf: War der mysteriöse und gutaussehende Surfer womöglich heimlich in sie verliebt? Allies Entschluss steht fest, dem gemeinsam mit Jake auf den Grund zu gehen. Bei ihren Nachforschungen stößt sie allerdings nicht nur auf die eine oder andere Überraschung, sondern auch auf einen ziemlich nervigen Gespenster-Jungen, dem sie sich trotz seiner altklugen Art auf unerklärliche Weise verbunden fühlt. Doch Allie muss auf der Hut sein, denn nicht jeder in der Geisterwelt möchte ihr etwas Gutes … "Ghost No Girl!" ist der erste Teil einer Dilogie. Der zweite und letzte Band erscheint am 28.07.2022.

Of all species of ghostly phenomena, that commonly known as "haunted houses" appeals most to the ordinary person. There is something very eerie in being shut up within the four walls of a house with a ghost. The poor human being is placed at such a disadvantage. If we know that a gateway, or road, or field has the reputation of being haunted, we can in nearly every case make a detour, and so avoid the unpleasant locality. But the presence of a ghost in a house creates a very different state of affairs. It appears and disappears at its own sweet will, with a total disregard for our feelings: it seems to be as much part and parcel of the domicile as the staircase or the hall door, and, consequently, nothing short of leaving the house or of pulling it down (both of these solutions are not always practicable) will free us absolutely from the unwelcome presence. There is also something so natural, and at the same time so unnatural, in seeing a door open when we know that no human hand rests on the knob, or in hearing the sound of footsteps, light or heavy, and feeling that it cannot be attributed to the feet of mortal man or woman. Or perhaps a form appears in a room, standing, sitting, or walking--in fact, situated in its three dimensions apparently as an ordinary being of flesh and blood, until it proves its unearthly nature by vanishing before our astonished eyes. Or perhaps we are asleep in bed. The room is shrouded in darkness, and our recumbent attitude, together with the weight of bed-clothes, hampers our movements and probably makes us more cowardly. A man will meet pain or danger boldly if he be standing upright--occupying that erect position which is his as Lord of Creation; but his courage does not well so high if he be supine. We are awakened suddenly by the feel that some superhuman Presence is in the room. We are transfixed with terror, we cannot find either the bell-rope or the matches, while we _dare_ not leap out of bed and make a rush for the door lest we should encounter we know not what. In an agony of fear, we feel it moving towards us; it approaches closer, and yet closer, to the bed, and--for what may or may not then happen we must refer our readers to the pages of this book. But the sceptical reader will say: "This is all very well, but--there are _no_ haunted houses. All these alleged strange happenings are due to a vivid imagination, or else to rats and mice." (The question of deliberate and conscious fraud may be rejected in almost every instance.) This simple solution has been put forward so often that it should infallibly have solved the problem long ago. But will such a reader explain how it is that the noise made by rats and mice can resemble slow, heavy footsteps, or else take the form of a human being seen by several persons; or how our imagination can cause doors to open and shut, or else create a conglomeration of noises which, physically, would be beyond the power of ordinary individuals to reproduce?
