Fear Stalks the Village (Murder Mystery Classic)

This lost classic--the world-famous suspense story from which Alfred Hitchcock created his 1938 movie masterpiece--has been rediscovered by Edgar Award-winning mystery expert Otto Pensler.

A chilling classic thriller from the 1930s in which a young woman is stalked about an isolated country house by a murderer “Astonishing and diabolical shock. . . Required reading” — New York Herald Tribune The Summit—a mansion buried deep in the countryside, on the Welsh Borders. Somewhere outside, a murderer lurks in the darkness. Four young women have already been killed, and each murder has been closer to the house than the last. . . Now a storm is coming. Professor Warren decides to batten down the hatches for the night—no one may come in or go out until morning. But what if the killer is already inside? This atmospheric classic brought Ethel Lina White to the attention of the world and went on to be adapted for the screen three times (1946, 1961, 1975). A creepy, gothic thriller, this is another sensational rediscovery of the classic crime genre. The author, Ethel Lina White, was one of the best-known crime writers of the 1930s and 40s, ranking alongside greats of the Golden Age such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Many of her thrillers were adapted for film, most famously The Lady Vanishes (originally titled The Wheel Spins) which became one of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest triumphs as a director.

The Man Who Loved Lions

Гвинтові сходи

Professor Freeman zögerte von Anfang an, seiner jungen Schwägerin Caroline die Stelle als Spielleiterin an der Abbey School zu überlassen. Er rieb sich mit der Ferse über den Spann, kratzte sich an der Wange, biss auf die Nägel und durchlief im Allgemeinen die ganze Skala der nervösen Manierismen, für die er seine beiden kleinen Söhne schimpfte. Wenn das praktische Geschlecht - vertreten durch seine Frau und seine Schwägerin - ihn mit logischen Einwänden bedrängte, war er nicht in der Lage, seine Bedenken zu begründen. "Das ist so ein Hin und Her", beschwerte er sich bei seiner Frau. "Du überträgst die Tatsache, dass unsere geliebte Närrin" - er lächelte Caroline liebevoll an - "einen Job sucht und jemand, der in Wiltshire wohnt, mit jemandem Tee trinkt, der sie mit jemandem in Kontakt bringen kann, der ihr Arbeit anbieten kann."
