Carmilla, by J. Sheridan LeFanu
The classic lesbian vampire tale, in a new annotated edition. Published by CEB Pubs.
The Grand Cañon on the Colorado, by John Muir
John Muir was a founding member of the Sierra Club, and his books and essays were important factors in the movement for wilderness preservation. Muir’s short book on the Grand Canyon is presented here in an annotated version, illustrated with spectacular new color photographs. Published by CEB Pubs.
The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Perhaps Doyle’s second best-
The New Revelation, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (The Annotated, Exposed, and Debunked Edition)
Later in life, Doyle developed a strong attachment to the Spiritualist movement. Unfortunately, the critical thinking skills he brought to his medical practice and fiction writing somehow failed him, and he was apparently happy to accept even the flimsiest evidence if it appeared to support the idea of life after death and spirit communication. This book was one result. Very heavily annotated, this edition preserves Doyle’s text, but adds copious notes (the notes very nearly exceed the original text) and a new Afterword. If you’re curious about Spiritualism and the ways in which con artists and tricksters were able to swindle gullible clients, this edition of Doyle’s book is just what you’re looking for. Published by CEB Pubs.

A new edition of H.G. Wells’ classic novella, including a large number of explanatory notes.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson’s horror novella is presented here in a carefully edited, fully annotated electronic edition. Henry Jekyll’s attempt to purge the evil from humanity by administering a potent chemical mixture to himself backfires, and instead of becoming a purer, more angelic man, he finds himself transformed into the sensual, heartless beast, Edward Hyde. Then he discovers that one of the ingredients is no longer effective, and he may be trapped in Hyde’s murderous persona for good. Published by CEB Pubs.
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
Most of what we now consider vampire lore actually comes from Bram Stoker’s novel, including shape-
John Dene of Toronto, by Herbert Jenkins
This delightful novel introduces the rather exasperating Canadian scientist, adventurer, and political annoyance, John Dene, as he wends his way through the World War I era British Admiralty with a new submarine design he’s convinced will turn around the war at sea, but only if he’s given command and allowed to use his own crew. While he’s setting this up, he has to deal with an annoying German spy, finds himself romancing his secretary, and dealing with the mysterious Department Z and it’s chief operative, Malcolm Sage. It’s all very mysterious, particularly when Dene seems to undergo a complete change of personality, and then gets himself kidnapped, forcing Sage to come to the rescue. Annotated edition, published by CEB Pubs.
Malcolm Sage, Detective, by Herbert George Jenkins
In this post World War I novel, John Dene has been made a baronet, and with the connivance of his wife, decides to set up his old Section Z operative, Malcolm Sage, in the private detective business. This volume is something of a cross between a novel and a short story collection, and very entertaining. Sage is a “scientific” investigator, not to mention generally rather annoying, and the police are, following British mystery tradition, rather less competent than their real-

The Lair of the White Worm, by Bram Stoker
The Lair of the White Worm was Bram Stoker’s final work, and is certainly one of the strangest. The “worm” is an ancient dragon, dwelling deep in a well on the estate called Diana’s Grove. Perhaps. Or perhaps the estate’s owner, Lady Arabella March, is a demonic shape-

King Solomon’s Mines, by H. Rider Haggard
The story that introduced Haggard’s most famous character, Allan Quatermain, to the reading public. While not chronologically the first of the Quatermain stories, this is the book that started it all, as the legendary African hunter leads a small expedition to a remote region of Africa and rediscovers King Solomon’s ancient diamond mines. Problems with witch finders and a usurping African king complicate matters.
Ivanhoe, by Sir Walter Scott
An annotated edition of Scott’s story of chivalry, Norman/Saxon conflict, political intrigue, and family conflict. Robin Hood makes an appearance, as do Prince John, Richard the Lion Heart, a nice collection of Norman barons and knights, and some beautiful women. Ivanhoe is heroic, the villains are nasty, and knighthood is in full flower. Published by CEB Pubs.
Tom Brown’s Schooldays, by Thomas Hughes
Annotated edition of Thomas Hughes’ story of Rugby School during the tenure of Dr. Thomas Arnold as headmaster. This edition has proven popular for classroom use where schools permit the use of electronic reading devices.

Thoughts on the Devil and Various Cults, by Rabbi Yaakov ben Avrohom
Originally written in 1990, during the satanic cult scares, this slender volume looks at cults in general, Satanism, and whether there is even a reason to believe in an actual devil. The author’s general opinion seems to be that there isn’t, and having a devil really serves as little more than an excuse for bad behavior.
