Wonder Of Women - Murder Stories
Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Murder - An Introduction2 - The Murder In Saltashe Woods by Baroness Orczy3 - A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell4 - In The Dark by Edith Nesbit5 - Was It An Illusion.

The Foundations of Fiction - Paranormal Detective
In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. A crime is committed and the forces of good and the law go to work on deducing and apprehending a culprit. However, when those detectives have some rather special skills that involve the paranormal, stories become something more. Logic becomes elastic as the forces of good come into contact with malevolent and dark forces that harbour evil and ill-will. However, with the aid of the paranormal, the Occult Detective will be getting to the truth in ways that only they were born too.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Paranormal Detective - An Introduction2 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson3 - Mark of the Beast By Rudyard Kipling4 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writing as Dion Fortune5 - John Silence, Physician Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood6 - The Man With No Face by Gertrude Minnie Robins7 - The Dead Hand by L T Meade and Robert Eustace8 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny9 - Ineligible by Aleister Crowley10 - An Expiation by Arabella Kenealy11 - Green Tea by Sheridan Le Fanu12 - The Story of the Green House, Wallington by Allen Upward13 - The House of the Black Evil by Eric Purves14 - The Story of 'The Spaniards', Hammersmith by Kate and Hesketh Pritchard15 - The Murder in an Omnibus by Harold Begbie
