The Mixer

Edgar Wallace

This is an excellent collection of short stories that include The Silk Stockings, Cinema Teaching by Post, A Gambling Raid, and many more.

He shows unfailing ingenuity in relieving of their ill-gotten gains the successful promoters of burglaries, sweepstakes, and financial scoops. Each chapter describes, in Mr. Wallaces best manner, some fresh exploit more daring and original than the last, and so likeable does this engaging villain become that we are positively relieved when, realizing that he has gone far enough, he finally retires from business and escapes abroad.

The Power of Prayer

Max Brand

One of Max Brands greatest gifts as a storyteller is his ability to create unforgettable, larger-than-life characters. Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 - May 12, 1944) was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. This is one of his novels. "The Power of Prayer" (1922) is an unusual and vexing Christmas story in which Gerald Kern, gentleman, gunman and fortune-hunter, must make a fateful choice when his cold-blooded nature and his love of a woman collide. Neatly plotted and briskly told, it illustrates Brands remarkable gift for storytelling. Another great read by Max Brand.

J.U. Giesy, Junius B Smith

Semi Dual was an embodied mind rather than a human in the usual sense. He was a man of outstanding mental abilities, who applied his knowledge to straighten out the excesses and confusions of mortal life on earth.

Another impressive story about Semi Dual, which reveals the new features of the main character.

Kult ciała. Dziennik człowieka samotnego

Mieczysław Srokowski

Powieść erotyczna. Bohaterowie powieści to para kochanków Czesław Bratkowicki i Hanna Złotopolska. Między nimi nie ma romantycznych uniesień. Jest za to namiętność, dzikość, pożądanie. Autor skupia się na seksualnej relacji bohaterów. Powieść wywołała ogromny skandal towarzyski z finałem w sądzie.
