"The Red Room" is a short story written by H. G. Wells. First published in the 1896 edition of "The Idler" magazine, it is a quintessentially Gothic tale about a man who spends a night in a supposedly haunted room in Lorraine Castle in an attempt to disprove the legends surrounding it. This thrilling tale constitutes a must-read for fans of Gothic literature and Wells' seminal work, and it would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
“This installment is all about impossible escapes and elusive spycraft….Another hit in this knockout thriller series featuring nonstop danger, casually clever descriptions of exotic locales, evolving characterization, and evenhanded sociopolitical commentary. Recommended for every beach bag.” —Booklist In the newest international thrill ride from New York Times-bestselling author Ridley Pearson, John Knox and Grace Chu, the incomparable and often incompatible duo, team up again, this time in the exotic “city between two worlds,” Istanbul. What’s it like to see yourself in a picture you never knew was taken? John Knox is an expert at surveillance and delicate, international dealings. So he is understandably thrown when David “Sarge” Dulwich, his contact at Rutherford Risk, hands him a photo of a transaction he recently facilitated in the Middle East. More curious to him, he’s shown that photo while in the Red Room, the private security company’s highly secure underground bunker, where eavesdropping is impossible and privacy ensured. Why all the cloak-and-dagger? Knox is pressured into accepting a job as an art broker in the mysterious Istanbul, a city situated on two continents where East meets West and Islam meets Christianity. It is a melting pot of spies, terrorists, and conflicting interests. Teamed with smart, quick, and fearless Grace Chu, Knox must navigate a murky operation, the only goal of which is to spend five minutes in the proximity of a man they’ve never met. Why? What can it possibly matter? And why are so many others bound and determined to see it never happens—at any cost?
High school baseball isnt just all fun and games. From selecting team members and organizing practices to all the drama of game day both on and off the field, having success in high school sports takes commitment, preparation, and hard work. And for the student-athletes to have success, it takes a dedicated coach to lead them forward. In The Red Room, author and coach Tom Guzick provides a behind-thescenes look at his thirty-one-year career coaching high school baseball, and he shows how his inspirational job of coaching has evolved over the years. Focusing on his time as the coach for the Pottsville Area High School JV baseball team and chronicling the journey along the way, Coach Guzick takes you into the coaching room and through practices, travels, and games so you can see what it takes to help student-athletes both grow and mature on the field, in the classroom, and in life. High school sports is as much about winning the game as it is about winning at life and being successful with the tools learned. Coach Guzicks chronicle of six hundred games, three hundred bus trips, and more than twelve hundred practice sessions will help student-athletes, coaches, and sports fans recognize all the dedication and hard work that go into hitting a home run.
"I'll tell you what, Ygberg, I believe one has to be very unscrupulous if one wants to get on in the world." That's how The Red Room could be summarised through one of its sentences. Through a number of cultural workers Strindberg asks the question of how life should be lived. As a young person, you can pretend to be an ardent idealist; as an older, somewhat sober person, you can come to realise that what you from the beginning thought to be idealistic may not really be. Through its straightforward language The Red Room (1879) is often called the first modern novel in Swedish. It constitutes a representation of Stockholm in the 1870s and is known for its depictions of the urban environment as well as its satire. The book is an attempt to stand by the lower classes by humorously attacking the hypocrisy of the higher classes. The Red Room was described as dirt by contemporary critics, but it was an immediate success. This edition of The Red Room constitutes the first novel in the cluster text style, which could be 20 percent better than ordinary texts, and is intended to function as a kind of survey for how we look at text, reading and book design. This book, in Swedish, was made as an entry for Svensk bokkonst, which every year rewards good examples of book design. The winners get to participate in Stiftung Buchkunt's Best Book Design from all over the World which in German is called Schönste Bücher aus aller Welt. This difference captures an important gap. Book design has long been about designing beautiful books. Now we'll see how Svensk bokkonst and possibly Stiftung Buchkunst see this. What do you think? Should we read cluster texts? You will get an answer to that question by reading this edition of The Red Room. PLEASE NOTE that the text in this book, i.e. cluster text, cannot be reflown and therefore needs to be read on tablets/screens at least 13 centimetres wide, which can handle line lengths of 95 characters (i.e. smaller screens are not suitable).
Darren and his family had just gotten back from their vacation when they received a phone call from Darren's Aunt Matilda. "Darren,” Matilda said, “your Uncle Henry was found dead in the wine cellar. I really need you to come by the mansion and help me straighten out my affairs. You are the only one I can trust with this matter. I hope your family doesn't mind if you come to stay with me for a while until I get this all sorted out." “I will talk it over with my wife tonight, and I don't anticipate any problems,” Darren replied. “Just get some rest, and I'll be there in the morning to start the process." “I feel so much better knowing that you'll be helping me out. I know your Uncle Henry would've wanted it that way,” said Matilda. “Henry was always proud of your accomplishments. He cared about you so much that he wanted you to have the mansion should he ever leave us. What do you think about that Darren?” Before Darren had a chance to reply she interjected, “Before you say a word, there are no living relatives besides you and I, and we both know that my age and my health would not allow me to take on the huge task of making sure the mansion is in tip-top shape. Your family belongs here. I know this place has a horrid past, but maybe you and your family can bring many years of happiness to it.” She paused for a moment, “Your Uncle should've never gotten mixed up in the occult with his father Merlin. Henry said that if we were to get married someday he would give up his father's wicked ways. I was so naïve and in love with him… I didn't see the secrets that he kept from me until it was too late. “Since the death of your uncle, I have now discovered hidden passages in some of the rooms that I never knew existed. The Red Room on the east side has a large pentagram in the middle of the floor and a table with blood stains on it—which I assume was used for human sacrifices. I also noticed when I touched the walls, there was heavy padding covering them, and the door was thick with blood. I would imagine the padding was done to soundproof the room so that if any visitors came by and happened to pass the Red Room, they wouldn't be able to hear any screams.” She hesitated. "Darren, you're not going to believe this, but I found a diary Henry was keeping about the rituals that took place inside the Red Room… including all the gory details. The number of people that died inside that room is inconceivable… I just can't believe I knew nothing about what went on. “I did notice that the door was always kept locked. But whenever I would ask the maid, she would tell me that it was locked because Henry and his father were working on a breakthrough invention. Apparently, it would bring the family a great fortune and they didn't want anyone to steal their secret. “So, me, being the naïve person that I was, I just left it at that and never brought it up again. If only I had been the kind of wife who knew all of her husband's business, I might have been able to stop my husband from getting involved and moving away from this horrid mansion. My husband may still be alive today...” Matilda composed herself and continued. “The damage is done. Now that Henry's father is gone too, there is no one to carry on their murderess deeds. It's all up to you, Darren, to destroy any remaining books, diaries, and anything else that could conjure up an evil presence. Please hurry, I can't bear to spend another night alone in this place!” “I’ll board the next flight to Savannah, I promise,” Darren said, trying to comfort his distraught Aunt. He could hear her breathe a sigh of relief. “Oh, that sounds wonderful! Thank you…” Her tone then turned somber. “Listen… Henry always was very protective of you. This was because he knew that you were the only true heir to the mansion. You had no idea—no one did—that your uncle had planned for you to take his place. “You see when you were a little boy, Henry would enter the Red Room as you slept and perform certain rituals that went unnoticed until his passing. I only know now because of his diary. It was written on the very last page as if the process was complete and it was your destiny to take over.” Darren chuckled a bit, “Matilda, there is no way my uncle would have the power to choose another human being’s destiny! This is all hogwash, and that's all it can be. I'll prove it to you when I arrive! We'll go through each room in the mansion, and I'll read all of his writings to show you that it's all just words. There is no way there is any truth to any of this.” “Real murders were committed in the Red Room, Darren. I have seen the blood,” Matilda replied. Darren shrugged it off, “Please get some rest. I'll be there before noon tomorrow, and I'll put all your fears to rest once and for all.” Matilda took his advice and tried to sleep it off. It only took about an hour before she had fallen into a deep sleep. Suddenly Matilda's bed began shaking violently and she could hear screams coming from the Red Room. The voices of Henry and his father were telling her she would die before sunset. Matilda jumped out of bed and ran to the door only to find that it was locked. She screamed and beat on the door, hoping that the maid would hear her. Little did she know, the maid had already met her end. Henry's ghost came into her room and summoned her to the Red Room. The maid’s will wasn't strong enough to resist his force. She rose from her bed and followed the voice to the Red Room. Henry and his father Merlin were waiting for her there. Tears were flowing down Matilda’s cheeks and her body was trembling as she lay in her bed. All she wanted was to run out of her room and out of the mansion, but her fate was already sealed. She took a deep breath and repeated to herself, “There are no ghosts in this place…there are no ghosts in this place...there are no ghosts in this place…" All of a sudden, the room grew silent. She slowly approached the door and turned the knob. The door opened without hesitation. Matilda slowly stepped out of her room and started walking towards the Red Room. As she inched closer, her heart was beating out of her chest. She knew that if she could make it past this room, she could run down the stairs and out the door and never return. However, Henry and Merlin could not allow the authorities to find out their secrets. Just as Matilda's foot was dead center of the Red Room, the door flew open. Matilda screamed at the top of her lungs and tried to run, but it was as though someone was holding her back. Matilda was frozen with fear and bewilderment. She had really thought she could make it to the front door and never return to the mansion again. Matilda's eyes were blinded by a bright light coming from the Red Room. A strong force whipped Matilda's frozen body into the room and slammed the door behind her. She was never heard from again.

"The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy", is an 1842 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, hosts a masquerade ballwithin seven rooms of the abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. Poe's story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the titular disease. The story was first published in May 1842 in Graham's Magazineand has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price.
