Collected Science Fiction and Ghost Stories (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

COLLECTED SCIENCE FICTION AND GHOST STORIES will allow you to enter strange new worlds as well as revealing to the reader shadowy characters from other or parallel dimensions. The author will introduce you to the PALAIS THEATRE VAMPIRE; take you for an afternoon stroll on an evening when the world comes to an end; or in JUST A STREET IN BROOKLYN, a future world that no longer exists. He will lead you into the darker places beyond THE GLOSSY WHITE DOOR, and through THE EYE OF HORUS, where events in the past can be altered to change the future. THE ZOO KEEPER, CLOCKS and THE PHARAOH'S WISDOM will also reveal the darker side of human emotions. Whether lost in PHANTOM LOVE, solving PUZZLES or dealing with ROMAN LAW, the reader will have the time of their lives exploring weird and wonderful worlds in both time and space, as well as the pleasure of a scary ride into the deeper and mysterious depths of the human mind. Forty two stories to amaze and (hopefully) to scare!

Autor

Paul Morrison, a retired museologist, has also been a writer for most of his life. "I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up with books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE these and the many other books which I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and the more distant past..." Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written.

Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. "I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and also about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed the pyramids. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers." This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, THE PHARAOH, THE SPHINX and THE THREE QUEENS, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres.

Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. "The magnificent views of Hobart and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena."
