Tales of Vampires & Werewolves

It was the exact kind of abode that I had been looking after for weeks, for I was in that condition of mind when absolute renunciation of society was a necessity.

The Vampire Maid (Golden Deer Classics)

In "The Land of the Hibiscus Blossom," Hume Nisbet masterfully weaves an intricate narrative that explores the cultural and natural landscape of the South Seas through the eyes of a young Australian adventurer. The novel is characterized by its lush, evocative imagery and rich symbolic language, reflecting the beauty and complexity of a world both foreign and enchanting. This work, published in the late 19th century, stands out within the context of colonial literature, shedding light on the intersection of adventure, imperialism, and the sensitivities of indigenous life, while capturing the burgeoning romanticism that pervaded the period. Hume Nisbet, a Scottish-born author and painter, traveled extensively through the South Pacific, an experience that profoundly influenced his writings. His background in art is evident in the vivid descriptive passages throughout the novel, where he encapsulates the tropical scenery and the intricate interplay of light and shadow. Nisbet's keen observations of both the landscapes and its peoples provide a unique lens through which readers can engage with the era's complex dynamics between colonizers and indigenous cultures. This book is highly recommended for those interested in colonial narratives, nature writing, and explorations of identity in a postcolonial context. "The Land of the Hibiscus Blossom" offers readers a captivating journey rife with adventure, cultural introspection, and stunning visual prose, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the multifaceted relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Die Todesangst half Charles Tomkins noch mal alle Reserven zu mobilisieren. Endlich erreichte er die Straße. Halb ohnmächtig vor Erschöpfung brach er an der Bordsteinkante zusammen. Tomkins spürte, wie die Hexen ihn packten und hochrissen. Er hatte keine Kraft mehr, um sich zu wehren. Eiskalte Hände legten sich um seinen Hals und drückten erbarmungslos zu. Keuchend versuchte er nach Luft zu schnappen, aber der Würgegriff war zu stark. Seine Lunge, durch den höllischen Lauf schon gepeinigt, schmerzte, als würde sie im nächsten Moment platzen. Wie eine Puppe hing Charles Tomkins in den Händen einer Hexe. Er wollte aufschreien, brachte aber nicht mal ein Krächzen zustande. Schon wallten rote Nebel vor seinen Augen. Er hörte das grelle Lachen seiner Verfolgerinnen wie aus weiter Ferne.
