The 7th Ghost Story MEGAPACK®

Fletcher Flora

Welcome to The Seventh Ghost Story MEGAPACK®! Once more we have a wide-ranging assortment of supernatural fiction, with setting across the world – Europe, the Americas, Asia – and across the centuries. You will note that we have a larger than normal number of «Anonymous» stories. No, the authors weren't embarrassed by their contributions. Victorian-era literary magazines and newspapers often ran fiction without crediting the author, or with only vague terms like «A Lady,» initials, or humorous pseudonyms (as with the story by “Q.E.D.” in this volume). Authors later collected their stories in books, and that's when readers discovered who had actually written what. If a story never got reprinted, its author remained a mystery. Modern scholars are still researching these anonymous stories, but many authors will never be properly identified. This time we include: BEAUTIFUL DREAMER, by R.A. Lafferty FROM THE TOMB, by Guy De Maupassant THE VENGEANCE OF A TREE, by Eleanor F. Lewis YOU CAN'T KILL A GHOST, by Frank Belknap Long A FIGHT WITH A GHOST, by Q.E.D.

The Irrepressible Peccadillo: Special Edition

Fletcher Flora

The wayward beauty who comes back to her old hometown to titillate her ex-boyfriend (now a married lawyer) and to blackmail her ex-husband is ripe bait for murder. And murder is just what she gets. Suspicion falls heaviest on the old flame and not on the discarded husband – for very obvious reasons. At the time of the lady's demise, the lawyer was out of his legal mind, befuddled by a number of those potent concoctions known around the cocktail table as gimlets. In the second place, he was squarely on the scene of the crime.... Fortunately, his wife believes him. When her husband is carted off to jail, whe sets out to prove him innocent. "The Irrepressible Peccadillo" is written with all Fletcher Flora’s customary verve and sophistication. To the gripping story of a man on the spot, he adds plenty of wit, sex, and humor – and comes up with a puzzle that will keep the reader guessing to the last page. This special bonus edition includes a classic short story by Fletcher Flora, «The Invisible Gauntlet.»

The Lesbian Pulp MEGAPACK ™: Three Complete Novels

Fletcher Flora

Fletcher Flora enjoyed a long career as a pulp fiction and mystery writer, and among his works we discovered a number of «daring» (for the time – they are quite modest by modern standards) novels of lesbian love (some with crime elements).

If you like your pulp fiction on the steamier side, this is the ebook for you. Included are: Strange Sisters (1954) Desperate Asylum (1955) Take Me Home (1959) If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see the 200+ other entries in the series, covering science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!
