Meyer author, The Tudors "Thanks to the skilled craftsmanship of Ella March Chase, the three Grey sisters come vividly to life in Three Maids for a Crown, an intimate portrait of their struggle to survive in the hostile environment of the Tudor court-a world brilliantly recreated in this thoroughly engrossing novel."-Kate Emerson, author of the Secrets of the Tudor Court Series "With lyrical prose, Ella March Chase tells the riveting story of the Grey sisters, from Lady Jane Grey's nine day reign to all that came after. "Chase's prose is engaging, and her rich, detailed portraits of Renaissance women, particularly those of a kindly but haunted Mary I and a vicious, conceited Elizabeth, are unforgettable."- Booklist "High praise to Ella March Chase, who knows her Tudor history, for putting the fascinating and doomed Grey sisters at the center of an ingenious work of fiction."-G. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has written several books about physics and related topics of science.

There’s an extended chapter in July as our wheelchair-bound adolescent hero fights off the werewolf, and some more long ones in November and December as the story comes to a climax. You can see how it was meant to be a calendar: the story covers a full year, from January to December, with each month chronicling a fresh attack by the werewolf that has come to haunt the town of Tarker’s Mill in (you guessed it) Maine. It’s published in the same A4 size as a graphic novel or comic book, but I wouldn’t call it much more than an illustrated novella, or even just a long short story. This is a bit of a weird one: a project which was apparently originally intended as a calendar telling a gradual horror story, but which became too long to be contained in such a format, and was released as a book instead.

The conventions of the earlier writer’s work serve as a springboard into territory that seems much more Lovecraft’s own. “Dagon,” on the other hand, shows him going beyond the Poe influence. As ersatz Poe goes, it’s fine, but one may find it not worth much discussion beyond that. Edgar Allan Poe is a conspicuous influence on these stories, and in “The Tomb” Lovecraft let that influence overwhelm him. It’s a major step up from “The Tomb,” his first effort. Drafted in 1917, it initially saw print in the November 1919 issue of The Vagrant. Lovecraft’s second effort as a professional writer.

The teenagers are mostly uneducated and they’ve never been given a real chance at life. The revolutionaries consist of three “generals” and a group of teenagers they’ve found and trained in the jungle. There isn’t much action but there is a lot of character development and relationship building. It isn’t about the politics of the country or anything like that it’s about the people and the possibilities within them.
