Rookie reporter Joy Song Fan is at the end of her rope. Life isn't easy in the aftermath of the Great War of Nokomis, in which the upstart industrial nation of Kallistrate used its giant mechanical Steam Golems to vanquish the ancient dragon-riding empire of Albion. But Joy's life keeps going from bad to worse. Harassed out of her dream job by a predatory co-worker, blackballed by all the legitimate newspapers of Dodona, stuck working for a skeevy tabloid, she's been given an ultimatum: find and interview the Red Specter. Though the assignment seems impossible--the Red Specter is a ghost, an urban legend, a myth, a comic-book character--Joy is determined to do it anyway. It's either that or starve. But Joy's investigation through the seedy underbelly of the city of Dodona takes her into unforeseen dangers, as she stumbles upon a criminal conspiracy of fraudulent psychics, crooked cops, Triad gangsters, pirates, war criminals, human traffickers, and enraged cows. And behind it all, Joy finds mounting evidence of a Red Specter who is far more real than she had ever imagined.

"As quickly as I emerged from the bushes I turned and there, running toward us on the dirt road, was the most gruesome creature I had ever seen in my life. The creature was red and looked to be 10 to 12 feet tall and ran on four legs. On his back sat a human skeleton. Behind him sat the large, red setting sun. It looked as if the monster was riding out of the sun. The skeleton's jaw was agape as if he were laughing at us, jeering at us, striking fear into our hearts. The creature careened toward us at a frightening pace. I was almost frozen in fear. 'Run, Joseph, run!' I screamed. I reached over and grabbed the frightened boy with one hand and began to pull him along behind me as quickly as my legs would carry me. We ran back into the woods. The twigs and branches of the bushes and trees snapped as we plunged into the forest. The briars and thorns tore at our clothes and our flesh. Joseph emitted a scream. "Run faster!" he shouted. "It's right behind us!" The thunderous hooves got louder as the creature picked up speed and bore down on us." The Legend of the Red Ghost is inspired by actual events as told by 16-year-old Kip Young. Kip craves adventure and an escape from the uneventful life in a frontier boom town. Kip's life is anything but ideyllic. His younger brother, Charlie, suffers a congenital heart defect that threatens his life. One evening, a strange creature appears in the countryside terrorizing the townsfolk. It was described as running on four legs and covered with red fur. Most ominous of all was the spectral rider that sat on its back. Witnesses described a human skeleton that brandished a sword. Charlie soon becomes convinced the monster, known as "the Red Ghost," is the incarnation of Death itself. Charlie overhears several townsfolk discussing the monster. They refer to it as one of the seven horsemen of the Apocalypse Others refer to it as the devil's stead. Certain he is going to die, Charlie becomes depressed. Kip decides to track down the creature to discover its true origin and protect his brother.

Along with "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" relates the tale of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of wealthy farmer Baltus Van Tassel. Ichabod Crane, a Yankee and an outsider, sees marriage to Katrina as a means of procuring Van Tassel's extravagant wealth ...

A restlessness born of guilt and despair leads Ravi to embark on a journey that ends in the remote village of Khasak in the picturesque Palghat countryside in Kerala. A land from the past, potent with dreams and legends, enfolds the traveller in a powerful and unsettling embrace. Ravi is bewitched and entranced as everything around him—the villagers; their children whom he teaches in a makeshift school; the elders who see him as a threat; the toddy-tappers; the shamans—takes on the quality of myth. And then reality, painful and threatening, begins to intrude on the sojourner's resting place and Ravi begins to understand that there is no escape from the relentless dictates of karma... Often poetic and dark, always complex and rich, The Legends of Khasak, O.V. Vijayan's much-acclaimed first novel, translated into English by the author, is an extraordinary achievement

This book is the history of an imaginary people — the Red Jews — in vernacular sources from medieval and early modern Germany. From the twelfth to the seventeenth century, German-language texts repeated and embroidered on an antisemitic tale concerning an epochal threat to Christianity, the Red Jews. This term, which expresses a medieval conflation of three separate traditions (the biblical destroyers Gog and Magog, the 'unclean peoples' enclosed by Alexander, and the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel), is a hostile designation of wickedness. The Red Jews played a major role in late medieval popular exegesis and literature, and appeared in a hitherto-unnoticed series of sixteenth-century pamphlets, in which they functioned as the medieval 'spectacles' through which contemporaries viewed such events as Turkish advances in the Near and Middle East. The Red Jews disappear from the sources after 1600, and consequently never found their way into historical scholarship.
