“This man Austin Freeman is a wonderful performer. He has no equal in his genre.” Raymond Chandler

“A kind of Edwardian London CSI. It appealed to my scientific mind. Essentially a collection of short stories featuring the remarkable deductive powers of Dr Thorndyke.” Jack

“Mr. Freeman is a past-master of the gradual, cumulative art of mystifying. The facts he keeps casually mentioning become a maze of criminal cunning. At the moment of his own choosing he discloses a plan of admirable symmetry.” Times Literary Supplement

“As a craftsman in the more literary sense, Dr. Freeman presents an interesting anomaly. His narrative style is so often that of late-Victorian romanticism that it is not unusual to find him unconsciously classified in the Doyle period. Indeed, the domestic trappings of a typical Freeman tale bring to the fire-lit chambers in King's Bench Walk much the same mood of snugness and nostalgic bachelor bonhomie which is destined to bespeak Baker Street to the end of time. But in his pioneer insistence on the fair-play method, the creator of John Thorndyke, M.D., was a Modern before the Moderns. He was the true and undoubted 'parent' of the scientific detective story in the highest meaning of the phrase, and remains today the living dean of that form -- if not, indeed, of all detective story writers of whatever style or persuasion.” Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure

“This man Austin Freeman is a wonderful performer. He has no equal in his genre.” Raymond Chandler

“I thoroughly enjoyed this old fashioned mystery. It was wonderfully written and at many times had me thinking, well, just how the hell was the darn crime really committed. I can assure anyone who loves old fashioned crime mysteries that they'll truly enjoy this, so join Dr. Thorndyke and Dr. Jervis as they solve the mystery.” Marts

“Good mystery! Thorndyke reminds me a lot of Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. He's very smart but wants his assistants (and readers) to come to their own conclusions. The twist at the end may surprise you, but John Thorndyke is never surprised.” Becki

“Mr. Freeman is a past-master of the gradual, cumulative art of mystifying. The facts he keeps casually mentioning become a maze of criminal cunning. At the moment of his own choosing he discloses a plan of admirable symmetry.” Times Literary Supplement

“This man Austin Freeman is a wonderful performer. He has no equal in his genre.” Raymond Chandler

“This is the first Dr. Thorndyke novel, from 1907, one of the earliest forensics-based mysteries. A valuable shipment of diamonds goes missing from a safe, and a nice young man is put in the dock for it. As evidence mounts, a renowned forensics expert is called in to help with the defense. The writing is smooth, the obligatory love story not intrusive, the forensics solid and well-presented, and the characters of Dr. Thorndyke and Dr. Jervis are likable and seem real. Thorndyke is extremely Holmesian, withholding almost all information until the denouement, rationalized as being legal discretion, but still used for good effect at the end. The courtroom scene is wonderful. The net result is an enjoyable reminder of how life - and mysteries - used to be.” Abbey

“I wouldn't be surprised if the creators of the television shows "Columbo," "Quincy, M.E." and the various incarnations of "CSI" all, at some point earlier in their lives, read and fell in love with "The Red Thumb Mark." Reading for the first time R. Austin Freeman's detective novel, first published in 1907, is like discovering the wellspring of every subsequent book, film and television show in which a detective uses innovative scientific or medical techniques to solve a crime.” Daniel

“Mr. Freeman is a past-master of the gradual, cumulative art of mystifying. The facts he keeps casually mentioning become a maze of criminal cunning. At the moment of his own choosing he discloses a plan of admirable symmetry.” Times Literary Supplement

-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

“If you love the George Eliot, Jane Austen, the Brontes, etc., you must read this book. It's very similar in style to those, but really finds a way to stand out for me because of a few reasons. First, Elizabeth Gaskell is simply very, very funny. She inserts comedy into this novel as often as every other emotion, and the jokes are truly timeless . . . Second, I felt that Gaskell's way of painting a portrait of life in a provincial English town in the 1830s very effective.” Emily

"Wives and Daughters is about the ordinary mysteries of life, [It's about] where love comes from, how it grows, how it can break our hearts, how it can bring happiness and fulfillment. It's about the mistakes we make and the secrets we have to keep." Sue Birtwistle, BBC

“After years as a widower, village doctor Mr Gibson has decided to remarry - something for which his daughter, Molly, is unprepared. Soon Molly's world is overturned by the arrival of a stepmother and a beautiful stepsister, Cynthia. The two girls form a close friendship - one that will be put to the test when they look set to become rivals in love.” BBC

“Towards the end of last year I spent many happy hours visiting a world so perfectly realised that it still lifts my heart when I think of it. I stepped into the middle of the 1830s, into the English countryside that Mrs Gaskell knew so well, I met people who were so real, fallible, interesting, and I became caught up in their lives and their stories.” Jane

WIVES AND DAUGHTERS is one of the most profound and engaging novels of all time. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is Elizabeth Gaskell’s masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

PRAISE FOR SCENES OF CLERICAL LIFE
“The exquisite truth and delicacy, both of the humour and the pathos of those stories, I have never seen the like of.” Charles Dickens

ADAM BEDE
“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read.” The Guardian
“I believe this may be the most beautiful book I have ever read. I felt both uplifted and emotionally drained when I finished. The tragedy and the great beauty of George Eliot's writing!” Beccie

THE MILL ON THE FLOSS
“Upon completion of the The Mill on the Floss, I realized that I had just finished something monumental—a staggeringly amazing literary achievement.” Christopher H
“The Mill on the Floss is funny and moving and philosophical. Eliot does so many different things well; she's witty and detached, and then she writes a love scene that makes your knees go wobbly. Middlemarch struck me the same way - it's incredibly romantic, and then it does things with that romance, crazy thematic plot things, that sometimes make you feel like the author has punched you in the stomach.” Becky
“Driven by passion, intelligence and imagination, Maggie Tulliver is a rare free spirit in the convention-bound world of Victorian rural society.” BBC

SILAS MARNER
“Eliot's finest pastoral tale. Marner is a linen weaver in the village of Raveloe, who once belonged to a religious sect from which he was unjustly expelled: in reaction he has become a miser. His store of gold is stolen by the son of the local squire; at the same time, a golden-haired foundling, later named Eppie, is left in his house. “ John Sutherland,The Guardian

ROMOLA
'There is no book of mine about which I more thoroughly feel that I swear by every sentence as having been written with my best blood' George Eliot

FELIX HOLT, THE RADICAL
“Finally, and most brilliantly, Felix Holt is a novel of sexual politics. The most interesting and most finely realized character in the novel is an older woman, the genteel Mrs. Transome. The daughter of an earl, her husband’s senility and her eldest son’s irresponsibility burden her with the responsibility for managing the Transome estates, a once magnificent inheritance now impoverished by prolonged litigation and overshadowed by half-remembered local scandals.” David Frum

MIDDLEMARCH
“It is possible to argue that Middlemarch is the greatest English novel . . . Dorothea, young and beautiful, passionate and orphaned, desires to make something of her life.” A. S. Byatt
“Everything she might need to know about marriage, about love, about life itself, was encompassed in the novel’s pages.” Rebecca Mead ‘Middlemarch and Me’ New Yorker

DANIEL DERONDA
“Eliot's last (massive) novel. Gwendolen Harleth ("a spoiled child") marries the wealthy but selfish Henleigh Grandcourt. He treats her sadistically. Gwendolen's path crosses that of Daniel Deronda, a young aristocrat of mysterious origins (even to himself)” John Sutherland, The Guardian

Includes complete and unabridged:
OLIVER TWIST

THE PICKWICK PAPERS
“It’s a joyous, jolly book, bursting with vitality. I feel jollier just having written about it” Radhika Jones Time Magazine

OLIVER TWIST
“Oliver Twist- one of Charles Dickens’s most famous novels tells the tale of a young orphaned boy named Oliver. Born in a workhouse, Oliver Twist follows Oliver as he endures turbulent times in nineteenth century London- a city plagued by poverty, crime and malice. As the road goes on for Oliver he meets the wonderfully created characters such as the miserly Fagin, the troubled Nancy, the ever so sweet Rose Maylie and the charismatic Artful Dodger.” The Streetlight Reader

NICHOLAS NICKLEBY
“Dickens's irresistible compulsion to create whole parades of unforgettable grotesques and his magnificent crusading rage against injustice all keep the pages turning.” Simon Callow, My favourite Dickens, The Guardian

DOMBEY AND SON
“Like all great Dickens novels it has really satisfying baddies. Dombey and Son has all the satirical indignation of Dickens’ early fiction – but new shades of darkness and a new narrative complexity. Halfway through his career, it was his first great novel.” John Mullan, The Guardian

DAVID COPPERFIELD
It's the book that taught me about people - that you find goodness in unexpected places (the Micawbers), deceit in handsome packages (Steerforth), that behind unctuousness can be self-serving manipulation (Uriah Heep) and I don't know what else. Besides that, what a great story about the wrong choices in love.” Simone Seydoux

BLEAK HOUSE
“I think it's Dickens's best book and, given that it's all about Chancery, I'd like to call expert witnesses. So here they are, the very unalike GK Chesterton and Vladimir Nabokov, both of whom agree that Dickens never wrote better.” Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian

HARD TIMES
“This book is, for me, Dickens' best. I loved every second of it, the darkness of Tom's steady descent into drinking and gambling were brilliant and there were several times I found myself simply rereading a few paragraphs over and over, in awe at them.” Nocturnal Pancake

LITTLE DORRIT
"Little Dorrit," Dickens' story of money, debt and love in the 1820s -- and whose depiction of a Bernie Madoff-style scandal gives it an eerie currency.” LA Times

A TALE OF TWO CITIES
“Dickens's tale of love and revolution in London and Paris is among his finest, both intimate and epic in scale” The Observer

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
“Great Expectations is an unforgettable tale of fate and a chance encounter between two strangers that radically and arbitrarily alters the lives of everyone around them.” Oprah.com

“I unabashedly love this book.” Catherine

“The three stories embraced under this title are written vigorously, with a just appreciation of the romance of reality, and with honest adherence to truth of representation in the sombre as well as the brighter portions of life. It demands not only a large intellect, but a large heart, to gain such a candid and inclusive appreciation of life and character as they display.” The Atlantic 1858

“George Eliot bliss at its beginnings. Excellent characters.” Martina

“The stories share a setting – the fictional town of Milby - and some interest in a (different) clergyman working in the area. ‘The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton’ is the tale of a man who fails to appreciate his wife until it is too late, ‘Mr Gilful’s Love-Story’ is about the unexpectedly dramatic early love affair of a now single and unremarkable clergyman, and ‘Janet’s Repentance’ considers the suffering of an abused wife who turns first to alcohol, but then to the religious comfort of evangelical preacher Mr Tryan.” The Secret Victorianist

“The exquisite truth and delicacy, both of the humour and the pathos of those stories, I have never seen the like of.” Charles Dickens

“The production of a peculiar and remarkable writer” Saturday Review 1857

SCENES OF CLERICAL LIFE is one of the most profound and engaging books of all time, made up of three novellas all taking place in the fictional town of Milby. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is George Eliot’s first masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

“Felix Holt is a surprising triumph for Eliot. For the first time, she engages fully with some of the deeper socio-political issues of her day and age. The plot is almost Dickensian in the amount of intrigue, scandal, and romance.” Kate 

“Finally, and most brilliantly, Felix Holt is a novel of sexual politics. The most interesting and most finely realized character in the novel is an older woman, the genteel Mrs. Transome. The daughter of an earl, her husband’s senility and her eldest son’s irresponsibility burden her with the responsibility for managing the Transome estates, a once magnificent inheritance now impoverished by prolonged litigation and overshadowed by half-remembered local scandals.” David Frum 

“I loved this book. George Eliot really is a master of her art. I didn't find it at all slow-paced or impenetrable. And I found the main characters admirable, even enlightening.” Eva 

“This is my favorite George Eliot, because of its wise insight into human nature and its strong characterizations. “ Sabrina

'There is no book of mine about which I more thoroughly feel that I swear by every sentence as having been written with my best blood' George Eliot

“Some day I'll start a list of History's Most Underrated Great Books, or History's Greatest Underrated Books, and start it off with this.” Naomi

“Set in Florence at the time of Savonarola and the bonfires of the vanities, this is a great read.” Caroline

“Eliot crafts a fascinating, first-rate historical fiction plot based in Florence, Italy, from the death of Lorenzo de’ Medici (in 1492), through the time of Savonarola’s influence, and culminating in an epilogue placed in 1509. In the midst of this tumultuous social situation is placed our heroine, Romola. The daughter of a scholar, Romola herself is very well educated for a woman of her time. This novel follows Romola through six complex post-de’Medici years of Florentine politics, further inflamed by the preachings of Savonarola, a Dominican friar.” Care

ROMOLA is one of the most profound and stirring historical novels of all time. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is George Eliot’s masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“With the distance of time, the novel has taken its place alongside ''Middlemarch,'' ''The Mill on the Floss'' and other Eliot masterworks.” New York Times

“What an exhilarating and delicious experience. The novel wasn't new to me, but it's been over 20 years since I last read it. How wonderful to be reintroduced to the complexities of Gwendolen Harleth, the delicately tuned sadism of Henleigh Grandcourt, the benevolent conventionality of Sir Hugo Mallinger, the yearnings of Daniel Deronda.” Pamela

“Eliot's last (massive) novel. Gwendolen Harleth ("a spoiled child") marries the wealthy but selfish Henleigh Grandcourt. He treats her sadistically. Gwendolen's path crosses that of Daniel Deronda, a young aristocrat of mysterious origins (even to himself)” John Sutherland, The Guardian

“This is one of my favorite books. George Eliot probably has to be one of the best authors that I have ever read. Her psychological insight into each character is so amazing and her analysis of human nature is quite profound. Gwendolen Harleth, much as you despise her, is very vividly portrayed and there is an interesting reality in all of her words and actions.” Charae

“Can art drive a person insane? Could there be a book, or a film, or a piece of music that vibrates against the cortex in a certain way, or opens great gulfs of revelation so profound and so shattering that you could never be exposed to it without being changed forever?” Jean-marcel

“An obscure 120-year-old book has risen to the top of Amazon’s charts this week thanks to references in US crime series True Detective. “ Daily Telegraph

“Although considered something of a classic by genre fans, The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers is hardly a household name – or at least it wasn't until the dark crime series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, which premiered in the UK on Sky Atlantic on Saturday, began to drop subtle hints about the book's involvement in the TV narrative.” The Guardian

“A classic of weird horror, The King in Yellow is a collection of short stories. Well, the first four stories are weird horror classics. Related only by the existence and influence of the play The King in Yellow, the second act of which will inevitably drive mad any who read it, they're a nicely atmospheric set.” Sesana

THE KING IN YELLOW is one of the weirdest and most wonderful story collections of all time. This is the book everyone’s talking about in connection with TRUE DETECTIVE. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is William Chambers’ classic which will stay with you forever

“It is possible to argue that Middlemarch is the greatest English novel . . . Dorothea, young and beautiful, passionate and orphaned, desires to make something of her life.” A. S. Byatt 

“With George Eliot you get real people, real lives, real jobs.' Kathleen Adams 

“Everything she might need to know about marriage, about love, about life itself, was encompassed in the novel’s pages.” Rebecca Mead ‘Middlemarch and Me’ New Yorker 

“Middlemarch may look like 1000 pages of repressed English people who won't do exciting things, but in fact, it's a thrill ride (if the ride were called "Class Consciousness and How it Will Kill Your Love Life and Your Business"). This book has more action than all three Pirates movies. George Eliot was not messing around.” Rachel Weidenfield

“Upon completion of the The Mill on the Floss, I realized that I had just finished something monumental—a staggeringly amazing literary achievement.” Christopher H 

“The Mill on the Floss is funny and moving and philosophical. Eliot does so many different things well; she's witty and detached, and then she writes a love scene that makes your knees go wobbly. Middlemarch struck me the same way - it's incredibly romantic, and then it does things with that romance, crazy thematic plot things, that sometimes make you feel like the author has punched you in the stomach.” Becky 

“Driven by passion, intelligence and imagination, Maggie Tulliver is a rare free spirit in the convention-bound world of Victorian rural society.” BBC 

THE MILL ON THE FLOSS is one of the most profound love stories of all time. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is George Eliot’s masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

“Barnaby Rudge is one of Dickens's most neglected, but most rewarding, novels. In its sympathetic portrayal of the mad boy Barnaby, and in its evocation of a turbulent London, it transcends the usual boundaries of the historical novel and becomes a complete statement of human weakness and communal power.” Peter Ackroyd, The Guardian

“Just loved this one. Dickens drops us right into the frenzied riot and drags us through it. Barnaby is a brilliant character - I love how Dickens pushes him in all his innocence right into the thick of the violence and sets his loyalty on one so unrepentantly destructive. A lot going on in this book that I won't touch on, but the way the two characters Barnaby and Hugh, polar opposites, (the one angry and manipulative, the other vulnerable and yet so full of light) are paired together is beautiful.” Esther

“It's got that wonderful mid-period Dickens feel when you can sense him plotting more carefully despite the apparent freewheeling nature of the narrative and he's not quite into the realms of characters being grotesque just for metaphorical ends. Barnaby too is an unlikely hero and despite the Victorian penchant for sentimentalising, he's often frequently unlikeable. The scenes where the prison is stormed have a cinematic sweep and are quite unforgettable, building to a nailbiting climax. Dickens fans who have overlooked it should jump to it!” Jim

“What a fantastic read! From the start I was gripped. Who was this mysterious murderous man who threatened people left, right & centre? Why was there this feud between two families? Is that a ghost or a real person in the churchyard? Who are the parents of this character? Will that smug so-and-so ever get their comeuppance? Characters that initially look evil turn out to be good and vice versa. I also love reading historical novels based on real events - in this case, the 1780 Gordon Riots in London.” AJW

-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

“Read in the order they were written, the Sketches give off the terrific air of a newly minted talent discovering what it can do. While the opening tranche of "tales" derive from the work of forgotten contemporary humorists, the pieces of London reportage that he began to contribute to the Morning Chronicle in autumn 1834 are like nothing else in pre-Victorian journalism: bantering and hard-headed by turns, hectic and profuse, falling over themselves to convey every last detail of the metropolitan front-line from which Dickens sent back his dispatches.” D.J. Taylor, The Guardian

“Dickens’ earliest published pieces are gems—well-written, insightful, bursting with energy, and, most importantly, absolutely hilarious. I’ve always said I can forgive anyone anything if they can make me laugh. I will forgive Dickens whatever needs forgiving because no other writer makes me laugh out loud (I mean milk-spurting-through-the-nose laugh out loud) the way he can. Even in these earliest works his sarcastic observational humor is spot-on. The sketches are exactly what the young Dickens wrote them to be—individual pieces that were either short stories or come-as-you-are journalism. That’s all. If we take them at face value then we can appreciate the first glimmers of literary genius in a man who was so very young when he started.” Meredith Allard , Copperfield Review

“This is a collection of Dickens' earliest writing in the form of short sketches and tales. Written in the 1830s, they focus on early 19th-century London and include depictions of both the impoverished (and the difficulties they face) and the newly prosperous middle class just beginning to take shape. Also included about 50 original illustrations.” Bucket

“Sketches by Boz is the earliest work of Dickens, contains of sketches of everyday life in London the 19th century. It can be categorized as literary journalism, although there are several fictional stories too. Dickens wrote from his own observations on people's characters, habits and cultures, as well as streets and amusement places. The sketches are thorough, and the illustrations by George Cruikshank sharpen them.” Fanda

SKETCHES BY BOZ features the classic collection of short pieces by Charles Dickens in a specially designed edition for kindle. Dickens’ first book will intrigue and delight you. Read it as it’s meant to be read: complete, and unabridged with all the original illustrations.

“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“I believe this may be the most beautiful book I have ever read. I felt both uplifted and emotionally drained when I finished. The tragedy and the great beauty of George Eliot's writing!” Beccie

“I loved this book! It was just a mellow fun story to read nothing riviting me to my seat and then all of a sudden I was dying! I have never in my life been completely torn; I couldn't stop reading because I had to know what would happen at the same time I had to stop reading because I was afraid to see what would happen.” Myla

“With this novel Eliot raised Victorian fiction to a new level of intellectual and moral seriousness.” John Sutherland

"The whole country life that the story is set in, is so real, and so droll and genuine, and yet so selected and polished by art, that I cannot praise it enough to you." Charles Dickens

“This is the story of Adam Bede, a carpenter who lives in the countryside and falls in love with Hetty Sorrel, a maid who lives with the Poysers, uncle and aunt of Adam.” Laura

and PICTURES FROM ITALY (Dickens’ Italian Travelogue)

“Dickens does his best to record the essence of the country he sees--the good and the bad--and not to be diplomatic or use false words in that description, but to be honest, direct, moral, and true. This book is an important reminder that the highest form of patriotism is in fact looking with clear eyes at your country's flaws, writing down what you see so that you can begin to change them.” J.S.Found

"A beautifully detailed view of the early American Republic. I found the most amazing parts to be Dickens' depictions of traveling itself, and also the insight we get into Charles Dickens, the person. American Notes very much reminded me of Mark Twain's travel books. But, of course, the best of American Notes is Dickens' writing-his descriptions, his characterizations, the way he puts words together." Elena

“Dickens had first journeyed to America in January 1842, eagerly anticipating the land of liberty and liberalism. Americans were just as exhilarated to catch a glimpse of the 30-year-old British writer. The tour, however, quickly degenerated into an experience of mutual disdain and recriminations. Dickens disliked the intrusiveness of the American public, who stared at him and his wife, and the press, which reported his every move. To make matters worse, once he returned to England, Dickens published even harsher views of the United States in American Notes., particularly condemning the American habit of spitting and the institution of slavery. Americans were furious, with critics panning American Notes and residents of New York City burning copies of Martin Chuzzlewit. Nevertheless, Dickens's later publications gained a wide readership in America.” New York Times

“Mr Dickens is a young man who knows nothing of this world, of society, or of government, but what he picked up as a "flash reporter" and penny-a-liner when connected with some of the most scurrilous of the vile presses with which London abounds. No person of ordinary intelligence can get up from the perusal of these "notes" without feeling that the great aim of the writer is produce the impression among the English readers that he is really somebody, and possesses all those niceties of feeling and sensitiveness of contact with the vulgar mass, so frequently assumed by the low-bred scullion unexpectedly advanced from the kitchen to the parlour.” Courier and Enquirer, 17 November 1842

“This travelogue of Dickens's 1844 Italian sojourn retains the wit and sumptuous detail of his novels.” Publishers Weekly

Read it as it’s meant to be read: complete, unabridged and illustrated. This edition also includes Dickens' account of his trip to Italy: PICTURES FROM ITALY.

-Includes the famous 'Sapsea Fragment' and a forward by G.K Chesterton

“The full title of Dickens's last novel is The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Mystery is the key word. Drood is a whodunnit. But there's no need to shout "spoiler alert!" since Dickens died halfway through writing, and kept his cards very close to his waistcoast. We can only speculate what denouement he had in mind. Dickens liked teasingly complex plots in his late career and none is more complex than Drood. But at its centre is a familiar crime scenario involving sex, money and homicide. Drood remains a mystery wreathed in mystery“ John Sutherland, Radio Times

“Even his unfinished novel is brilliant! Too bad Dickens died before Edwin Drood was finished, but what better way to go than to leave a captive audience hanging and wanting more! All the speculation and wondering will never reveal what the good author intended, but what is revealed is a glimpse into a novel that is and would have been purely Dickens.” Ruthie

“I had a moment of euphoria while reading this book, around the fifth/sixth chapter...one of those great moments where you realize why you love good books. If finished I think it would've made a terrific book, as it is, it's still wonderful” Nathan
“Charles Dickens, immortal of literature, master of characterization, writer who brought social issues to the forefront of 19th century lit. All of this I knew. What I didn't know was how much damn fun it was going to be to read The Mystery of Edwin Drood.” Allycks.

“The Mystery of Edwin Drood" was Charles Dickens's last book, and it is an exiting, complicated, romantic, dark mystery indeed - made all the more aggravating by the fact that Dickens died halfway through writing the book, leaving the mystery unsolved! Despite the fact the ending is never truly revealed, this book has reached a place among my all-time favorites and must-read books.” Elizabeth

THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD features the final novel by Charles Dickens in a specially designed edition for kindle. This tantalising mystery will intrigue and delight you. Read it as it’s meant to be read: with all the original illustrations.

In a camp site off the beaten track they serendipitously meet Roberts, a charming hulk of a man who takes them under his wing and wins their confidence, despite his own troubled past. After spending some enchanting days in Roberts’ company exploring the idyllic wilds of California, the ever-anticipated and seemingly ever-forestalled return eventually comes to pass – yet only after the two women develop, in their own way, a strong bond with the stranger. But once in Santa Barbara will Sascha’s husband have changed his drunken, abusive ways and control his jealousy, and will the mother ever escape his wrath and find the complicated kind of freedom she discovered in the redwoods with Roberts?

Interview with Mark Skinner, author of The Amber Child (currently a free download on Amazon kindle)

Q. Sum up your book in twitter length.

A. Set in any place that is everywhere, the story of the Amber Child builds from a foundation of social deterioration, requisite desires, religious misgivings, commercial rape and fantasy designs for parallel worlds.  

Q. You have a distinct style - can you tell us a little about how you write?

A. I like to write as I might see, or watch. Creating pace, and presenting a person, a moment or a situation with either a word, a short sentence, often using mini and micro paragraphs, even chapters, to affect pacing. Aim to have an almost filmic style, so to speak.

Q. You have experience writing screenplays. What makes writing a novel different?

A. More description – added to scope to paint/ colour the story. Not that a screenplay is simply a bland instruction manual for the actors, director, production crew – far from it. A screenplay simply needs to be more streamlined – descriptions can be equally explicit, enchanting, just not long and full of flowery language. 

Ultimately, as a screenwriter you write what you see and hear on screen, something that can be translated by the director and actors.

The rule of thumb would be, create a fast read. In terms of scenes, enter late and leave early.

Q. Which books have influenced your writing the most?

I was never really an avid reader – aside from film and surfing magazines (and the film guide in the Radio Times) – until the late 90s. The more I travelled, the more I read, sometimes as a result of my own curiosity, other times thanks to suggestions from people I met and encountered. For example, received ‘Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone’ from a customer in a coffee shop I was working at in Edinburgh in 1999. At the time I had no idea about it, though such soon changed. 

The book that most influenced my reading, and thereafter my desire to write was it ‘All The Pretty Horses’ by Cormac McCarthy. More than books, and aside from Cormac McCarthy, I would say several authors have affected the way I want to write. Examples of such authors are, Kurt Vonnegut, Aldous Huxley, Denis Johnson, Chuck Palahniuk, Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, James Sallis, Michael Chabon, and Hunter S. Thompson.

Clearly, there are also several screenwriters who have also influenced what I do, though they have less to do with how I might write a novel.  A couple I must mention are Vince Gilligan and Nic Pizzolatto, the writers of Breaking Bad and True Detective respectively.

Q. How do approach the writing process, and how do you feed your creativity?

A. Absorbing what is around me – people, places, sentiments, and situations.  Travelling has also played a large part. 

Scrutinising the everyday - what and why. 

Films, sometimes TV shows (especially recently – Braquo, Luther, The Sopranos, Justified, Breaking Bad, True Detective).

Music often soundtracks my thoughts - helps drive the creative process. Some lyrics, and melodies/ harmonies/ beats even inspire ideas.

Q. How did you come up with the idea for the Amber Child?

A. Holed up in a hotel in Sydney, Australia, running a fever, reading Moby Dick. Somewhat delirious, jotted down the outline to the characters, based on the beginnings of a screenplay I had attempted to develop, and then wrote down chapter numbers and a sentence or two as to what might happen on each.

Q.  Did your ideas change over time, or did you stick to your original plan for the story.

A. The spine of the story remained, though bits were added and revised as I wrote – sometimes influenced by where I was at the time, new experiences, places, creative ideas. 

Q. Who do you most identify with out of the characters in your book?

A. Both Chipper and Jimmy, who are, in effect, one and the same person.

Q. What’s next from Mark Skinner?

A. A couple of screenplays, one in the early development stage (associated with conservation), a crime drama needing rewrites, and a western halfway done. In terms of a novel, it’s early days but a possible sequel to The Amber Child is on the cards, as well as look to develop a coming of age, road-trip story.

The Amber Child is currently available free on amazon kindle until 7^th March, 2014.
