Eureka Productions, 2007

Lady vampires and bodies buried dark and deep
I am a big fan of the Graphic Classics series, and I am an even bigger fan of the anthologies, such as "Horror Classics" and "Adventure Classics". The anthologies give us a chance to read some great tales by authors who may not be prolific enough to rate their own individual books, but who have still made a powerful and influential contribution to literature. As expected, this latest ...

Eureka Productions, 2002

The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds
H.G. Wells wrote some amazing stories. There are so many classic tales it is easy to forget that they all come from the same talented man. Of course, he is one of the founders of Science Fiction, single-handily creating many of the sub-genres that can be found within its boarders. The alien invasion, the insane scientist who falls victim to his own experiment, the vision of a dark apocalyptic ...

Ron Rash

Bench Press (OR), 1998

A classic in the making
Rash's work really deserves a larger audience. He has a command of language and image sadly lacking in too many contemporary poets, and he has a compassion for his subject matter that is even rarer. Rash's work is neither too personal nor esoteric. He is concerned with recording, in verse, the lives of men and women who would otherwise be forgotten. His subject matter is COMMUNITY, as one ...

AuthorHouse, 2001

In the Sweet Light
Alex's encourgement to follow your heart is unmatched. His ability to touch the heart, soul, and emotions of the reader is so intimate it stirs memories of a love you never followed and the pain of living with that regret. Fortunately, Michael and Catherine have an undeniable second chance at a once in a lifetime love. It's a beautiful story that will leave you a bit more of a romantic than ...

Eureka Productions, 2005

Tales of Love and High Adventure
Graphic Classics continues is incredible series of illustrated classics with "O Henry," an American short story author and the master of the twist ending. Almost everyone who has gone through the US school system has encountered O Henry at some point or other, most likely in "Gift of the Magi," but the remainder of his catalog is not as generally well-known. This volume, # 11 in the Graphic ...

STRONG WINDS OF TRAGEDY CREATES A STORM OF LOVE
Eureka F. Collins' new book "Strong Winds Change Lives" is a masterfully put together story about dominion, power and perseverance. She reveals how God used suffering as part of a bigger plan and purpose to inspire individuals toward positive change in their lives. I loved this book. It reveals a mother and father dealing with the tumultuous death of their son at 5 ½ months, while the father is ...

Bram Stoker, John Pierard, ...

Eureka Productions, 2003

A worthy volume of illustrated adaptations
"Graphic Classics: Bram Stoker" serves up an excellent collection of illustrated stories by horror Grandmaster Bram Stoker. Each tale is either fully illustrated, comic book style, or text and page combined. All of the illustrations are in black and white, and feature a wide variety of styles and flair. This is definitely not the typical art you would find in a DC or Marvel comic, but is much ...

Eureka Productions, 2008

Here there be Monsters and Wizards
Tom Pomplun and the Graphic Classics team just keep getting better. This latest release is another anthology collection, bringing us some of the more obscure tales from famous authors like L. Frank Baum, as well as the grand slam home run of Mary Shelley. I love these anthology collections the best, for the chance to be introduced to some new authors as well as seeing adaptations of some of my ...

Edgar Allan Poe, Rick Geary, ...

Eureka Productions, 2004

Gothic comics - An outstanding blend of words and pictures
Edgar Allan Poe is a natural choice as the first volume of the Graphic Classics volumes, a series partially inspired by the Classic Illustrated collection of comic books, which attempted to lure young readers into reading respectable, "classic" authors through the comics medium. This new incarnation, however, takes an entirely different tact, combining fantastic literary stories with equally ...

Robert Louis Stevenson, Mort Castle, ...

Eureka Productions, 2004

All the old romance, retold
"Treasure Island" is probably the first thing that springs to mind from hearing the name Robert Louis Stevenson. "Kidnapped," "Black Arrow" and other classic tales of high adventure sprung from his pen, leading more than one child to desperately wish for a one-eyed Pirate to stroll into his life. But like his other famous creation, Dr. Jekyll, Stevenson had his darker face, and some tales not ...

A Secret Revealed: Visions of Eureka Springs

Steven S. White

SpiritWood Press, 1998

White sees the Spirit of Eureka Springs!
What an amazing book! My first visit to Eureka Springs was when I was 5 years old, back in the 1950s. I fell in love with the place and have returned many times over the years. There's very little in print about this unique mountain town beyond a few photos of what it looked like in the late 1800s. But White's book goes beyond trying to capture the antique storefronts and quaint Victorians ...

Eureka! Discover the Gold in Your Everyday Finances

Martin Plumb

Cupid and Psyche Publishing, 2000

Helpful AND entertaining!
Martin Plumb has done it! He has taken what would normally be a very dry subject-matter and, with his great story-telling abilities, has turned this into a readable and entertaining book. I would not ordinarily be able to focus my attention on a financial book long enough to finish it, but the interlacing of anecdotes throughout grabs the reader's attention and keeps it until the end. In ...

Captain Blood and the Plague of Ghosts
I knew next to nothing about Rafael Sabatini before I picked up this latest volume of Graphic Classics. I always did love a good swashbuckler though, and I figured the creator of Captain Blood and Scaramouche was worth a look. Graphic Classics hasn't let me down yet, and this certainly won't be the last time they introduce me to a fantastic writer. Remembered primarily for the slate of ...

Adventurous Women in South-East Asia: Six Lives (Oxford in Asia Paperbacks)

1 review

Eureka Pubns, 1995

The real story of Anna (and the King of Siam)!
Part of the terrific Oxford-in-Asia series, this easy-reading collection by various scholars examines the lives of 19th century Western women in the Asian tropics - pioneers like Sophia Raffles, the calamity-stricken wife of the British founder of Singapore, and Isabella Bird, the opinionated world traveler seeking to escape from civilization. It helped put into context my own struggling ...

Wolfgang Puck

Random House, 1991

One of the best cookbooks ever for entertaining
If you're looking for a collection of recipes to wow your guests, this is the one. I use this book whenever we have dinner parties, and people are always blown away by Puck's menus. Definitely not a great source of recipes for those watching their weight, but a wonderful treat for occasional super rich meals. I've been using this book now for many years, and I believe this is one of the most ...

Eureka Productions, 2004

Mummies, Murder and Monkey's Paws
Horror has done well for the modern incarnation of the Graphic Classics, whose series has seen such luminaries as Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft brought to life by some extremely talented cartoonists. Whether it is the short-story nature, or the ready-made visually splendid imagery, there is something in the classic horror tales thats makes them well suited to the Graphic ...

Bandai Entertainment, 2006

THE NIRVASH GOES DOWN
Renton is pretty much nonfunctional after learning about his father's connection to Holland and even begins to reject Eureka, claiming that she cares more about the Nirvash than him! When Holland calls on the two to confront the psychotic Anemone and her mecha aptly titled "The End", Renton refuses to go, leaving Eureka to fight alone. He feels a little different as he watches the Nirvash being ...

Mark Twain

Eureka Productions, 2007

"There was a feller here once, by the name of..."
Mark Twain is undoubtedly America's "Great Man of Letters." A complicated author, he flowed easily through humor, satire, psychological horror, politics, religion, and pretty much any other subject imaginable. He was able to hold up a dark mirror to society, and stare unflinchingly at the organizations, traditions, and political and moral decay that always threaten to drown a civilization. And he ...
