The Living Mummy (Illustrated Edition) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Ambrose Goddard Hesketh Pratt (1874-1944) was an Australian writer born into a cultivated family in Forbes, NSW. The third of seven children of a well-connected physician, he was educated at St Ignatius' College, Riverview and Sydney Grammar School, with private tutors in French and German and the manly arts of boxing, riding, fencing and shooting. After abandoning his studies in medicine he took up law and once qualified as a solicitor he rose to admission to the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 1897. However, this life did not suit him and he chose a more adventurous path, including working on a Pacific trading steamer and as a Queensland drover. He then travelled to England where he began writing novels and stories, and embarked on a career in journalism with the Daily Mail, returning to Australia in 1905 to join The Age as a journalist. In 1918 he became founding editor and part-owner of the Australian Industrial and Mining Standard and was involved in companies mining in Malaya and Siam. On his retirement from journalism he became involved with keeping Australian fauna in the Melbourne Zoological Gardens, was president of the Zoological and Acclimatization Society of Victoria from 1921-36, and later vice-chairman of the Zoological Society of Victoria. He was a proponent of the Ghan railway to Alice Springs, riding in the VIP carriage on the inaugural journey, and in 1933 founded the League of Youth which encouraged citizenship and love of nature. His fiction frequently focussed on criminal outsiders, and in addition to his 30-odd novels he also wrote a number of non-fiction works. This novel was first published in 1910 and includes four full-page illustrations and a facsimile of the original cover. Please note that it was not possible to reproduce the illustrations in colour in this reprint.

Download and read online ebook The Living Mummy and Other Stories write by Jack Davis. This book was released on 2016-08-03. The Living Mummy and Other Stories available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, he made his innocent victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murderers more gleefully gruesome, and his vampires and werewolves more bloodthirsty and feral than any other artist. These horror and suspense tales ― from the pages of Vault of Horror,Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Shock SuspenStories ― offer everything a horror fan could ask for: re-animated bodies and body parts, a ghoul who stores bodies like a squirrel stores nuts, a vampire who moonlights at (where else?) a blood bank, greedy business partners, corrupt politicians, jealous lovers, revenge from beyond the grave, and a healthy complement of vampires, werewolves, and assorted grotesqueries. All leavened with the cackling, pun-laced humor of scripter Al Feldstein and illuminated as only the virtuoso brushwork of Jack Davis can present them.
