All You Can Books: The Fantasy land
This right here is the beauty of books. They take to right to the fantasyland, no questions asked! We dive deeper to know a different world than we know, understand how different it is to live in a world like that. When I first read Harry Potter, I was always on the lookout for an owl delivering my mail. Though it crushes us to know we can’t be part of this fantasy land, but we can be the spectator of the beautiful journey of our characters.
Let us look at the must read/listen to Fantasy books on All You Can Books
The Book of Wonder by Lord Dunsany
This book is available in E-book and Audiobook format.
Fourteen fantasy short stories by Irish Fantasy writer, Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others.
“Come with me, ladies and gentlemen who are in any wise weary of London: come with me: and those that tire at all of the world we know: for we have new worlds here.” – Lord Dunsany, the preface to “The Book of Wonder”
Excellent book for fans of the Harry Potter series.
Hapax by K. T. Bryski
This book is available in Audiobook format.
The Apocalypse has come, and in seven days the world will be no more. Only the Hapax, the Word which began the universe, can recreate the world and avert the Apocalypse, but that Word has been lost. Brother Gaelin finds his faith crumbling as he is forced to shelter two fugitives from the Magistatiem, the college of magi which has been divorced from the Ecclesiat monks for centuries. As time slips away, the monks and magi must do more than just heal the ancient rift that divides them—they must trust in the very Being who drove them apart.
Brood of the Witch-Queen by Sax Rohmer
This book is available in E-book and Audiobook format.
A swan suffers a mysterious death, its neck wrung by apparent supernatural forces. A young woman dies alone in a hospital room, apparently strangled by mysterious means. Sir Michael Ferrara is found strangled in his bedroom with no one else there. Dr. Bruce Cairn and his son Robert are faced with a mystery that involves deeper, darker, more ancient forces than they could have imagined. Who is Sir Michael’s adopted son Antony really? And who is the brood of the Witch Queen?
The Double Life Of Mr. Alfred Burton by E. Phillips Oppenheim
This book is available in E-book and Audiobook format.
Alfred Burton, a smooth-talking salesman, is having a perfectly ordinary day on the job when he stumbles across a strange plant in an old house. What he doesn’t realize is that the fruit of the plant, when eaten, will change not merely the entire course of his life, but in fact his very self.
The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
This book is available in E-book and Audiobook format.
Imagine a strange, tropical place that is almost inaccessible. Time appears to have stood still there. Species of animal and plant life not seen elsewhere on Earth, except in the fossil record, inhabit the place. The lakes heave with the shapes of huge grey bulks moving under the surface. The woods are places where chittering cries move about above your head, as powerful apes move swiftly in the canopy of leaves. Then, a tree splinters nearby, and a dinosaur steps out from his hiding place… and he’s eying YOU.
Jurassic Park? Not quite. The Lost World was an inspiration for Jurassic Park; in fact, a character in J.P. has the same name as one of the chief characters in The Lost World. It also inspired King Kong. But this is the original! Four adventurers go off to find the place shown in a dead man’s sketch book – they find a war between apes and Indians, prowling dinosaurs, a sparkly treasure hidden in the blue clay – they find the Lost World. And because of the treachery of a native guide, their means of escape is destroyed!
