The Primrose Path (1875) is the debut novel of Irish author Bram Stoker. Written over two decades before Dracula, his masterpiece, The Primrose Path helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. Inspired by the temperance movement, Stoker crafts a simple narrative about a man brought low through temptation and a lack of opportunity. Originally serialized in The Shamrock, a weekly magazine published in Ireland, The Primrose Path is a largely unrecognized novel that deserves reassessment by readers and academics alike. Jerry O’Sullivan is a good man who wants noting more to provide for his young wife in order to start a family. Looking for work as a theatrical carpenter, he moves from his native Dublin to the sprawling city of London, where he soon finds work and hopes to settle down. After a series of accidents, however, he grows distant from his wife Katey and falls victim to the temptations of alcohol. As he begins to lose control, he grows jealous, loses his job, and begins to harbor dangerous fantasies. Soon, despite his moral upbringing, he risks committing an act too heinous to imagine. The Primrose Path is a gripping work of horror and naturalism by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history’s greatest villains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker’s The Primrose Path is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Have you ever been enticed to believe in someone or something, only to be deceived? Primrose Path is an autobiographical account of the authors experience working in an organization founded and controlled by an individual, seconded by his family, and enthusiastically supported by his associates. But the problem is its a sham, one that is the very antithesis of what Christians are supposed to be about, more akin to a cult than being free in Christ. It is one of the most outstanding examples of a counterfeit in the Church ever depicted on the printed page. But theres more to it than that. It is the authors conviction that this story does not stand alone in what is going on today. He believes there are innumerable instances where similar shenanigans are prevalent affecting millions of lives. Yet, seemingly, no one involved in these situations exposes the corruption. Somehow they feel they are all alone and believe that no one would understand what theyve gone through because it is too extreme to be believed. It is time that evil wreaking havoc in the Church is exposed and that people learn they are not alone, that there is hope, there is healing, they can reconnect into the Body once again and go on being productive for the work of the gospel. For now there are millions of Christians without a church home and have little faith to be a part of any other, those who may watch TV Christian programming as a substitute, or go out into nature rationalizing theyve found God there. But community among believers is sacrificed and the potential for sweet fellowship is no longer a part of their thinking let alone in their plans. They walk a disillusioned group, yet each one alone, homeless. Yet, hope is on the horizon. Read the book and see. Its a true story broken down into three parts: 1) The day-to-day life of a charlatan; 2) a psychological analysis of him; and 3) walking the reader through the three-year journey. New strong churches are waiting to be birthed; other churches are waiting to welcome these believers back into the fold. Hope is waiting. Making that important step is only a decision away. Please make it today.

Horace Rumpole - cigar-smoking, claret-drinking, Wordsworth-spouting defender of some unlikely clients - often speaks of the great murder trial which revealed his talents as an advocate and made his reputation down at the Bailey when he was still a young man. Now, for the first time, the sensational story of the Penge Bungalow Murders case is told in full: how, shortly after the war, Rumpole took on the seemingly impossible task of defending young Simon Jerold, accused of murdering his father and his father's friend with a German officer's gun. And how the inexperienced young brief was left alone to pursue the path of justice, in a case that was to echo through the Bailey for years to come.

The Primrose Path is a near autobiography of hope, love, heartbreak, and the way life calls for acceptance of others’ choices if advancements are to be made. Aimed at the population of young folks negotiating the balance of challenge and pleasure in their lives, here is poetry and prose that call out to a generation. In mostly free-form verse written inside of a single year, author Marty Pasco contemplates the mysteries of a modern-day life for a young person. Leaving home and growing up. Partying and drinking. Loneliness and social media. Hope. Taken as a whole, The Primrose Path captures all the pleasures and pains that account for the details of a modern life for the travellers and hipsters and artists and outcasts who will find themselves well represented in its rich, raw pages.
