Dennis has stumbled on a book from the Great When, a magical version of London beyond time and space, where reality blurs with fiction and concepts such as Crime and Poetry are incarnated as wondrous, terrible beings. But this other, magical London must remain a secret: if Dennis cannot find a way to return this book to where it belongs, he risks facing gruesome and grave repercussions. So begins a journey delving deep into the city's occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers - some from legend, some frighteningly real, and all with plans of their own. Soon Dennis finds himself at the center of an explosive series of events that may alter and endanger both Londons forever .

Here in the Keystone State, as time passes by, it becomes harder to hear a first-hand account of what life and times were like in the Pennsylvania mountains prior to the invention of the "horseless carriage" and other time-saving devices of the modern era. Many of these old-time types of Pennsylvania mountain tales have been lost forever, along with their tellers, but somehow, the author managed to rescue a few of them at the "eleventh hour" before those doors to the past have been closed forever. These are the stories that provide a picture of life in Pennsylvania's hills and valleys during and before the first half of the twentieth century and which can be found in this and previous volumes of the Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series. In this volume: Perils of the Path Peter Grove and the Redheaded Indian What's In a Name? Eye to Eye With Death Driving In the Peg The Old Iron Bell Give Me the Good Old Days Phantoms of the Forest Faces From the Past Making the Moon Shine Tough as Nails Indian Peg Dark Clouds and Misty Moon A Line Mountain Werewolf Retribution?

Volume Four of the Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series contains more of the old-time Pennsylvania mountain legends and folktales collected by the author over the last fifty years. Just like in his previous editions, this volume will entertain those who enjoy reading about Pennsylvania's early "highlanders" and their stories that have come down to the present day over the currents of oral history and tradition. Readers will find themselves transported back to the times when the state's mountains were still inhabited by wolves, panthers, witches, ghosts, Indians, and other "throw-backs" to a harder yet simpler age. Today that era still seems to beckon to us from the depths of cool mountain hollows and from the windy heights of Pennsylvania's tradition-steeped peaks. And as the frantic pace of modern-day life increases, the allure of the old tales seems to grow stronger, drawing us back to a seemingly pleasanter and slower time when a good storyteller was appreciated as much as a good book is today.
