Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stunning mountains of Virginia offer spectacular views and endless outdoor activities, yet they also hold secrets. A nineteenth-century cache of gold is buried in the hills. Nine-foot giants once walked the ridges, pre-Columbian explorers built homes on isolated mountaintops and a ghost town lies deep in the Jefferson National Forest. The mountains conceal canines that walk upright, black panthers and a resurgent mountain lion population. The hide-and-seek champion of the world, Bigfoot, lurks in the dark hollows, phantom dogs pace the back roads and aggressive monkeys swing through the trees. UFOs crisscross the skies, and ghosts haunt the caverns below. Join Denver Michaels, local author and explorer of the unexplained, as he explores these mysteries and many more.

He discovers that dark forces from the past are trying to drag him back to the dangerous Barbary Coast of sixty years earlier, with deadly results.

The Line: A young architect in Victorian San Francisco discovers that his attraction to a beautiful, mysterious stranger has a disturbingly sinister aspect. The Apartment House: An elderly veteran's bizarre secret, dating from the South Pacific in WWII, is somehow connected to strange, unexplainable occurrences in a converted Santa Cruz Victorian. The Mark: After his aunt passes away in 1928, her favorite nephew returns to San Francisco for her funeral, only to discover a shocking surprise in her Russian Hill home. The Red Maelstrom: After a young North Beach beatnik commits suicide, the power of her last painting develops terrifying proportions. Unforeseen Condition: A potentially expensive problem arises in the excavation for a new high-rise building in San Francisco's burgeoning South of Market District. In searching for a solution, a construction project manager discovers ancient forces with awesome powers that change his life forever. The Satan Killer: With nods to H.P. Lovecraft and Raymond Chandler, this tale features a hard-boiled Berkeley psychologist who helps the police investigate a series of disappearances in 1954, only to discover a nemesis with powers far beyond the physical world. Ramona's Face: A young hippie living in a 1966 Haight-Ashbury flat discovers an unwelcome roommate: the ghost of a former tenant, on a quest to find its own freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World. Like the terrain it covers, Annals of the Former World tells a multilayered tale, and the reader may choose one of many paths through it. As clearly and succinctly written as it is profoundly informed, this is our finest popular survey of geology and a masterpiece of modern nonfiction. Annals of the Former World is the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.
