If you've picked up this volume, you may already be familiar with Achmed Abdullah's work from the first volume, «The Achmed Abdullah Megapack.» If not, no harm done; both Megapacks contain short stories which can be read in any order. The only real difference is that Volume 1 contains quite a few supernatural stories, while Volume 2 focuses more on «contemporary» (early 1900s) life in exotic locales, like the Middle East, China, and New York City (primarily in Chinatown). Crime is frequently touched upon; many of these stories qualify as mysteries. <P> Included: <P> THE EVENING RICE<BR> THE HATCHETMAN<BR> FEUD<BR> REPRISAL<BR> THE HOME-COMING<BR> THE DANCE ON THE HILL<BR> THE RIVER OF HATE<BR> THE SOUL OF A TURK<BR> MORITURI<BR> THE JESTER<BR> THE STRENGTH OF THE LITTLE THIN THREAD<BR> GRAFTER AND MASTER GRAFTER<BR> THE LOGICAL TALE OF THE FOUR CAMELS<BR> THE TWO-HANDED SWORD<BR> BLACK POPPIES<BR> THE PERFECT WAY<BR> TAO<P> A note for the sensitive: Some of these stories are not «politically correct» by today’s standards. Please keep in mind that Abdullah was writing in a different age, with different standards of propriety. The world has changed a lot in the last 100 years. <P> And if you enjoy this Megapack, please take a look at the many others available…search this ebook store for «Wildside Megapack» to see the list – mysteries, adventure, horror, science fiction, westerns, humor, and many more subjects and authors are available. (And always at a bargain price!)
