In 1866 Maxwell founded the Belgravia Magazine, a fiction journal which would be edited by Braddon for ten years and carried serials of many of her novels. Eleanor's Victory (1863), The Doctor's Wife (1864), and The Lady's Mile (1866) were gentler "society" novels. Although accused of beginning "the reign of bigamy as an interesting and fashionable crime" and inventing "the fair haired demon of modern fiction" (Oliphant, "Novels", 263), after Aurora Floyd she turned to more decorous drawing-room fiction. During the four years following Lady Audley's Secret Braddon defied her critics by publishing eight novels, often writing several novels for serialization at once as she remarked to Bulwer-Lytton, "I have never written a line that has not been written against time" (Wolff, Sensational Victorian, 134). She is best known for her 1862 sensation novel Lady Audley's Secret. Mary Elizabeth Braddon (4 October 1835 ? 4 February 1915) was a British Victorian era popular novelist. A first edition of this extremely scarce Victorian novel.
With a demonic blend of malice and affection Stephen King says farewell to the town he put on the map - and delivers another spellbinding testament to his dark genius:- (original cost £15.99). But maybe not, because, as Mr Gaunt knows, almost everything is for sale: love, hope - even the human soul. For Alan and Polly, this autumn week will be an awful test of their ability to grasp the true nature of their enemy. And at Needful Things, the prices are high indeed. For Leland Gaunt, the pleasure of doing business lies chiefly in seeing how much people will pay for their most secret dreams and desires. And, of course, for everyone there is a price. At Needful Things there's something for everyone. By the end of the week, Mr Gaunt's business is fairly booming. Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk is his first customer, and Brian finds just what he wants most in all the world: a 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. Leland Gaunt is a stranger - and he calls his shop Needful Things.
It's a small town, and Stephen King fans might think they know its secrets pretty well: they've been here before.
