About this ebook

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.

Included:

THE EVENING RICE
THE HATCHETMAN
FEUD
REPRISAL
THE HOME-COMING
THE DANCE ON THE HILL
THE RIVER OF HATE
THE SOUL OF A TURK
MORITURI
THE JESTER
THE STRENGTH OF THE LITTLE THIN THREAD
GRAFTER AND MASTER GRAFTER
THE LOGICAL TALE OF THE FOUR CAMELS
THE TWO-HANDED SWORD
BLACK POPPIES
THE PERFECT WAY
TAO

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.

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!)
