Pobby and Other Stories
Five classic stories of horror, humor and the macabre from Jane Rice. From the Salem Witch Trials to a drowned man’s revenge and a man-eating plant, Jane Rice finds a macabre humor in some horrific stories. The House (1941) – The House hated.

For anyone who is contemplating the study of law, or wished they had done so, or is in the midst of such an endeavor, this book will provide rewards of insight into how the lawyer thinks through problems in a legal context. The Death of Jeffrey Stapleton is based on, introduces and illustrates a technically sound, testable and easy to demonstrate explanation of how people think and act that lays a foundation for psychology to become a natural science rather than merely an art.
