Houseboat on the River Styx

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Sir Walter Raleigh described the Associated Shades as "the swellest organization in all of Hades." In the richly appointed rooms of their headquarters, a houseboat on the River Styx, Francis Bacon and William Shakespear argue over who wrote "Hamlet", P.T. Barnum takes Noah to task for not loading dinosaurs onto the Ark, George Washington hosts dinners for the greatest generals in all of history, and Cleopatra and Elizabeth I fight for women's rights. Meanwhile, Charon makes sure everyone has plenty of ice for their drinks and riff-fraff like Captains Morgan and Kidd are kept out.

Houseboat on the River Styx condenses and combines John Kendrick Bangs' classic humorous fantasy books A House-Boat on the River Styx and In Pursuit of the House-Boat into one volume. Revised by writer and game designer Steve Miller ( Ravenloft: Dark Tales and Disturbing Legends, and many other titles), this book brings new life to the afterlife of the Associated Shades.

 

Also by John Kendrick Bangs: Alice in Blunderland, a timeless political satire.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
