Realizing that these memories keep him from feeling lighthearted even at Christmastime, Arthur decides to write his story down once and for all, hoping that doing so will exorcise the demons he has been struggling with all his adult life.Īrthur’s story begins on a dreary November afternoon. Alone, Arthur reflects on the very real story of horror and tragedy that took place in his youth. The children urge Arthur to contribute, but Arthur becomes agitated and upset, proclaims that he has no story to tell, and abruptly leaves the room. After Christmas Eve dinner, Arthur joins his family in the drawing room, where they are trading ghost stories-an “ancient” tradition. ![]() ![]() Arthur Kipps is a well-to-do lawyer living in the English countryside. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Visit her website, to find book trailers, poetry ideas, and far too many photos of her dog, Watson.

This may make me sound slightly psychopathic but it is enormously satisfying to chase down a wounded creature trying to escape, and set about it with your mates. You could very rarely stop them escaping or interrupt these movement sequences, but now, you just instantly hop on the dog and give chase. In older Monster Hunters, there always comes the point in a fight where your quarry realises they're in a spot of bother and takes off. This in turn changes up the rhythm of fights but in an awesome way. You can not only get around faster than ever, but it feels amazing to do so. Series veterans will recall many a long slog across maps you know like the back of your hand, simply because that's the way things were, but in Rise your options with and without the dog now include wall running and a Spider-Man-style grapple that doubles up as an essential battle tool.

One of the most fun additions is your Palamute, a rideable dog. ![]() ![]() The book also includes a useful section on careers and a detailed glossary.
