Could someone recommend a book that gives a thorough, detailed analysis about how to write fiction. One that is replete with techniques, suggestions for prose, and other handy dandy stuff.

I didn't know who I was or where I was. It was like I had just awoken from a long sleep. The faces around me were none that I could recall. The man in white spoke softly and said, "We're all suprised you were able to survive that." I had no idea what "that" was and no one was willing to give up any details. When questioned the other folks around me said, "Just rest." I knew I had to find out what had happend to me but II knew I wouldn't find out from the people around me.

Fantasy and horror are my favorites. I read a lot so the book can be difficult and have hard vocabulary in it. The reason I say 12-16 is because I don't want an adult book.

My story is set in the early Victorian era.
There is a prostitute who is taken in by a decent lady. So, from here on, I'm not sure about the plot. I don't want it to be one of those "cliched" story about a prostitute becoming into a decent lady like in "My fair lady." But I want the theme of the story being: !)the prostitute seeks worldly acceptance, and she continues to seek after it, but in vain. And this desire for worldly love and acceptance leads to her destruction. OR 2) She has a heart more pure than the decent people. She is more honest, more kind. But the decent people refuse to see her for her character, but only see her by her past reputation as a prostitute. So, society suppresses her from becoming a happy lady, accepted by them. So, she leaves the woman who took her in, and returns back to the brothel, believing what society made her think: that she is bad, and not good enough. OR, would this story be better if she did not lose against society?

Assuming an author has a literary agent and a completed manuscript, how does the agent decide which publishers he/she will submit the manuscript to? Also - one more question, if that's okay - do the major publishers "care" which agent submits to them - i.e. do you have to have/be a "known" agent? Thanks.
