    This story coincides with April 30, or May Day’s Eve, when it was held that witches met on the Brocken mountain and kept communion with the Devil. It is named after St. Walburga, and English nun who helped convert Germans to Christianity in the 8th century. Her feast day coincides with an ancient pagan festival, whose rites were intended to give protection against witchcraft. Stoker originally wrote this story to be included in his novel, Dracula, but the editor struck it from the original work. Dracula’s Guest was published posthumously, being the title of a collection of short stories of similar gothic horror.

    A propulsive story that is just as much an adventure as it is a self-help guide, Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board is much more than child’s play. It’s the key to unlocking the mysteries and meaning of life. 
When a professional thief chooses to reverse his ethical alignment and starts using his skills for altruistic purposes, it leads him to unlocking hidden wisdom that dramatically elevates his physical capabilities and awareness of man’s place in the Universe, while concurrently leading him down the path of uncovering a nefarious underground syndicate that implicates those in the highest reaches of society and power. 
Through his journey, he explores subjects such as self-discipline, the encroachment of technology into daily life, and eventually, catastrophic natural disasters, terrorism, and Armageddon, all as he navigates through enlightening moments counterintuitive to modern conventional and prevailing thought.
