  No one should die in the dreamscape 
  Lancelot Alexander Jnr was at the crossroads of being awake and falling asleep as his partner in his stage magic act Dreams and Nightmares, Zac was about to put him into the zigzag man apparatus during an evening performance. 
  "Hey, sleepy head wakes up," said Zac sensing Lance was tired. 
  "I'm so tired," Lance said, "I'll try to stay awake." 
  "I don't want to hurt you," said Zac. 
  "I don't want to be hurt either," said Lance climbing into the box. 
  The moment he went into the box he fell asleep mentally. 
  He awoke screaming when Zac inserted the first blade. 
  It startled and worried Zac. 
  "Bring the curtains down," Zac shouted and the curtains fell. 
  One stage ran a gaggle of backstage staff. 
  "Are you alright, Jnr?" asked Zac. 
  "I'm fine, I just had a vision,'' said Lance. 
  "Oh what did you see?" asked Zac. 
  A man with 3 eyes killing a woman in a dreamlike place," said Lance looking traumatized as he was being released from the stage trick by stagehands. 
  "Tell the audience the show is over, Kel," Zac told the stage manager. 
  "Ok," said the stage manager sensing a problem. 
  "Come with me, Jnr," said Zac making a wormhole appear in front of them they stepped into it.

  Algernon Blackwood: The Man Who...

  A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, "The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is (in-story) so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it. Two highly intelligent and well informed men, Professor Ebor and then Dr. Laidlaw, learn the contents of the Tablets of the Gods, and even though this information is short enough to be on two ordinary-sized tablets, it is enough to induce absolute belief in its veracity and utterly destroy hope in the reader. Yeah, that is pretty scary. There are no monsters in the tale, nothing but Forbidden Knowledge -- which, apparently, is Forbidden with good reason

  Amelia Edwards - A Short Story...

  Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
   
  In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
   
  Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
   
  In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
   
  To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
   
  After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.
