Beschreibung

In "The Shadow Between Them; or, A Blighted Name," Alex McVeigh Mrs. Miller intricately weaves a narrative steeped in the complexities of human relationships and societal mores during the late 19th century. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the ever-persistent shadow of reputation that looms over its characters. Written in a style reminiscent of the psychological realism that characterized the period, the narrative invites readers to delve into the inner worlds of its protagonists while engaging with sharp social commentary that provokes reflection on the conventions of the time. Alex McVeigh Mrs. Miller, a prominent figure in the literary scene of his era, drew upon his own experiences and observations of Victorian society, particularly its rigid social structures and the plight of women. His nuanced understanding of interpersonal dynamics, coupled with a background in journalism, enabled him to craft compelling characters who grapple with the constraints imposed by their environment. Through this novel, Miller not only sought to entertain but also to illuminate the often-overlooked struggles faced by individuals constrained by societal expectations. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literature that blends psychological depth with sharp social critique. Miller's acute observations and rich character development offer profound insights into the human condition, making it a valuable addition to the canon of 19th-century literature. Readers interested in the interplay between personal desire and societal constraints will find this work both thought-provoking and poignant.

    Mysteria, a small fishing island located just off the coast of Oregon. Covered in dense forests, its isolation is exactly what award-winning author Cameron Drake is looking for. After an amicable divorce he moves to the island from England, in an attempt to reignite his writing career. However, Cameron's arrival begins with a strange encounter on a deserted road, and leads to a series of hauntings that force him to question his sanity and investigate its history.  
    As the community around him slowly vanishes, it appears Mysteria is not everything it seems. Aided by his loyal pet, Akando, an Alaskan malamute, Cameron descends into the strange world of the paranormal. Slowly, he begins to believe the hauntings are an attempt to warn of a fate that will befall the island and its remaining occupants. A quest of witchcraft, Ouija boards and contact with the dead awaits Cameron, but as he investigates deeper, the island's secret becomes clear.

    The human race prides itself on being the most organised of animals.  We manage the fate of all other species. All other animals bow to our control or suffer.  In diminishing numbers we allow some to live in the wild but in increasing numbers we domesticate them and whether they become part of the family, a best friend or wonderfully decorative accessory we take their compliance for granted.  Such a shame then when these creatures take umbrage and prepare their revenge on us they do so in ways designed to show that when the tables turn ‘mercy’ is just a word that we humans plead for, expect, but, of course, is always denied.
