  Weird Tales: Best of the Early...

  Thirteen tales of terror—from the macabre and morbid to unexplainable stories of the occult—from such authors as Harry Houdini, H. P. Lovecraft, and others.    First hitting newsstands in 1923, Weird Tales magazine quickly became a literary monster in discovering and publishing the best horror, sci-fi and fantasy writers of its day.   The pulp magazine was one of the earliest publications, if not the first, to feature strange tales of occultism and alien invasions that simply didn’t fit into any other magazine at that time.   The stories struck a chord with those early audiences, and as a result, Weird Tales created a subgenre as “weird” could be attached itself to various genres.   Marquee names like master magician Harry Houdini and cosmic horror creator H. P. Lovecraft graced the magazine’s pages during those early years with several debut stories, alongside authors who were already giants in their own right—Otis Adelbert Kline, Seabury Quinn, and Greye La Spina. Maybe lesser known, but no less influential, writers like Frank Belknap Long Jr., Mary S. Brown, Lyllian Huntley Harris, Hasan Vokine, Arthur J. Burks, and H. Warner Munn turned out disturbing yarns that have stood the test of time only to be resurrected nearly a century later.   This collection features those early authors across thirteen spooky stories from the impactful years of 1923 to 1925 that are best enjoyed at the witching hour.   Reading ritual aside, you’ve been warned.

  Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
   
  Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
   
  Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
   
  After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
   
  In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
   
  Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
   
  After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
   
  For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
   
  Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73

  Elise always knew she would run into her ex-husband again, eventually. What she didn't expect was that he would show up in the community she'd built for herself and reveal that the family she's been working for is the same family that disapproved of their marriage eight years ago and refused to meet her. Now he's back in town for his brother's wedding, the very same one she's catering. 
   
   
   
  Shawn's always known that marrying a human went against his pack's rules. It's bad enough that she's become deeply entrenched in his hometown, but when he senses his mate is somewhere nearby, he knows he's in trouble. 
   
   
   
  It just can't be his ex-wife. If she was his true mate, he would have knotted in her eight years ago.
