  What the Salt Remembers - A...

  Some secrets refuse to drown. 
  When cartographer and scientist Kaia Kestrel's research vessel is obliterated by an impossible hyper-hurricane, she expects to die in the freezing Atlantic. Instead, she awakens on Aethelburg—a grim, uncharted island settlement built entirely from the bones of shipwrecked vessels. Here, the laws of physics are dead, replaced by the suffocating laws of faith, fear, and the iron-fisted rule of Matriarch Isolde Ironspire. 
  The islanders live in terror of the Haze, a sentient, supernatural fog that rolls in from the sea not to kill, but to erase. Those caught in its grasp are scoured of their memories and identities, left as empty, breathing shells known as the Hollow. While the locals appease the angry sea with desperate rituals, Kaia is determined to use reason and science to understand the phenomenon. 
  But her search for data uncovers a horrifying truth hidden in the threads of an ancient tapestry. The Saltborn are not righteous survivors, but the descendants of ruthless conquerors, and the Haze is the sea's vengeance for a forgotten slaughter. Now, armed with a truth that could tear the island apart, Kaia must choose between the cold comfort of logic and the terrifying reality of a curse that hungers for them all. 
  What the Salt Remembers is a gripping Eldritch Historical Fantasy that pits the fragile architecture of human reason against the fathomless, vengeful depths of the ocean.

  Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. 
  Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations.

  The Master of Silence - A Romance

  Irving Bacheller

  A young American is summoned to a house in the woods where an old man has raised his son to speak no word and hear no sound — an experiment in silence — and where a murder has been committed that only the silent man witnessed. Bacheller founded the first newspaper syndicate in the United States, buying serial rights and selling them on; this early novel of 1892 is his oddest, and the premise is genuinely unnerving.

  Arthur Machen - A Short Story...

  Arthur Llewelyn Jones was born in Caerleon, Monmouthshire on the 3rd March 1863. 
   
  Machen came from a long line of clergymen, and when he was two, his father became vicar of a small parish about five miles north of Caerleon, and Machen was brought up at the rectory there. 
   
  In his early years he received an excellent classical education, but family poverty ruled out university, and he was sent to London to sit exams to attend medical school but failed the exams.  He did show literary promise with the publication of the poem ‘Eleusinia’ in 1821.  But life in London was difficult and it was only in 1884 that he published again and was taken on to translate several French works which thereafter became the standard editions for many years. 
   
  In 1887, his father died.  That same year he married Amelia Hogg, a maverick music teacher with a passion for the theatre.  He also began to receive legacies from Scottish relatives which allowed him to devote more time to writing. 
   
  After publishing in literary magazines in 1894 he published his first book ‘The Great God Pan’.  Its sexual and horrific content very much helped sales. 
   
  Over the next decade or so he wrote some of his best work but was unable to find a publisher mainly due to the collapse of the decadent market over Oscar Wilde’s scandalous trial. 
   
  In 1899, his wife died and during his long recovery he took up acting and travelled around the country as part of a travelling company.  Three years later he was publishing again and had remarried. 
   
  Re-publishing of earlier works helped anchor both his reputation and his income.  By the time the Great War opened Europe’s wounds he returned to the public eye with ‘The Bowmen’ helped by the publicity around the ‘Angel of Mons’ episode. 
   
  However, by the late 20’s new works had dried up and his back catalogue was no longer a source of regular income. 
   
  In 1932 he received a Civil List pension of ₤100 per annum but other work was not forthcoming.  His finances finally stabilised with a literary appeal in 1943 for his eightieth birthday and allowed him to live his remaining years in relative comfort. 
   
  Arthur Machen died on 15th December 1947 in Beaconsfield. He was 84.
