In the Vault (Unabridged)

H. P. Lovecraft

George Birch, undertaker for the New England town of Peck Valley, finds himself trapped in the vault where coffins are stored during winter for burial in the spring. When Birch stacks the coffins to reach a transom window, his feet break through the lid of the top coffin, injuring his ankles and forcing him to crawl out of the vault. Later, Dr. Davis investigates the vault, and finds that the top coffin was one of inferior workmanship, which Birch used as a repository for Asaph Sawyer, a vindictive citizen whom Birch had disliked, even though the coffin had originally been built for the much shorter Matthew Fenner. Davis finds that Birch had cut off Sawyer's feet in order to fit the body into the coffin, and the wounds in Birch's ankles are actually teeth marks.

Twas The Night Before Christmas...

Clement Clarke Moore

It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving.

Eve's Ransom

George Gissing

In Eve's Ransom , George Gissing weaves a poignant and ironic tale of love, loss, and economic desperation in Victorian England. The novel follows Harold Transome, a struggling schoolteacher who returns to London after years abroad, only to find himself entangled with Eve Mayfield, a beautiful young woman trapped in poverty. Drawn into a relationship that blurs duty and desire, Harold sacrifices his modest livelihood to support Eve, believing he is rescuing her from hardship. But as their bond deepens, so too does the complexity of their emotional and financial dependence. Gissing masterfully critiques romantic idealism and gender dynamics, exposing the harsh realities beneath sentimental illusions. A quiet tragedy of misplaced devotion and social constraint, Eve's Ransom explores the cost of love when it becomes an obligation rather than a choice.
