Arthur Anderson

Editorial: BookRix

Sinopsis

"In the depths of an ancient and mysterious castle, nestled at the highest point of the dark Cliff, lies a secret hidden for generations. Whispers of the night tell tales of redemption and sacrifice, while a dense fog envelops the dark town of Ostroford, the silent guardian of this enigmatic abode. In the tranquil village, where shadows seem to come to life, the arrival of Elsa, a young woman of light and mystery, will unleash a series of events that will change the destiny of all those who dare to venture into the mysteries of the dark Cliff. William, the owner of the ancestral mansion, lives tormented by secrets that have haunted him since his youth. His wife, Alice, has tried to maintain peace at home, but the shadow of the unknown threatens to shatter their harmony. Meanwhile, Liam, the faithful caretaker, knows more about the dark corners of the mansion than he's willing to reveal. Destiny intertwines strongly when Alexander, the son of William and Alice, finds love in Elsa, whose past is as enigmatic as the castle she now resides in. Emma, the mysterious housekeeper, keeps silent about dark secrets that could change everything, while Wilma, a distant relative, arrives for a visit and seems to have her own interest in the legacy of the dark Cliff. A haunted mirror, living nightmares, and a secret passage to the unknown challenge the sanity of those who dare to confront the enigmas of the castle. Liberation or condemnation, sacrifice and ritual, are key pieces that form a macabre puzzle, whose consequences will affect not only those who reside in the castle but also all of Ostroford. The final battle approaches, and as the thick fog penetrates the heart of the village, redemption seems as distant as it is elusive. But even in the deepest darkness, there is always a light that guides towards a new beginning. Will they unravel the secrets of the dark Cliff and find the hidden legacy that awaits in its depths? Or will the past, like lost memories,

The Secrets of Dr Taverner

Dion Fortune

A collection of occult detective stories inspired by Dion Fortune’s own experiences as a student of the mystical and unseen. 
Dr. Taverner, a brilliant and enigmatic physician, runs a private nursing home for patients whose afflictions defy conventional medicine. Alongside his assistant Dr. Rhodes, he confronts forces far stranger than disease—malevolent psychic attacks, astral projections gone wrong, vampiric entities, and the dark arts of occult practitioners. 
Each case blends medical science with the supernatural, pulling readers into a shadowy world where the boundary between body and spirit is perilously thin. Fortune’s tales combine suspense, rich psychological insight, and a sense of genuine esoteric knowledge that makes them uniquely compelling among early 20th-century occult fiction. 
Chilling, atmospheric, and thought-provoking, The Secrets of Dr. Taverner remains a classic for fans of supernatural mysteries, occult thrillers, and anyone fascinated by the hidden dimensions of human experience.

Amelia Edwards - A Short Story...

Amelia Edwards

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.
