  When a seemingly abandoned schooner drifts into port with no crew aboard, seasoned seamen whisper of another “mystery of the sea.” Everything on the vessel appears orderly—sails set, dishes washed, papers missing—save for one unsettling detail: a silent yellow cat moving freely through the empty ship. 
  As Stewart McCord, a practical and experienced engineer, takes command of the vessel for its return voyage, unease begins to creep in. A missing sailor. Strange sounds in the night. Shadows that don’t behave as they should. And always the cat—watching, listening, appearing where no living thing should be. 
  Told with the restraint and precision of early 20th-century maritime fiction, The Yellow Cat blurs the line between superstition and reason, fear and fact. Wilbur Daniel Steele crafts a haunting psychological sea tale where isolation, exhaustion, and imagination conspire to turn an ordinary voyage into something profoundly unsettling. 
  Is the ship haunted—or is the true terror what men bring with them into the vast, indifferent sea? 
  Narrated with measured tension and atmospheric control by Gid Newell, this classic short story delivers quiet dread, mounting suspense, and a final revelation that lingers long after the last wave fades.

  Sherlock Holmes and The Bell...

  A bell rings at a quarter past two in the morning. Three nights running. From a room that has been locked for ten years. 
  When Mrs. Honoria Vexley arrives at 221B Baker Street in the bitter December of 1894, she brings a riddle that defies every rational explanation. Her daughter Clara died a decade ago; the drawing room was sealed in her memory; no key exists, no window stands open, and no wire appears disturbed. Yet the bell has sounded—with force and precision—at the same impossible hour. 
  Sherlock Holmes finds not a ghost but something far more dangerous: a web of deception spanning ten years, a suppressed marriage, a stolen inheritance, and a family solicitor whose composure hides a calculating mind capable of murder. When the dead woman’s secret husband is found strangled in a Holborn passage, Holmes must unravel a case where the true crime is not what was taken from the living—but what was stolen from the dead. 
  A locked room. A buried scandal. A bell that would not be silenced. In a city of secrets, sometimes the dead are more patient than the living—and ten years is not forever.
