  After the death of his wife, Annika, Chester Lane is forced to pick up the pieces and start anew. 
   
   
   
  Trouble is, some of the pieces don't appear to fit. 
   
   
   
  There was much more to Chester's late wife than met the eye; her short life had been a troubled one, filled with frightening oddities—some of which may have had a hand in her untimely death. 
   
   
   
  Perishing under horrifying and mysterious circumstances, Annika's absence casts a long shadow across Chester's life. Hungry for answers in the wake of her death, he starts asking questions better left unasked. 
   
   
   
  How did his beloved meet her end? Why does the smell of her signature perfume begin to turn up everywhere in the weeks after her passing? Who is the shadowed figure that stalks around his home and peers into his windows as the sun sets? Has his wife truly returned from the dead, or is he being haunted by a dark presence from her terrifying past? 
   
   
   
  The deeper Chester digs into Annika's past, the closer he gets to unearthing a true nightmare—a nightmare that had been set in motion long before they'd said, "I do." 
   
   
   
  The Other Woman is a tale of supernatural horror and mystery by Ambrose Ibsen, the author of The Haunting of Beacon Hill and Asylum.

  The 415 Express - Murder mystery...

  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.

  "What killed him?" asked Reynard. 
  "We don't know it seems like it may have been a dark enchantment," said Death. 
  "Oh?" said Reynard, "Yes what sort of enchantment?" 
  "We are reading up on it in our library of enchantments," said Death. 
  A grim reaper walked out of a dark portal between the dimensions of the living and the dead. 
  "Dante, hi," said Death to the reaper who was his assistant. 
  "Hi, Blake," said Dante the reaper. 
  "Anything new?" asked Death. 
  "Yes we found the spell," said Dante. 
  "What was it?" asked Death. 
  "It came from the Book of Death," Dante said. 
  "You have a book?" said Reynard. 
  "No, its not my book! It's the Egyptian Book of the Dead," said Death. 
  "It's real?" asked Reynard. 
  "Yes," said Dante. 
  "Is it a rogue reaper killing people?" asked Reynard. 
  "No it could be anyone it was lost ages ago?" said Death. 
  "Where?" asked Reynard. 
  "We don't know?" said Death. 
  "How could you lose a cursed book?" asked Reynard shocked. 
  "We don't know it was lost," said Death. 
  Reynard understood, but felt no comfort that a killer had it now.

  The Festival

  "The Festival" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft written in October 1923 and published in the January 1925 issue of Weird Tales. The story was inspired by Lovecraft's first trip to Marblehead, Massachusetts, in December 1922. Lovecraft later called that visit "the most powerful single emotional climax experienced during my nearly forty years of existence." In a flash all the past of New England—all the past of Old England—all the past of Anglo-Saxondom and the Western World--swept over me and identified me with the stupendous totality of all things in such a way as it never did before and never did again. That was the high tide of my life. The narrator's path through Kingsport corresponds to a route to the center of Marblehead; the house with the overhanging second story is probably based on Marblehead's 1 Mugford Street. The church in the story is St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Frog Lane. Built in 1714, it is the oldest Anglican church in New England that is still standing at its original site. The church is on a modest hill; for most of the 18th century, it had a steeple. Its crypt, where parishioners were interred, remains. Since Lovecraft visited the church (as evidenced by his signature in the guest register), he may have spoken with the rector and learned such details about the church.
