  This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
  I am beyond life, 
  I am beyond strife, 
  I am long beyond my last breath, 
  I'm among the angelic host, 
  some call me a ghost, 
  I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
  I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
  as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.

  Though many of his tales have morals, so few of Poe’s stories start with the idea that they are meant to be moralistic as is the case with Never Bet the Devil Your Head. In this story, the narrator showcases his friend, Toby Dammit, who is a man of low morals and often makes bets against the devil. One day, while on a bridge, Dammit sees a turnstile and bets the devil his head that he can make it that far. An old man goads Dammit into making the leap – and the cost is about what you might expect.

  "The House on the Borderland" by William Hope Hodgson is a hauntingly vivid novel crafted in the twilight of the 19th century. This work masterfully intertwines elements of horror, the supernatural, and deep philosophical contemplation, centering around the unsettling experiences of its protagonist within a mysterious house nestled in the bleak, windswept reaches of Ireland. Here, in this desolate landscape, harrowing and strange events begin to unfurl. 
  In the early chapters, the narrative subtly unveils themes of isolation and the uncanny, weaving in encounters with otherworldly beings. The tale opens with the narrator setting the scene in an isolated hamlet known as Kraighten, where he and his companion, Tonnison, embark on what should be a tranquil fishing retreat. Their peaceful escape takes a dark turn as they stumble upon the ruins of an ancient structure, a remnant of the past shrouded in secrets. Amidst the crumbling stones, they uncover a manuscript belonging to an enigmatic recluse—a piece of writing that promises to unveil the cryptic and eerie happenings within the house. 
  The manuscript serves as a portal into a realm where the ordinary blurs with the supernatural, recounting unnerving experiences that chill the soul. Hodgson deftly crafts an atmosphere thick with mystery and dread, revealing not only the lurking dangers of the wild outside but also the eerie interconnections to realms beyond the mortal coil that manifest within the house's shadowy confines. Each word drips with foreboding, deftly setting the stage for the spine-tingling events that lie ahead, drawing readers into a chilling exploration of both mental anguish and metaphysical terror.
