The stories traverse haunted landscapes and desperate situations, where the logic of Sherlock Holmes has no place.

    In the towering city of Avalon, where ambition reigns and secrets shimmer beneath glass skyscrapers, Ashlynn Sinclair is a rising analyst with a haunted past—and a dangerous bloodline. On the night of a rare Blood Moon, a long-buried power awakens inside her, marked by a glowing sigil and the return of a mysterious doppelgänger she has seen since childhood. Her world unravels when Marcus Wren, the enigmatic CEO of Vault Enterprises, reveals the truth: she is Unbound—one of three beings born in each cycle, neither human nor divine, but something in between. 
    As Ashlynn begins her transformation, she is drawn into an ancient Trial meant to test the strength of the Unbound. Standing beside her is Adrian, a calm and calculating guardian from her past who holds answers to questions she never dared ask—about her family's fiery death, her supernatural heritage, and the war between factions fighting to control the thinning Veil between worlds. 
    Together, Ashlynn and Adrian navigate a shadowy underworld of secret vaults, corrupted corporations, and magical societies like the Black Quorum and Sanctum. The emergence of the third Unbound—a powerful, unstable entity tied to them both—threatens to tip the balance toward chaos. As Avalon teeters on the brink of becoming a battleground for the forgotten gods and their mortal proxies, Ashlynn must choose: suppress the power that could destroy her, or embrace the flame that could make her a legend. 
    But trust is a rare currency in Avalon, and every ally carries an agenda. As betrayals unravel and old pacts shatter, Ashlynn, Adrian, and the remnants of a fractured resistance must face the greatest truth of all—sometimes the real enemy is the part of yourself you cannot escape.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

    "Polaris" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in 1918 and first published in the December 1920 issue of the amateur journal The Philosopher. It is noteworthy as the story that introduces Lovecraft's fictional Pnakotic Manuscripts, the first of his arcane tomes.Critic William Fulwiler writes that "'Polaris' is one of Lovecraft's most autobiographical stories, reflecting his feelings of guilt, frustration, and uselessness during World War I. Like the narrator, HPL was 'denied a warrior's part', for he 'was feeble and given to strange faintings when subjected to stress and hardships'".Like many Lovecraft stories, "Polaris" was in part inspired by a dream, which he described in a letter: "Several nights ago I had a strange dream of a strange city-a city of many palaces and gilded domes, lying in a hollow betwixt ranges of grey, horrible hills.... I was, as I said, aware of this city visually. I was in it and around it. But certainly I had no corporeal existence."

    This full-cast performance of Dracula offers a new way to experience Bram Stoker's seminal vampire story, which follows Abraham Van Helsing's efforts to track down Lucy Seward after she becomes the victim of Count Dracula. Originally written by Irish playwright Hamilton Deane, this stage play was the first authorized adaptation of the 1897 epistolary novel Dracula. Beginning a tour in England in 1924, it was then revised by American writer John L. Balderstone for a Broadway production that opened in October, 1927, featuring Hungarian-American actor Bela Lugosi in his first English-language role. Balderstone's revision would become the basis of the 1931 film adaptation, also starring Lugosi. The play was revived in 1977, receiving the Tony Award for Best Revival and leading to the 1979 film, both starring Frank Langella.
