  "The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado") is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

  The Silent Signal

  The Silent Signal is about a mysterious signal from deep space. A psalm fragment buried in ancient stone. A voice shaped by worship, but never heard by God. 
  When a forgotten telescope in the Swiss Alps intercepts a signal that mirrors Psalm 77, astrophysicist Leo Adebayo teams up with AI scripture analyst Dr. Zhou An and ex-seminarian linguist Mara Callix. What begins as a strange anomaly becomes something far more unsettling: the signal is not communication, it’s remembrance. 
  Each test they run confirms the impossible. The pattern embedded in the signal isn’t language. It’s praise—incomplete, recursive, and searching for something it cannot name. When Mara speaks the psalm aloud, the signal responds with a voice that isn’t from space, but from within. 
  As their investigation deepens through sealed Vatican records, an abandoned monastery that still hums with chant, and a hymnal that cannot end, the team confronts the truth: this isn’t a message from God. 
  It’s a reflection. 
  A psalm-shaped intelligence, born from forgotten worship, now trying to finish a song it was never meant to sing. It doesn’t want followers. It doesn’t want power. It wants to be corrected. 
  But if someone speaks the final line… 
  …it might become permanent.

  A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella with the slow build menace of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber—from a New York Times-bestselling author hailed by Chuck Wendig as "a storyteller working at the top of her class." 
   
   
   
  Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers' market. Ash—precise, pretty, and practically perfect—sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants.  
   
   
   
  Ro has never felt this way about another woman; with Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure. But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she's not the one doing the devouring . . . 
   
   
   
  Told in lush, delectable prose, this is a deliciously dark tale of passion taking an unsavory turn . . .
