Summary

In the compelling collection 'Thought-Forms,' readers are invited into the fascinating interplay between the abstract and the spiritual through a series of enlightening essays that explore the ethereal nature of human thought and its aesthetic manifestations. The anthology traverses an array of literary styles, blending metaphysical discourse with visual artistry to offer a profound investigation into the unseen vibrancy of the mind. The works compiled here provide an extraordinary tapestry of symbolic representations, each contributing to the broader narrative of consciousness and perception, thereby transcending mere intellectual exploration to achieve a transcendental understanding of the human psyche. Editors Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, prominent figures in the Theosophical movement of the early 20th century, bring together a diverse range of essays illuminating the intersection of thought, form, and spiritual realization. Drawing upon their extensive backgrounds in theosophy and esoteric philosophy, the authors present a collection that resonates with the burgeoning interest in spirituality and metaphysics of their era. The essays create a dialogue that is as much historical as it is philosophical, inviting readers to ponder the nature of consciousness amid a cultural landscape that sought deeper meaning beyond the material realm. 'Thought-Forms' acts as a gateway into a world of rich intellectual inquiry, introducing readers to the varied spectrums of spiritual and cognitive exploration. This anthology serves not only as an educational tool but also as a catalyst for introspection and contemplation. By embracing the diversity of styles and insights encapsulated in these pages, readers will be challenged and inspired to engage with the intricacies of thought and the shared human quest for transcendence, making 'Thought-Forms' an essential addition to any literary collection dedicated to spirituality and mental phenomena.

    Jatadharer Bakshi Samagra is a comic anthology (trilogy) based on a facetious cheat, penned by the legendary humorist - Rajshekhar Basu alias Parashuram, whom he constructed as one who used to get people under his spell with his gift of the gab. Spontaneity and imagination were such a natural disposition of this cheat that the gullible fell for his sleight repeatedly and almost happily and voluntarily till they realized it again.  
    One of the leading lights among the Bengal intellectuals of that era, Rajshekhar Basu alias Parashuram, served us well with his characteristic humor-coated sarcasm that made fun of the irrationality and deep superstitions that were plaguing the society and its people. Yet his writings ring as foresight even in this age of information overflow.

    Edgar Allan Poe

    Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
    He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
    Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
    In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery. 
    Poe is also one of a number of authors credited with inventing the detective genre with his Parisian sleuth C. Auguste Dupin.  He featured in three stories including the legendary ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’ and by sheer deduction, logic and a touch of Gallic arrogance revealed what was hidden to the rest of us.

    Many Worlds, or The Simulacra is an anthology of reality-bending stories from a one-of-a-kind collective of authors building a shared multiverse. 
    The stories in this anthology range from quietly strange to ambitiously speculative. Humans transform into cosmic energy or sentient algae. A man wakes up in a new body in a world with continents cut out, months absent from the calendar year, and souls misplaced. Students at a high school regularly vanish without a trace. A woman descends into the depths of the ocean and encounters all-knowing creatures who may have the answers to her deepest questions. 
    Mech-suits and parallel selves, conspiracy forums and interstellar telepaths, and a mysterious cosmic force connecting it all; the stories in this collection are revelatory and offer a breathtaking portal into worlds far more mysterious than our own. 
    Subversive, transgressive, and utterly original, this collection compels the reader to believe in the fantastical. 
    Many Worlds features stories by Rebekah Bergman, M. Darusha Wehm, Craig Lincoln, alongside other fascinating voices in speculative fiction. This collection is edited by Cadwell Turnbull, author of The Lesson and No Gods, No Monsters, and Josh Eure, winner of Sundress Publications’ Best of the Net Award,
