  Evil has taken control of the monastery. In search of a solution, Hildegard is drawn into a profound murder mystery driven by her worst nightmares. 
  The Evil Abess 
  A Cloister Mystery 
  The bells toll. The blood dries. The prayers go on. 
  In the year of our Lord 1123, something unpleasant is growing behind the abbey walls. It smells like murder, sounds like chanting, and behaves very much like a cover-up. 
  Sister Hildegard has never been particularly obedient. She sees too much. She hears what isn't said. And she asks questions no nun should. 
  Now someone is punishing sins that haven't been confessed—and the Rule of Saint Benedict offers no guidance for corpses in the cloister. 
  The abbess says it's the Devil. 
  Hildegard suspects something worse. 
  Something local. 
  A tale of sacred rituals, petty power struggles, and suspicious silence, The Evil Abess reveals what happens when the truly faithful stop forgiving—and start investigating.

  "The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

  The Dream - A woman seeks...

  Mary Shelley

  Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on the 30th August 1797 in Somers Town, London. 
   
  Her mother, the famous feminist philosopher, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft died when Mary was only 11 days old and she was raised by her father, the philosopher, novelist, journalist, and perpetually in debt, William Godwin. 
   
  Though Mary received little formal education her father taught her a broad range of subjects and added to her bright and curious personality she easily absorbed a good and broad education. 
   
  In July 1814, after conducting a secret affair with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who had earlier promised to pay off yet another round of her father’s business debts, the pair eloped to France.  Within two months, penniless and pregnant they returned to England. 
   
  Her husbands’ affairs caused her frequent heartbreak but despite all the travails, including the loss of her own child, Shelley’s recent inheritance gave them the opportunity to journey again to Europe. 
   
  It was here that ‘Frankenstein’ was born and established Mary’s own name in literature. 
   
  Her life hereafter was plagued with loss; the death of two further children and then her husband in a boating accident.  Her writing continued through novels, travel pieces and biographies.  Her short stories, some based in Europe, tackle difficult situations and genres as well the obstacles that women were burdened with in society.  Her editorship of her late husband’s poetry was also widely praised.   
   
  Mary’s radical politics continued to guide her journey throughout her life but, by 1840, illness had begun to haunt her years, depriving her of energy and vigour.  
   
  Mary Shelley died on the 1st February 1851, at Chester Square, London of a suspected brain tumour.  She was 53.

  What if you lost the last physical thing that reminds you of a lost beloved child through theft, and it happens to be found upon the body of the now dead thief, and it is now in the hands of the police would you if you had access to would you take it back? Is stealing back your own stolen thing, really theft or is it? This is the situation where this coroner, Blake, finds himself in. 
  On a lonely quiet misty night after midnight in Melbourne, anything can happen and it did. At that hour, only the reckless and unprincipled wander around. 
  On such a night as this, a straggler from a theatre was wandering in the cool calming night remembering a lost daughter who he'd lost many years ago on a night like this. This day, to be exact, 28 years earlier. She was murdered with her husband as they walked the street he was in. He came as he always did this night to lay a rose for them. He did so unbothered, for all the times he had come. Before that night. He pulled out an old locket and looked at it sadly and opened it, looking at the pictures inside it. They were his daughter and her husband. The father pulled a red rose from his inside coat pocket and lay the rose on the wet road. As the father knelt laying the rose there was a noise nearby on the road like a splash in the puddle, he looked up and saw a man with a gun trained on him.
