  Dr Blake Alexander is Dr Death 
  What is Fetch a term meaning the meeting of two doppelgängers. 
  "What the-!" said Dr Death seeing a grim reaper, "You can't be here." "Why?" asked the reaper Mortimer curiously. "You know as well as I do," said the doctor. "Yes, you're right, this is ridiculous," said Mortimer. "It is insane," said Dr Death. "Glad you agree," said Mortimer. "Why are you talking to yourself, Dad?" asked the Necromancer, seeing them as he entered the morgue. "I don't know why, boy," said Dr Death, puzzled. "I came to talk to him," said the reaper. "How can you be here, I am you?" said Dr Death. "Oh I forgot to tell me, did I?" said Mortimer. "Yes!" said Dr Death. "I travelled from the future to warn me I am going to die if I don't catch the Necromancer," said Mortimer. "What?" said Dr Death, glaring at his son. "I don't want to hurt you!" said the Necromancer. "Sorry not him the other one," said Mortimer. "What other one?" asked Dr Death. "The fake one," said Mortimer. "I have a copycat?" said the Necromancer, feeling flattered. "He wants to kill me, you psycho," said Dr Death. "Sorry," said the Necromancer. "I got to go," Mortimer said and poofed into thin air. "Wonder where he has to go?" said the Necromancer. "Probably judging himself," said Dr Death. "You said it, not me," said the Necromancer amused. Dr Death glared at him. 
  The copycat kills only Magicians. 
  Dr Blake Alexander and the others set out a 
  trap for the killer he can not resist a stage 
  performance by the leader of the magicians 
  but will Blake survive or will he die as foretold?

  All words have a value, they have a truth.  Even misinforming us is part of their job.  But they are only words, sticks and stones etc etc. 
   
  But in this volume our authors explore the use of curses.  These strings of words might seem harmless enough if you don’t believe they can have any ill effect.  Little by little, though, sometimes they do.   Our brains connect curse with that action, that happening and now we might be seeing them as cause and effect.   Perhaps that curse really does have some power, some potency, and if that is so maybe that curse is malevolent and its true purpose is not to wish us good.

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
  "The Cats of Ulthar" is a short story written by American fantasy author H. P. Lovecraft in June 1920. In the tale, an unnamed narrator relates the story of how a law forbidding the killing of cats came to be in a town called Ulthar. As the narrative goes, the city is home to an old couple who enjoy capturing and killing the townspeople's cats. When a caravan of wanderers passes through the city, the kitten of an orphan (Menes) traveling with the band disappears. Upon hearing of the couple's violent acts towards cats, Menes invokes a prayer before leaving town that causes the local felines to swarm the cat-killers' house and devour them. Upon witnessing the result, the local politicians pass a law forbidding the killing of cats. 
  Influenced by Lord Dunsany, the tale was a personal favorite of Lovecraft's and has remained popular since his death. Considered one of the best short stories of Lovecraft's early period, aspects of "The Cats of Ulthar" would be referenced again in the author's works The Other Gods and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. It was first published in the literary journal Tryout in November 1920 and now resides in the public domain.
