Sinossi

In "The Garden of Resurrection," E. Temple Thurston crafts an evocative narrative that intertwines themes of life, death, and rebirth within a lyrical prose style. Set against the backdrop of a decaying estate, the novel explores the delicate interplay between human emotions and the natural world, illuminating the cyclical nature of existence. Thurston employs rich imagery and metaphors that draw the reader into a contemplative space, inviting them to ponder the philosophical dimensions of resurrection not just as a physical phenomenon but as a symbolic resurrection of the soul and spirit. The early 20th-century context of post-Victorian literature provides a poignant lens through which Thurston's exploration of existential questions emerges, resonating with contemporary themes of identity and renewal. E. Temple Thurston, a notable figure in early 20th-century literature, was influenced by his experiences in the arts and his keen observations of human relationships. His background as a playwright and poet is evident in the fluidity and emotional depth of his prose. The personal tragedies he encountered, alongside the societal upheavals of his time, informed his exploration of mortality and the human condition, establishing a rich backdrop for this profound narrative. Readers seeking a deeply introspective journey into the cycles of life will find "The Garden of Resurrection" a rich and rewarding exploration. Thurston's ability to weave beautiful language with profound themes makes this work not only a captivating read but also an essential study for those interested in the intricate relationship between nature and humanity.

Living in a haunted house is going to be the death of me . . . Potentially literally. 
 
 
 
In an attempt to cleanse whatever entity Trina and I let into my house after our bout with a Ouija board, things have only gotten worse. When the entity begins to sap Drake's strength, I realize I have to do something and that something needs to be done now . . . 
 
 
 
While Drake does definitely drive me crazy with his pretentious airs, his womanizing ways and his jealousy, the idea of coming home to an empty house leaves me feeling . . . well, empty. Yes, it's true—I'm pretty fond of my ghostly Casanova. 
 
 
 
Meanwhile, whatever this entity is, it's getting stronger and more aggressive. It appears to be mimicking the attacks of the Axeman, a murderer who terrorized New Orleans over one hundred years earlier. 
 
 
 
And there's only so much Ryan can do to help me, considering he's corporeal. 
 
 
 
When forced to make a decision to protect Drake, I'll face a consequence that could put my blossoming relationship with Ryan on hold . . . forever.
