The Lantern Kids - Face Your Fear or Become It

Eddie Kain

Sinopsis

In the summer of 1997, six kids from the sleepy town of Widdershade discover a rusted, blood-streaked lantern buried in the woods. When lit, the lantern shows them ghosts-not just any ghosts, but themselves, dead in different, twisted ways.
 
Each time they light it, the visions grow worse. They try to bury it, break it, burn it-but the lantern always finds its way back.
 
One by one, their worst fears begin to manifest in real life, and the kids realize the lantern is a curse tied to an unsolved string of child disappearances from the 1950s.
 
Now, as summer ends, they must uncover the dark history of Widdershade, stop the lantern's growing power, and face the truth: one of them is already marked to die.

Heroic Stanzas - The Age of...

John Dryden

John Dryden was born on August 9th, 1631 in the village rectory of Aldwincle near Thrapston in Northamptonshire. As a boy Dryden lived in the nearby village of Titchmarsh, Northamptonshire. In 1644 he was sent to Westminster School as a King's Scholar.
Dryden obtained his BA in 1654, graduating top of the list for Trinity College, Cambridge that year.
Returning to London during The Protectorate, Dryden now obtained work with Cromwell's Secretary of State, John Thurloe.
At Cromwell's funeral on 23 November 1658 Dryden was in the company of the Puritan poets John Milton and Andrew Marvell. The setting was to be a sea change in English history. From Republic to Monarchy and from one set of lauded poets to what would soon become the Age of Dryden.
The start began later that year when Dryden published the first of his great poems, Heroic Stanzas (1658), a eulogy on Cromwell's death.
With the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660 Dryden celebrated in verse with Astraea Redux, an authentic royalist panegyric.
With the re-opening of the theatres after the Puritan ban, Dryden began to also write plays. His first play, The Wild Gallant, appeared in 1663 but was not successful. From 1668 on he was contracted to produce three plays a year for the King's Company, in which he became a shareholder. During the 1660s and '70s, theatrical writing was his main source of income.
In 1667, he published Annus Mirabilis, a lengthy historical poem which described the English defeat of the Dutch naval fleet and the Great Fire of London in 1666. It established him as the pre-eminent poet of his generation, and was crucial in his attaining the posts of Poet Laureate (1668) and then historiographer royal (1670).
This was truly the Age of Dryden, he was the foremost English Literary figure in Poetry, Plays, translations and other forms.
In 1694 he began work on what would be his most ambitious and defining work as translator, The Works of Virgil (1697), which was published by subscription. It was a national event.
John Dryden died on May 12th, 1700, and was initially buried in St. Anne's cemetery in Soho, before being exhumed and reburied in Westminster Abbey ten days later.

Account of a Visit from Saint...

Clement Clark Moore

"A Visit from St. Nicholas", routinely referred to as "The Night Before Christmas" and "Twas the Night Before Christmas" from its first line, is a poem first published anonymously under the title "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas" in 1823. Authorship has been attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who claimed authorship in 1837, but it has also been suggested that Henry Livingston Jr. may have written it. While the authorship may be questioned by some, the poem remains a favorite during the Christmas season and helps conjure up visions of sugarplums and secret gifts for children even to this day.
