  The world has ended, the dead walk the earth, and a profound silence has fallen over the land.
   
  There are no more cars to be heard chugging down the dirt road at the foot of the driveway. There are no more airplanes painting vapor trails across the sky. No more air-conditioners thrumming in windows, no more dogs barking in the distance. The world is getting settled once again.
   
  Two children, brother and sister, survive together on an isolated Montana farm. Their days are simple - find food, avoid the dead. They are the remnants of civilization, refugees from a vanished world.
   
  Whispers of a new civilization in the New Mexico desert and a chance encounter with a band of renegade soldiers convinces them to strike out on the open road, to abandon the relative safety of the farm and fall in with strangers.
   
  But the living may be worse than the dead.
   
  Part 1 of a continuing series.

  Once a renowned opera Diva, lethal duellist and scandalous libertine, Julie d'Aubigny carries the vampiric contagion in her veins five decades after her apparent death. In a life of inhuman power and cruel sensuality, she navigates the occult intrigues of Europe with the aid of twin companions, facing down enemies both righteous and unholy. Arnold Brennan is a devout young clergyman who believes that all evil stems from mankind's rebellion against God's laws, and that so-called monsters are nought but pagan myth and fanciful superstition. But events set in motion by his father's murder will lead him on a search for truth that brings him face to face with inhuman forces. As their paths cross, these very different individuals must contend with the deadly machinations of hostile occult societies and ancient, merciless predators.

  Amelia Edwards - A Short Story...

  Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
   
  In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
   
  Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
   
  In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
   
  To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
   
  After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.

  We have the pleasure of presenting not only three more stories by Mary Louisa herself, but also one by her son Bevil.The first story, The Shadow in the Moonlight, is one of her scariest. A plucky young lady and her brothers confront a ghost that brings the cold of death. Can they resist?The second story, At The Dip In The Road, is classic Molesworth - a sudden, mysterious encounter that leaves us with unanswerable questions of life and death.In Old Gervais, we encounter a different sort of ghost - one that cares very much about work left unfinished and clients left unsatisfied. Who knew that ghosts care about customer service?Last but not least, the story by her son Bevil not only captures a wonderfully uncanny moment, but also presents us with a rare glimpse of life in Patagonia a century ago. It's pretty generally thought that Mary Louisa did a pretty thorough revision of it, but it's a good story and clearly one that she cared about very much.Enjoy!
