It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.

    She calls herself his wife. She kills to prove it.  
    "Jyll and Jack went up the hill… and only Jyll came back."  
    It’s been six years since Jack Steen walked away from Jyll Steen—the woman who believes she is his secret wife, the daughter of a killer, and now a killer herself. But Jyll never forgot.   
    Not the Vegas weekend. Not the rejection. And not the secrets Jack carries in his midnight recordings.  
    In her first letter, Jyll whispers her devotion in rhyme before confessing her latest crime: the abduction and unraveling of a man who reminded her just a little too much of Jack.   
    Every detail is for him—every cut, every lie, every breath.  
    Dear Jack: Love Letters from Your Serial Killer Wife begins here—with a vow written in blood, a souvenir meant just for him, and a chilling reminder that Jyll isn’t done. Not by a long shot.

    "There you are Doctor, we were looking everywhere for you. We have another job for you," an orderly said. 
    "For heaven's sake don't beat around the bush!" Grumbled the Doctor. 
    "Another freshy for you!" said the orderly. 
    "Please refrain from referring to them as freshies call them a dead person!" hissed the doctor. 
    "Ok another dead person!" said the orderly. 
    "Take me to them," the doctor demanded. 
    "Doctor Death has come to do his job," announced the orderly to the nervous nurse inside the room with the body. 
    "I'm a coroner, not Doctor Death," said the Doctor entering the room. 
    "So sorry!" a reaper said walking out of the room. The doctor ran to the bedside of the dead person. 
    "Oh my god no," the doctor said weeping tears of blue electric fire which crystalized betraying his inhumanity to his colleagues. 
    "Blue Midnight is Doctor Death!" cried the orderly. 
    "Really, Sherlock how didn't you know!" said Blake crying, 
    "I was called here by my son because my wife was critical!" 
    "I just told him about his wife's death! Hey! That's your job telling people their relatives are dead!" the orderly moaned. 
    "I'll do you the same favor one day!" snarled Blake. 
    A man in a mask and a tux stood by a grave of his friend's dead wife. 
    "Angela Alexander you will live again!" The man said, "You will reincarnate in the past!" 
    "Argent. What are you doing lurking in the graveyard!" Angela's grieving widower snapped finding it an odd place to find fate. 
    "Oh hi, Mortimer what bring the king of the grim reapers here?" Argent said. 
    "My wife is buried here It gives me a right and reason to be here," said

    Reign Phillips has just earned her PhD in ancient languages when her Professor returns from Greece with treasure for the University of New Mexico; fifty-six mummified remains and a puzzling sealed gold casket that doesn't seem to fit any time period. 
    Accompanying him is the man responsible for brokering the deal with the university, Damon Sarantos. Unknown to anyone, Damon himself had buried the casket almost two thousand years before. 
    Reign is a woman Damon can't ignore and desperately wants to win. Her vibrant light soothes the darkness inside him, even as it pulls her away and warns her not to love him. As she decodes the mysterious writing on the outside of the casket, Damon must work to gain her trust and win her heart. 
    Can he be the man she wants him to be? Or will they be eternally separated by his partly demonic nature? The casket holds the answer, and opening it will either bring peace or unleash a darkness that threatens to engulf the entire world.
