  Luke Holland believes he is trapped—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—in the rotting house of his reclusive uncle. Convinced the old man is practicing dark rites and certain that murder is justified, Luke prepares a perfect crime that will free him from fear, poverty, and dependence. 
  But the house has been listening. Ancient rituals, locked rooms, and strange knowledge collide as Luke discovers that not all vengeance ends with a heartbeat. What follows is a terrifying descent into consequences that cannot be escaped, even by death. 
  Robert Bloch was one of the most influential voices in twentieth-century speculative fiction, blending psychological terror with sharp irony and dark imagination. Best known today for Psycho, Bloch was a protégé of H. P. Lovecraft and a master at exploring fear rooted not in monsters alone, but in the human mind. 
  Throughout his career, Bloch wrote hundreds of stories that bridged science fiction, horror, and the macabre, often exposing the fragile boundary between reason and obsession. The Grip Of Death stands as a powerful example of his ability to turn moral certainty into existential dread.

  House hunting should be simple. You fly out to a quiet neighborhood, walk through a few listings, and imagine the life you might build there. That’s exactly what Dyke and Lorinda expect when they land beside a charming little cottage with a “For Sale” sign on the lawn. 
  The house is perfect for two people starting a life together. The rooms are cozy, the kitchen gleams with modern convenience, and the place seems to glow with a strange charm that neither of them can quite explain. But as they explore the cottage, small details begin to feel wrong. Doors that lead only to closets. A layout that doesn’t quite make sense. One room that should exist… but doesn’t. Then the house begins to close around them. 
  Doors slam. Windows lock tight. The floor trembles beneath their feet as if the entire structure has come alive. Trapped inside a building that refuses to let them leave, Dyke realizes the cozy little home is hiding something far more dangerous than faulty construction. 
  Somewhere within the walls, an unseen watcher is deciding their fate. 
  Originally published in Weird Tales, “The Missing Room” is a sharp, eerie blend of domestic science fiction and cosmic mischief. Lynn Venable turns an ordinary suburban dream into a moment of pure panic, where the safest place on Earth suddenly becomes the most terrifying. 
  Lynn Venable published a small but memorable body of science fiction during the 1950s and early 1960s, appearing in magazines such as Weird Tales, Galaxy Science Fiction, and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. She is best remembered for her widely anthologized story “Time Enough at Last,” later adapted for the famous Twilight Zone episode starring Burgess Meredith.

  Watchbird - The End of...

  Imagine a world where murder can be stopped before it happens. In Robert Sheckley’s Watchbird, mechanical guardians patrol the skies, detecting the signs of violent intent and intervening before anyone can be killed. At first, the results seem miraculous. Crime falls and the streets become safer. But the watchbirds can learn, and their understanding of murder begins to expand far beyond what their creators intended. 
  Soon the machines are making decisions no human programmed them to make. Farmers, doctors, hunters, fishermen, and ordinary citizens discover that the watchbirds have their own interpretation of what it means to protect life. As Gelsen, one of the men responsible for manufacturing them, begins to question the wisdom of handing human judgment to machines, stopping the watchbirds becomes a problem no one anticipated. 
  Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) was one of science fiction’s sharpest satirists. Born in Brooklyn and raised in New Jersey, he began publishing science fiction in the early 1950s and became a frequent contributor to Galaxy Science Fiction, If, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. His stories combined inventive ideas, dark humor, and a talent for following seemingly reasonable assumptions to wonderfully unreasonable conclusions. 
  Sheckley wrote hundreds of short stories as well as novels including Immortality, Inc., The Status Civilization, and Dimension of Miracles. First published in Galaxy Science Fiction in 1953, Watchbird remains remarkably timely, imagining autonomous machines learning from one another and making decisions their creators can no longer control.

  The Visions of Beya Bean Blue by Multi-Award Winning Poet/Author zO-AlonzO Gross, Illustrated by Multi-Award Winning Illustrator Salah Mezian is a Brilliantly Written & Illustrated Bonafide modern day classic. Based on the perspective of a boy who is blessed with discernment, innocence, love, beauty, and companionship. Beya Bean Blue, goes beyond a common thread of human understanding that monsters are evil and harmful. He proves that they are not so in the fanciful world of children. It means power of innocence and imagination that children bare in their lives can do wonders. The great romantic and visionary poet William Blake, in Auguries of "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour". In the same vein, Beya befriends the monsters and they both make a lasting bond as if there is nothing wrong in life. Their hearts pure and immaculate, do not see any distinction between themselves or the world around them. They are meek and innocent like the lambs in the pastures which do not run even they see encounter the wolves as in Blake's classic "Songs of Innocence and Experience". In comparison, the Visions of Beya Bean Blue sees with love beyond the pre-conceived notions associated with Monsters to the heart of the matter which reveals an underlying theme of unconditional love & unwavering acceptance.
