  Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
   
  Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
   
  Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
   
  After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
   
  In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
   
  Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
   
  After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
   
  For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
   
  Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73

  Durante just does his job and hopes he gets a break. When he's not drinking or enjoying some good eats, he's policing Vampires of all things with the aid of an Empath who's not really his type. Meanwhile, two nefarious Vamps by the names of Ryker and Malik are brewing up a storm with hopes of a takeover, or at the very least upsetting the Vampire-Human coexistence. 
   If that isn't enough, his pals are dropping like flies. 
   Now it's up to Durante and a couple of shrewd agents to get to the bottom of the recent slayings and uncover the mystery to a set of books known as the Lycan. They must, before the wrong hands do, and the world plummets into a kind of hell, that which no one, not even Vampires, wants to enter. 
   Blood matters.

  "Dagon" is a short story by American author H.P. Lovecraft. It was written in July 1917 and is one of the first stories that Lovecraft wrote as an adult. It was first published in the November 1919 edition of The Vagrant. Dagon was later published in Weird Tales. It is considered by many to be one of Lovecraft's most forward-looking stories.The story is the testament of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who relates an incident that occurred during his service as an officer during World War I. In the unnamed narrator's account, his cargo ship is captured by an Imperial German sea-raider in "one of the most open and least frequented parts of the broad Pacific". He escapes on a lifeboat and drifts aimlessly, south of the equator, until he eventually finds himself stranded on "a slimy expanse of hellish black mire which extended about [him] in monotonous undulations as far as [he] could see  The region wasputrid with the carcasses of decaying fish and less describable things which [he] saw protruding from the nasty mud of the unending plain." He theorizes that this area was formerly a portion of the ocean floor thrown to the surface by volcanic activity, "exposing regions which for innumerable millions of years had lain hidden under unfathomable watery depths.

  A dream holiday. A fractured couple. And one of them won’t make it home. 
   
  James and Laura escape to the sun-drenched hills of Andalusia for what is meant to be a much-needed break. She’s a trauma therapist, burnt out after the suicide of a vulnerable client. He’s reeling from layoffs at work. A week in a remote finca might be just what they need to reconnect. 
   
  But within hours of arriving, Laura vanishes. 
   
  There’s no sign of a struggle. No note. Just silence. James is frantic. With no neighbours for miles—aside from a mysterious Dutch family he was certain shouldn’t be there—he turns to Carmen, the flirtatious owner of a nearby bar, for help. She’s eager to assist... maybe too eager. 
   
  When Detective Isabella Santos is assigned to the case, she quickly finds herself navigating a maze of contradictions. James’s medical history suggests he may not be telling the whole truth—or even remembering it. Carmen’s involvement begins to raise more questions than it answers. A local drunk insists he knows where Laura is. And then there’s the Dutch family in the neighbouring finca—especially their unsettling son, who creeps around James’s property with a grin that never quite reaches his eyes. 
   
  As secrets surface and the clock ticks, Santos must decide who to trust. Because in the blazing heat of the Spanish countryside, nothing is quite what it seems. And Laura’s time is running out. 
   
  A tense, unsettling psychological thriller that explores how easily the mind bends under pressure—and how far people will go to keep their secrets buried.

  Schlock horror director Landis Woodley lives in a decaying mansion in the Hollywood Hills. When he abandoned the movie business—after being reduced to filming skin flicks and peep shows—he also left a laundry list of enemies, including the IRS. But avid fan Clint Stockbern is determined to write a piece on the alcoholic recluse for Monster magazine. Woodley agrees to the interview—for $600 in cash. 
   
   
    
  As the tape recorder starts rolling, Stockbern travels back in time with Woodley. He hears recollections of Attack of the Haunted Saucer, the worst movie of all time, and Blood Ghouls of Malibu. But he really wants to know about Woodley's masterpiece, Cadaver. Shot on location in the Los Angeles County morgue, the film was rumored to have used real corpses and everyone associated with the production has been fatally haunted since its 1957 release. But the truth is far more terrifying than Stockbern imagined. Is a dead Satanist, possessed by the devil, reaching out beyond the grave? Or is the reporter the final victim in a diabolical scheme dreamed up by mortals? 
   
   
    
  Horror Show is a wild and wacky romp that sends up mid-century Hollywood horror movies and schlockmeisters Roger Corman, William Castle, and Ed Wood.
