Summary

A collection of esoteric fiction, 'The Indigo Flame' contains four standalone novels from author Isobel Blackthorn, now available in one volume!
 
The Drago Tree: Haunted by demons past and present, geologist Ann Salter seeks sanctuary on the exotic island of Lanzarote. Ann’s encounters with the island’s hidden treasures becomes a journey deep inside herself, as she struggles to understand who she was, who she is, and who she wants to be. Set against a panoramic backdrop of dramatic island landscapes and Spanish colonial history, The Drago Tree is an intriguing tale of betrayal, conquest and love.
 
The Unlikely Occultist: Librarian Heather Brown discovers the fascinating life of Alice Bailey - a long forgotten occultist. Back in 1931, Alice is preparing to give a speech at a Swiss summer school. But how can she stave the tide of hatred and greed set to bring the world to its knees? What she doesn't realize is the enormity of her influence to the world, and the real enemies who are much closer than she thinks. A dynamic and complex figure, Alice Bailey was widely regarded as the Mother of the New Age.
 
Emma's Tapestry: At the dawn of World War Two, German-born nurse Emma Taylor sits by the bedside of a Jewish heiress in London as she reminisces over her past. She’s taken back to her days in Singapore on the eve of World War One, and her struggle to fit into colonial life and the need to hide her true identity. Emma is caught up in history, the highs, the lows, the adventures. A deadly mutiny, terrifying rice riots and a confrontation with the Ku Klux Klan bring home, for all migrants, the fragility of belonging.
 
A Perfect Square: Across two continents, two sets of mothers and daughters are bound by a dark mystery. On a winter’s day in the Dandenong Ranges, Australia, pianist Ginny returns home to her eccentric mother, Harriet. Ginny tries to prise the truth of her father’s disappearance. In an effort to distract her daughter’s interrogations, Harriet proposes they collaborate on an exhibition of paintings and songs. Meanwhile, on the edge of Dartmoor, artist Judith paints landscapes of the Australian Outback to soothe her troubled heart, as her wayward daughter Madeleine returns and fills the house with darkness.

    Akin to being a DARKER version of The Princess Bride and The King in Yellow. 
    Reading this book is like going into a trippy play where animals talk and there are bizarre characters. It is a mind-bending read with interesting characters and a story plot. Believe it or not, it does have a lesson to the story, we all wear masks to hide our true selves. 
    Talented storyteller: he paints entire scenes with plenty of details. His characters are gorgeously written, making the novel very easy to read at lightning speed. As you can see this book is highly reflective of the thoughts we share in our heads once in a while. The story is mysterious and poetic at the same time, giving a resemblance to Hamlet.

    For Karyn, it was the howling. The howling that had heralded the nightmare in Drago, the nightmare that had joined her husband Roy to the she-wolf Marcia and should have ended forever with the fire. But it hadn’t. Roy and Marcia were still alive, deadly, and thirsty for the most horrifying vengeance imaginable.

    "Supernatural Horror in Literature" is a essay by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, surveying the development and achievements of horror fiction as the field stood in the 1920s and 30s. The essay was researched and written between November 1925 and May 1927, first published in August 1927, and then revised and expanded during 1933–1934.Lovecraft's essay ranges widely, but he first examines the beginnings of weird fiction in the early gothic novel. As a guide for what to read in the early gothic he relied partly on Edith Birkhead's 1921 historical survey The Tale of Terror, and he was also able to draw on the expertise of the great many experts and collectors in his circle. The bulk of the essay was written in New York City giving Lovecraft easy access to the resources of the city's great public libraries and also to the collections of his friends, and thus he was able to read widely and obtain obscure and rare works. His survey then proceeds to outline the development of the supernatural and the weird in the work of major writers such as Ambrose Bierce, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe. Lovecraft names as the four "modern masters" of horror: Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany, M. R. James, and Arthur Machen. In addition to these masters, Lovecraft attempts to make the essay an encompassing survey, and thus he mentions or notes many others in passing.

    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.
