Crypt T - The Past Never Forgets Its Dead

J. K. Maddox

Sinopsis

When Marsh, a reluctant historian, agrees to lead a reenactment tour at the long-abandoned Gallowmere Prison, he expects nothing more than cold stone, urban legends, and a paycheck. But from the moment he unlocks the gate, something is wrong. The air tastes like memory. The corridors rearrange themselves. The guests begin to vanish.

Among them is Alma, a trauma counselor with eyes too knowing and a voice that stirs something buried in Marsh's bones. As cryptic letters appear in his own handwriting—dated 1871—and lost hours stretch into black holes, Marsh begins to question the boundaries of identity, time, and truth.

The prison doesn't just hold echoes. It remembers.

And it’s been waiting for him.

With each step into Gallowmere’s decaying wings, Marsh is drawn deeper into a labyrinth of forgotten crimes, false names, and the unraveling of everything he thought was real.

But some stories don’t stay buried.

Some names were never meant to be erased.

And some prisons were never built to contain the guilty…

Who was Marsh before the door opened?

And what will he become when the stone starts breathing again?

The Stockbroker's Clerk -...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Stockbroker's Clerk" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the fourth of the twelve collected in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and third of eleven in most American ones (owing to the omission of the "scandalous" "Adventure of the Cardboard Box"). The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1893 and featured seven illustrations by Sidney Paget.
A young clerk, Hall Pycroft, consults Holmes with his suspicions concerning a company that has offered him a very well-paid job. Holmes, Watson and Pycroft travel by train to Birmingham, where the job is initially to be based, and Pycroft explains that he was recently made redundant from a stockbroking house. He eventually secured a new post with another group of stockbrokers, Mawson and Williams, in Lombard Street in the City. Before taking up the job, he was approached by Arthur Pinner, who offered him a managership with a newly established hardware distribution company, to be based in France.

The Well of Saint Nobody

Neil Jordan

William Barrow finds himself in lonely retirement in West Cork. Once an internationally renowned pianist, a terrible skin disease has attacked his hands and made it impossible for him to perform.

Tara is a piano teacher with barely enough pupils to pay the month's rent. In the local café, the elegant writing of a job advertisement catches her eye: 'WANTED. HOUSEKEEPER.'

She begins to work in William's house, keeping to herself the knowledge that they have met three times before, encounters that have changed her life. He is oblivious to this, while she spins tales of the well discovered in his back garden and of a mythical saint, of the healing powers of the water and the moss that surrounds it. But as the moss begins to heal William's troubled hands, the lines between legend and reality begin to blur, secrets resurface, and past and present collide in unexpected ways.

Praise for the author:
'One of the most inventive artists of our day' John Banville.

'This strange relationship – of indenture, but also of mutual need – defines this thrillingly written, gripping tale that revisits many of Jordan's lifelong preoccupations with class, Irishness and sexuality to powerful moving effect' Observer.

'The historical research is evident [and] as with his previous novels, Jordan creates an evocative sense of time and place... Although the book is an odyssey, tracking thousands of miles across the globe, the pace is leisurely' The Times.

'Jordan is a writer of uncommon talent, particularly around pacing and visual description' Irish Times.

'An expertly spun ballad defined by themes of belonging, illusion and, fundamentally, fidelity' ? RTÉ Culture
