  Bithia Mary Sheppard was born in Kilgefin, County Roscommon, Ireland, the only daughter of an Anglican Church of Ireland rector.  
   
  She was educated at Rockferry, Cheshire and in Tours, France.  
   
  Her initial fame rested as a horsewoman with the Kildare Hunt.  
   
  In 1871, she married John Stokes Croker, an officer in the Royal Scots Fusiliers and later the Royal Munster Fusiliers. 
   
  In 1877, the couple moved to Madras and then Bengal. They would spend 14 years in India. 
   
  Bithia only began writing at the age of 33 and in her life wrote 42 novels and 7 volumes of short stories.  Within her short story creations are much anthologized ghost, supernatural and macabre tales.  Many of her novels reveal a side of Empire that is undeniably of its time and a fine example of both talent and observation. 
   
  After her husband's retirement at the rank of lieutenant-colonel in 1892, the couple moved to County Wicklow, then London, and finally Folkestone, where her husband died in 1911.

  ¨He was a Cambridge man and, having no other living relatives and few friends outside of those whom he could also count as colleagues, he spent much of the ink from his pen not expended upon notes and essays, corresponding with his ever loving and miraculously ever patient sibling.A sibling, who, for her part, had become somewhat accustomed to her brother’s habit of sharing his thoughts and musings in these interminable scrawlings. She, to her credit, maintained the habit of reading and responding to them in a timely fashion. Albeit whilst also maintaining the necessary habit of skim reading some of the more self-indulgent philosophical musings, of the type that this particular missive threatened to become.¨

  When a blood-stained effigy of body parts is found in a central London park, D.I Daniel Graves must set about trying to discover what it could mean and find the person responsible. Symbols at the crime scene suggest the occult. Who would leave a murder victim in such a way, and why? As Graves and partner D.I. Charlie Palmer begin to investigate the ritual and the act of human sacrifice, they enlist the help of Charlotte Gooding, a talented professor specializing in the subject. They hope to narrow down a motive—could the killer believe in the supernatural? Witchcraft, even? Then the next crime scene is found. More blood, more symbols, and out in the open. It seems the killer wants the world to pay attention, but why? How are they choosing their victims? The pressure is on for Graves to put an end to the murders before more remains show up in brutal tableaus. One thing is for sure: this killer is out for blood, and they're not afraid to make it a very public display. There's just one problem. Grave's past still isn't behind him. Someone is eager to make sure he doesn't forget, that he cannot move on, and they're not playing games anymore. There may be an occult killer out there, but now there's another out for blood—Daniel Grave's blood.

  Aleister Crowley - A Short Story...

  Aleister Crowley

  Edward Alexander Crowley was born on 12th October 1875 to wealthy parents in Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. 
   
  He was educated at Malvern College, Tonbridge School, Eastbourne College and finally Trinity College, Cambridge where he focused on his passions of mountaineering and poetry and published several volumes. 
   
  Life for Crowley was to abandon his parents’ Christian faith and instead to inject himself into Western esotericism.  In 1898, he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and was trained in ceremonial magic before studying both Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. 
   
  On his Egyptian honeymoon in 1904 he claimed contact with an entity―Aiwass―who gave him the sacred Book of the Law which served as the basis for the Thelema religion where he identified as its prophet.  During the Great War, which he spent in the United States, he claimed to be working for British Intelligence but by the 1920s he had decamped to pursue a libertine lifestyle in Sicily, and in the ensuing scandals was evicted by the Italian Government. 
   
  He divided the following two decades between France, Germany, and England, and the continuing promotion of Thelema. 
   
  During his life he gained widespread notoriety for his drug use, his bisexuality, and his alarming views on society.  In short, polite society frowned on his ways, his thoughts and his influence but to many others his stance had much of value.  Even after death he was a darling for the 60’s counterculture but his influence has since waned.   
   
  His literary works were both prolific and covered many topics.  In the early part of his career he published many poetry books, even plays, before his darker and more forceful works came to dominate his output. 
   
  Aleister Crowley died on 1st December 1947 at Hastings in England. He was 72.

  Mrs. Merriweather Mirrors is a chilling descent into a world where the dead refuse to rest, vengeance never sleeps, and ancient rituals pulse with terrible power. What begins as a string of ruthless killings soon unravels into something far more sinister, an awakening. The townspeople whisper about Mrs. Merriweather, a figure once dismissed as folklore, now feared as the living embodiment of wrath returned from the grave. 
   
  As the boundary between the living and the dead fractures, those who dare to look too closely find themselves entangled in a web of resurrected secrets and supernatural reckoning. Shadows move with intention. Voices echo from places no voice should reach. And every ritual performed in desperation only feeds the hunger of what has already been unleashed. 
   
  At the heart of the terror lies a truth long buried: revenge has a memory, and Mrs. Merriweather remembers everything. 
   
  Atmospheric, relentless, and steeped in dark magic, Mrs. Merriweather Mirrors invite readers into a haunting tale where survival depends not on strength, but on understanding the ancient forces that bind the living to the dead. This is horror that lingers long after the final page is turned.
