  "Ex Oblivione" is a prose poem by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in late 1920 or early 1921 and first published in The United Amateur in March 1921, under the pseudonym Ward Phillips.It is written in first person and tells of the dreams of a presumably dying man. In his dreams, the man is walking through a valley and encounters a vine-covered wall with a locked bronze gate therein. He longs to know what lies beyond the gate. Then one night, the man dreams of the dream-city Zakarion, in which he finds a yellowed papyrus written by wise dream-sages who exist only within the dream world. The papyrus tells of the gate, with varying accounts of what lies beyond: some of the dream-sages tell of immense wonders, while others tell of horror and disappointment. Despite this lack of unanimity, the man still wishes to see for himself, even knowing that whichever of these is true, there will be no return. Thus he reads further into the papyrus and learns of a drug which will unlock the gate. The next night he swallows the drug and returns to the gate which is now ajar, but upon entering, he discovers that indeed both accounts within the papyrus are in a sense true: beyond is the wonderment of forever being free from the pain of the real world and the happy surprise that nothing lies beyond the gate but the infinite void that is death.

  Until the day she walked, or rather dragged herself into the centre of town, most people thought that Amy Schiller was a myth.Certainly, she had been a story, circulated amongst the kids of the town since long before I joined the police service, so far back in fact, that I had heard it when I was a child myself. In the story I heard, Amy was supposed to be a ghost. In other versions, she was something more like a monster or witch, but we’ll get to that. In the end though, in reality, Amy was neither a myth nor a ghost, and her case turned out to be far worse than any of those tales that children whisper in the dark.I suppose it was inevitable that..

  Margaret Gabrielle Vere Campbell was born on the 1st November 1885 on Hayling Island in Hampshire.  
   
  Her childhood was fraught with problems, her alcoholic father left early in her life and was later found dead on a London Street.  Life thereafter was poverty with an uncaring mother. 
   
  However, her talents took her to the Slade School of Fine Art and later to study in Paris.  
   
  Her first fiction, written at a mere 16, was a violent medieval historical novel, ‘The Viper of Milan’.  Initially rejected by several publishers it went on to become a best-seller  
   
  After this her prolific writings were the main financial support for the family.  Her literary output numbered over 150 volumes, mainly under the pseudonym of Marjorie Bowen but she also used the names Joseph Shearing, George R Preedy, John Winch, Robert Paye and Margaret Campbell.  Within this output she assigned the pseudonyms to the various genres she worked across, from Historical fiction to supernatural short stories.  
   
  Perhaps her best known work is the 1909 book ‘Black Magic’, a Gothic horror novel about a medieval witch. 
   
  Several of her works were also adapted into films.   
   
  She was married twice.  The first to Zefferino Emilio Constanza (they had two children), who died of tuberculosis, and then to Arthur L Long (and another two children). 
   
  Marjorie Bowen died on the 23rd December 1952 at St Charles Hospital in North Kensington, London after suffering a serious concussion from a fall in her bedroom.  She was 67.
