  On Ghosts

  "We all believe in ghosts, even if we say we don't."
  
  In this atmospheric and intellectually sharp essay, Mary Shelley explores the universal human fascination with the spectral world. Rather than a simple collection of scares, "On Ghosts" examines the psychological "vibration" we feel when we hear a tale of the uncanny. Shelley recounts eerie anecdotes from her own travels and social circles, questioning whether ghosts are external entities or reflections of our own inner anxieties. With her characteristic blend of haunting imagery and rational inquiry, she invites readers to consider why we seek out the very things that terrify us most.
  
  The Psychology of Fear: Shelley argues that the belief in ghosts is rooted in our deepest emotions—specifically our inability to let go of the dead. She explores the idea that the "ghosts" we see are often the products of a heightened imagination or a guilty conscience, making the supernatural a deeply personal experience.
  
  A Bridge Between Science and Spirit: Writing during a time when science was beginning to challenge ancient superstitions, Shelley positions herself as a skeptical yet open observer. She doesn't just ask if ghosts exist, but why the human soul seems to require them to make sense of the world's mysteries.
  
  A Must-Read for Horror Fans: For anyone who has ever felt a shiver down their spine in an empty room, this essay provides a profound "why." It is an essential companion piece to Frankenstein, revealing the theoretical foundations of Shelley's fictional nightmares.

  Ever experience lust at first sight and know the person is wrong for you in every way? 
   
   
   
  HIM 
   
   
   
  My demons are mine to slay. My burdens are mine to carry. I've never been a knight in shining armor. More like a savage in dusty timbs condemned to spend my existence taking lives. Therefore, the last thing I want to do is save hers even if my family dictates I'm the best man for the job. Then again, only God judges who goes to heaven and hell and maybe this could tip the scale in my favor. But could giving into temptation erase this good deed? She is a vixen after all, testing my patience and my will. 
   
   
   
  HER 
   
   
   
  He doesn't think I deserve his help and honestly, I don't blame him. He doesn't like that I'm not from his world and truthfully, he's right. He's the only Crowne I didn't want to help me and yet, he's exactly who I got. While his eyes may seem murderous, there's something else there too. Something he doesn't want me to see. He's warned me to leave him alone and I listen . . . Until I don't.

  There is something about the number 3.  
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
