  One of the Magicians suffers from human nature, and the brazen, devil-may-care, risk-taker Lance Alexander Sr realises he is mortal. He has a horrible dream of the angel of death killing, and the next day he meets a person in his dream. He dreads them recognising him. Furthermore, he knows they will kill him if they do and free the Angel his soul in killing him. He is scared, more scared than he ever was before. 
  He knows one of them will die, but who? 
  It's human nature to fear death, and that went doubly for Lancelot Alexander, the Necromancer, a grim reaper with the soul of an uncontrollable violent killer. In the past, he feared death less, but now he feared what would be released into the world when he died; his soul was a horrible killer worse than him. 
   Lance awoke from a very bad dream, screaming. 
  “Lance, are you alright?” Asked his wife, spooked by her husband's screaming. 
  "I saw the angel kill again," said the sweating, scared man, whom the police called a serial killer.

  Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
   
  Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
   
  Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
   
  After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
   
  In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
   
  Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
   
  After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
   
  For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
   
  Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73
