The ghost of Ambrose Bierce, American writer and civil war Union soldier, has been displaced from the home he had been haunting. Enlisting the aid of a "haunting agent," he finds a new residence that has the requisite dark history and terrible secret that makes it appropriate for haunting.

Against his intentions, Bierce becomes caught up in the unsolved mystery of his new haunt. In partnership with an old friend, a Buddhist priest named "Sid" who has inhabited the spirit world for 25 centuries, he reluctantly involves himself  in the matters of still living people. Bierce and his friend also become aware of the presence of mysterious "others" who are spirits who never held human form. Bierce, Sid, and other new spirit friends ultimately find themselves as part of a quest to save a human life, rescue another spirit from oblivion, and discover the identity of the "others."

Plutus

Aristophanes

In Plutus, Aristophanes delivers a comedic yet thought-provoking critique of social inequality and the moral values of Athenian society. The play centers on Chremylus, a righteous but impoverished man who, with the help of his slave and the god Hermes, seeks to correct the divine error that has left the good poor and the wicked rich. Their solution? Restore sight to Plutus, the blind god of wealth, so he can distribute riches more justly. When the plan succeeds, the results upend traditional hierarchies, sparking chaos among the powerful and privileged. Through sharp satire, farcical scenes, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes questions the relationship between wealth, virtue, and justice. A late work in his career, Plutus blends humor with philosophical inquiry, offering a vivid reflection on economic fairness, human greed, and the role of the gods in worldly affairs.
