  "The Temple" is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1920, and first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales #24 in September 1925.
  The story is narrated as a "found manuscript" penned by Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, a lieutenant-commander in the Imperial German Navy during the days of World War I. Altberg begins by declaring that he has decided to document the events leading up to his untimely end in order to "set certain facts" before the public, aware that he will not survive to do so himself.

  They don’t want Shay. They want you. 
  	Okay, so these were not the words I was expecting, coming from my angel father Matiel’s mouth. But here they were. 
  	The Assassins’ Guild of Angels wants me dead. 
  	Fantastic. 
  	I mean, what’s a witch gotta do to catch a break these days? I can’t even go for a leisurely stroll without someone trying to off me. 
  	Worse, I have no idea why they’re hunting me. 
  	But you know what they say: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And I’ve got a whole lot of lemons to work with. 
  	I may not be an angel like my father, but I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Especially when it comes to saving my own skin.  
  	Do I run and hide from these angel assassins? Nope. I’m going to face them head-on and fight.

  The Bottle Imp by Robert Louis Stevenson tells the story of Keawe, a Hawaiian man who buys a magical bottle containing an imp that grants its owner any wish.

  Keawe experiences both the incredible joys and the terrifying anxieties that come with possessing such an object. He gains wealth and status, but lives under the constant shadow of needing to sell the bottle under a specific condition. The story explores themes of temptation, desire, the nature of happiness, and the value of one's soul.

  Horror Stories At Sea - Scary...

  Being on a ship is usually very safe.  The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable.  A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world.  Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm.  But worse?  No, not really possible, is it? 
   
  In this volume our authors beg to differ.  They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be.  Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.
