  Stories From The Shadows –...

  Mrs Craik, Lafcadio Hearn,...

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  As an archaeological team cares for the Indian Shell Mounds on Dauphin Island, they discover a strange metal key—in a skeleton's hand! Questions loom about the key's origin and what mysteries it might unlock. Could it be an artifact left behind by Spanish explorers, the first people besides the First Nation People to reside on the island? Or is the skeleton one of the unfortunate Casket Girls who died when the island was called Massacre Island? 
   
   
   
  After a few days of study, the key demonstrates strange characteristics and one archaeologist, in particular, is concerned that the activity surrounding the key could be paranormal. 
   
   
   
  Midas and the Gulf Coast Paranormal Team accept the case and head to the island to see for themselves the key, the skeleton, and a strange box that will not unlock. 
   
   
   
  Are they prepared for the ghosts of Massacre Island? Will the ghosts of the First Nation's people rise up in protest?

  Amelia Edwards - A Short Story...

  Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
   
  In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
   
  Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
   
  In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
   
  To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
   
  After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.
