  Carmilla

  Joseph Sheridan La Fanu

  The moonlight spills like silver across ancient walls, and somewhere in the velvet darkness, a whisper stirs—a name, half-sighed, half-forgotten. Carmilla. A name as soft as a caress, as chilling as a shadow at the edge of the candle's glow. She does not knock at your door; she drifts through it like a dream. She is beauty wrapped in mystery, desire woven with dread.
  This is not a story of fangs bared in the night, nor of crude terrors lurking in the crypt. Carmilla is subtler, more intoxicating—a tale that shivers on the border between love and death, fascination and fear. It is the pulse quickened without reason, the gaze held too long, the hush of silken footsteps on cold stone.
  Long before Dracula cast his shadow over the genre, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu shaped the vampire legend with an elegance both haunting and hypnotic. He understood that true horror does not always come in the shape of monsters but in the slow unraveling of certainty, the delicate trespass of the unknown into the familiar.
  To read Carmilla is to step into a dream—one of moonlit corridors and stolen glances, of fevered devotion and something else, something nameless and ancient, curling at the edges of the night. But beware: dreams have a way of lingering, and shadows… shadows are never empty.

  Vincent O'Sullivan was born on the 28th November 1868 in New York City.  He was initially educated through the New York public school system before finishing his studies in England.  As a young man he remained in London and travelled often to Paris.  
  O’Sullivan lived a very comfortable life with income from the family coffee business.  He had no real need to work but decided that a literary lifestyle was for him.   
  In 1896 he released his first volume of supernatural fiction ‘A Book of Bargains’.  Within its pages were classic stories that involved pacts with the Devil, reanimated corpses and psychic vampires. 
  Over the course of his career, he wrote a mere 10 volumes of short stories, novels, poetry together with some occasional criticism. 
  In 1909 his brother, who ran the company, entered its resources into some terribly mis-timed trades in coffee futures and ruin for both the company and the family quickly followed. 
  From now until his death O’Sullivan was destitute, life was exceedingly difficult. 
  Vincent O’Sullivan died on the 18th July 1940 in Paris.  He was 71.  He was buried in a paupers grave along with the remains of others.

  The Tourniquet - A Hope That Never Dies is a poetic reckoning with memory, ego, and the quiet revolution of becoming. In a world caught between generational cycles and spiritual awakening, one man presented as Father Labby steps into the chrysalis—ready to dissolve the boundaries of self and transcend the illusions of time and space. 
  Through fragmented reflections, strange stories, and a refusal to be understood by the mainstream, this book invites readers into a space beyond language. It is not a manifesto, nor a memoir, but a meditation on merging—on remembering what was forgotten, and gathering what was scattered. 
  It is a journey through resistance, remembrance, and the fragile beauty of transformation. 
  This is not a book for recognition. It is a book for dissolution. For those who feel the pulse beneath the noise—and dare to follow it.

  You know that office bromance: two of a kind, always taking their lunch together, always wearing the same sly grin. Only ever a hair away from a cold joke about how spreadsheets are a living hell; about taking a bullet if it means going home early on Friday. Sometimes in these fantasies, they’re heroes being hauled out on a stretcher.  
  Sometimes they’re the ones pulling the trigger.  
  Now, say these guys discover a loophole that makes some days less real than others—less permanent—and start to act out their violent fantasies without fear of reprisal. Why shouldn’t they? Tomorrow, everything will go back to normal, with no one the wiser but them.  
  They’ll always remember what it felt like to act on their basest impulses. They’ll know how it could feel to do it again.  
  Maybe you don’t know these guys. Maybe you don’t want to.  
  Soft Targets is a reality-bending novella about malignant malaise; the surrender to violence; and the addictive appeal of tragedy as entertainment.  
  Contains graphic depictions of gun violence in the workplace; caution recommended.
