  Do you believe in love after death? I didn't, until now . . . 
   
   
   
  Looking for a fresh start, I just became the proud owner of a piece of New Orleans history: an Antebellum-era two-story house in the Garden District. It's going to take time and a fat wallet to restore the fixer-upper to its former glory, but after my recent divorce, I could use the distraction. And a stiff drink, but that's another story . . . 
   
   
   
  It's not long before I discover I've moved into the haunted house of the flirtatious and very much dead, Drake Montague. Now I'm receiving kisses from unseen lips and caresses from ghostly hands. Soon I even begin to have vivid dreams, bringing me face-to-face with the incomparably handsome ghost of a twentieth century French policeman. 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile, I'm also growing closer to my general contractor, Ryan Kelly—who is as charming as he is alive. 
   
   
   
  The chill in the air could only suggest Drake's jealousy from beyond the grave . . . men, right? 
   
   
   
  Even though I'm definitely attracted to and interested in Ryan, I also can't get Drake out of my dreams, or my heart, as I begin to uncover the frightening truth behind his death a century ago . . . 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  'I am about to let loose on the world a plague which could destroy all mankind'
  Casting the Runes originally appeared in M.R. James' second published collection of ghost stories (1911) and has significantly influenced the horror genre, inspiring later writers and filmmakers with its emphasis on atmosphere and psychological tension.
  
  When academic Edward Dunning dismisses a manuscript by the sinister Mr. Karswell, he unwittingly becomes the target of a deadly curse. Almost immediately, he starts to experience strange and inexplicable phenomena, and as these eerie events escalate, Dunning must unravel the mystery of the runes before time runs out.
  Casting the Runes is a chilling tale of occult revenge that highlights the author's masterful ability to build tension through a distinctive blend of scholarly realism and creeping dread.
  Montague Rhodes James (1862–1936) was a distinguished English medievalist scholar and academic, serving as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and later Eton College. His ghost stories, widely regarded as the finest in the English language, have been widely influential on modern horror and many - including Oh, Whistle and I'll Come For You, My Lad,The Tractate Middoth, A View from a Hill and Casting the Runes (aka Night of the Demon) - have been adapted for the screen

  In this story, Poe does a masterful job of describing the inner thoughts of a man who is obsessed with an old man "with a filmy pale blue "vulture-eye".  He knows deep in his soul that that eye is evil and his madness and obsession with it increases each day as he carefully calculates the murder of the old man.  Attempting the perfect crime, he dismembers the body in the bathtub and hides it under the floorboards of his room, happy with the result.  Until a policeman comes to look into the disappearance of the man and sits directly on top of where the pieces are hidden.  Is he imagining things, or does that dead heart still beat?

  "Another name for a couch potato!" Lance hissed, 
  "Dork why you shouting," said Junior walking in the room. 
  "Oh, he's no bother, he has good taste! Anyone who likes Neighbours is alright with me" Blake said.

  "I want to watch this!" said the ghost standing up. 
  "Quit it stop using the voice let him watch this!" Blake said.
