Sinopse

Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley (30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851) was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley.Published in 1833, The Mortal Immortal is a fascinating short story by Mary Shelley that explores the psychological and philosophical consequences of eternal life. Written years after her masterpiece Frankenstein, this tale revisits the theme of scientific ambition but shifts the focus from the creation of life to the burden of never-ending existence.The story is narrated by Winzy, a man who has lived for over three hundred years. In his youth, Winzy was the apprentice of the ambitious alchemist Cornelius Agrippa. Driven by a mix of curiosity and a desire to cure his own heartbreak, Winzy drinks a mysterious elixir prepared by his master, believing it to be a cure for love. Instead, he discovers he has consumed the elixir of immortality.

    "Dick do you know why Amazon, Redbubble, Audible, and someone called Zazzle are paying me?" asked James one day suspecting it had to do with him. 
    "I wrote a book," said Turpin. 
    "You wrote a book?" said James. 
    "It's selling on Amazon and Audible, and I promote my work on Redbubble and Zazzle," said Turpin. 
    "Why am I being paid by them?" said James 
    "I used your details and name to sign up and as a name. I couldn't sell without real details what would people say if I said I was a ghostwriter!" said Turpin. 
    "You lousy identity thief!" grumbled James "Great I'm being haunted by a computer genius from before computers." 
    "Thief I'm paying you!" said Turpin. 
    "I thought Audible needed real voices to be eligible to have your work put on Audible?" said James. 
    "I read the book on to the computer as John Palmer," said Turpin. 
    "How? I thought I was the only person who could hear you?" said James. 
    "I did an E V P," Turpin said. 
    "A what?" asked James. 
    "Electronic Voice Phenomena or a ghost audio recording! Ghosts can be recorded with a microphone, so I read it." Turpin said. 
    "So you are haunting Audible now, are you?" James said. 
    "And YouTube, iTunes, and Soundcloud, among other things if you put it like that?" said Turpin exasperated. 
    "What am I supposed to have written!" asked James.

Pen and her son Spencer follow the furry fugitive to a wooded area where the dog's owner lies unconscious.

To straighten out this doggone mess, she whistles for the ghost of PI Jack Shepard, an expert in hounding as well as haunting.
