Sinopsis

May Sinclair's "Uncanny Stories" is a masterful collection that delves into the realms of the psychological and the supernatural, blending stark realism with eerie elements of the uncanny. Written during the early 20th century, Sinclair employs a narrative style that intersects modernist techniques with traditional storytelling, compellingly engaging with themes of identity, perception, and the human psyche. The stories challenge readers to confront their own fears and insecurities, embodying the tension prevalent in post-Victorian literature while foreshadowing the existential explorations of later writers. Sinclair, a pivotal figure in feminist literature and a contemporary of Virginia Woolf, used her literary career to explore the complexities of human emotion and consciousness. Her deep interest in psychology, influenced by her relationship with the burgeoning field of psychoanalysis, informs the unsettling atmosphere that permeates her work. Drawing from her own life experiences and observations of societal norms, Sinclair's stories reflect a personal and societal journey through the labyrinth of fear and the unknown. "Uncanny Stories" is highly recommended for readers seeking to immerse themselves in thought-provoking and unsettling narratives that transcend mere horror. Sinclair's incisive exploration of the human condition reveals the complexities that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life, making this collection essential for both scholars of modern literature and casual readers alike.

    from Zoe Michaels," read a reaper to another his father. 
    "Aww! That sounds cute," said the king of the Reapers hearing it. 
    "No one calls me a fairy! Even a misinformed child," said the son known as Lance or the Necromancer shortly. 
    "Do you prefer serial killer!" asked his father. 
    Lance scoffed. "I prefer avenging angel," said Lance coldly he was fate's hitman he killed the worst of the worst for him and the police called him a serial killer. 
    "You would," said the reaper king, "How was the child when you took her?" 
    "She was a pain she insisted I was the Death Fairy because the tooth fairy took teeth so the reapers were death fairies because they took the dead. I keep telling her I wasn't the death fairy I was a grim reaper. she wouldn't listen. I told her she wasn't going to heaven. She cried. I told her she was going Elysian she cried more. I asked her why she cried. 
    She told me she was sad to hear queen Elsa was dead too. Kids!" Lance said frustratedly.

    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.
