Sinossi

The author of this book, May Sinclair, was an innovator of modern fiction. She lived in the late Victorian era, and her stories were quite untypical of the time. She is considered a precursor to Virginia Woolf. The specific trait of the Uncanny Stories (1923) by Sinclair is a combination of the traditional ghost story with the discoveries of Freud and Einstein. The stories shock, enthrall, delight, and unsettle.

    If given the chance, would you try to fix the one moment that broke everything, even if it cost you your soul?  
    After a tragic car accident shatters his life, William J. McCoy is approached by a man named Ivan. He isn’t just a stranger. He’s a demon, and he claims William has lived this life before. Many times. And every time, his wife dies. Each time by Ivan’s design.  
    Now, Ivan offers him one chance to break the cycle.  
    Thrust into a past life with a mission to change fate, William is haunted by memories that are not his. The woman he is trying to save has his wife's face, but not her name. He’s surrounded by a life that feels borrowed, while something inside him tries to claim it as its own. And Ivan is always nearby, watching, waiting . . . pulling the strings.  
    As timelines blur and his identity begins to fracture, William must uncover the truth buried across lifetimes and face a terrifying possibility: the real enemy may not be the demon at all.  
    Some stories don’t end.  
    They echo.  
    And some love stories were never meant to be rewritten.

    In "Beyond the Wall of Sleep", an intern in a mental hospital relates his experiences with Joe Slater, a backward Catskills mountain man and now inmate at a hospital for the criminally insane. The inmate was having very strange and vivid dreams which he described in a way seemingly impossible for a man of his limited intellect. The intern decides to use a device he built but never tested, a device that could be used for two-way telepathic communication to monitor the man's dreams. What he discovers is both astonishing and frightening.

    Nora didn't expect Hidden Lake Camp to be in a state of ruin?dock full of rotten boards, smashed windows, cabins falling apart. To her new husband, Paul, the camp is the past he'd just as soon bury. Nora agreed to drive north with him to get his elderly parents settled while he makes enough repairs to sell the property, which will only take a few months. The summer camp, however, and its deep lake have other plans. After Nora's first meal with Paul's difficult family, one knife?part of a prized collection?goes missing. By the time the fourth and fifth vanish from behind locked doors and out from under watchful eyes, Nora can barely sleep.

    MESSAGES: The message is hand written on a scrap of paper stuffed in an envelope. It reads: 'Are you blind to the truth?' I study the shaky capitals, attempting to winkle out some clue about the sender, then I stow it in the filing drawer with the others. The messages are delivered when I'm out. They lie on the doormat waiting for me in their cheap manila envelopes, the flap tucked in rather than stuck down.

    When Harriet moves to Bentwood to teach gifted students, her life doesn't go as planned. Between her haunted rental and her oddball neighbor, Lucy—who literally won't go away—Harriet is left questioning her own sanity. The beautiful Kelsey, whom she meets at the farmers market, offers the distraction she needs. Well, that, and the town's Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)—or pyramid—scheme. 
     
     
     
    The enigmatic group of women selling wellness in the form of Serenitea, with their perfect hair, flawless skin, and piercing eyes. She is drawn to the tea, the wellness, the tranquility . . . So what if she has to sell a few bags of tea? 
     
     
     
    You have a new descendant. 
     
     
     
    Sinking deeper into Serenitea, Harriet can't stop drinking the tea. She keeps getting emails about new descendants—whatever the hell that means—and the gym teacher, Harold, is giving serious pervy vibes. Even Lucy joins the MIM despite claiming the women are vampires. None of that matters, though, because Serenitea makes her feel . . . well. Tranquil. 
     
     
     
    Until Lucy disappears and Harriet's world begins to crumble. 
     
     
     
    Is Serenitea really a bunch of beautiful vampires? So what if they are? How far will Harriet go for tranquility? 
     
     
     
    Are you well?
