  The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens - Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. 
  Francis Stevens (1883–1948), the pen name of Gertrude Barrows Bennett, was a pioneering writer of early science fiction and fantasy. Often regarded as the “woman who invented dark fantasy,” she blended elements of horror, adventure, and speculative fiction long before these genres were well-defined. Born in Minneapolis, she became the primary breadwinner for her family after her husband’s death, using writing as a means of financial support. Between 1917 and 1923, she published groundbreaking stories such as The Citadel of Fear, The Heads of Cerberus, and Claimed, which introduced eerie, otherworldly themes later seen in the works of H.P. Lovecraft and C.L. Moore. Her novel The Heads of Cerberus (1919) is considered one of the first dystopian alternate-history stories. Despite her influence, her work faded into obscurity until rediscovered by genre historians. Today, she is recognized as a key figure in the evolution of fantasy and science fiction.

  Anatoliy Golitsyn: The Life and...

  Many people remain fascinated by stories about the Cold War, particularly the espionage that was covertly conducted across the globe by both sides. Indeed, from the beginning of the Cold War, there were hundreds if not thousands of spies positioned in each side’s governments. Some worked as double agents, while others worked to plant pivotal pieces of information or disinformation to persuade government officials within these warring countries. 
  Inevitably, some of the Cold War’s most shadowy actions involved trying to turn Soviet assets, whether for propaganda or intelligence purposes, but the Soviet system constantly had to worry about defections, as evidenced by the construction of the Berlin Wall in the early 1960s. That said, while the whistleblowers may be celebrated if they damage the public relations of an adversary, they can be controversial if they damage one’s own country, as evidenced by the polarizing reputations of individuals like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. 
  During Congressional testimony concerning President Kennedy’s assassination many years after Anatoliy Golitsyn’s defection, James Jesus Angleton claimed he was “probably without any question the most major defection since World War II as far as Soviet intentions, Soviet organization, and Soviet operations are concerned.” He would later become a voice for the Soviets’ disinformation strategy through his studies and his work as a KGB agent and with the CIA’s Counterintelligence Unit. Golitsyn became disenchanted with Moscow and the Soviet way of life after having spent his life protecting it. 
  Thanks to his schooling and training, Golitsyn had deep inside knowledge of the USSR’s (communist) strategy to rule the world. Angleton, the chief of the CIA’s Counterintelligence Unit, was a huge supporter and believer of Golitsyn’s ideas and theories.
