  The Great Mystery of Eternity

  Eternity is unimaginably other. It is so other that we can't even begin to wrap our minds around it, let alone understand it. It remains the ultimate mystery, the intractable unknown and unknowable. 
  However, now and then, we are able to catch glimpses, or the hints of glimpses, of it. Often these epiphanies go unrecognized. Sometimes they are only suspected to have taken place. Now and then, they are recognized for what they are, if only intuitively. 
  The Great Mystery of Eternity collects ten short stories that sketch such moments. They are times of great intensity, events of that lead to a revelation. 
  These tales range from myth to science fiction, from action adventure to stories of faith, from sea adventures to the saga of one very important cup of English tea. The action is both subtle and violent, the characters are complex and layered, and the stakes couldn't be higher. 
  The window is open and ready. Are you equally prepared to look through it and to catch these ten glimpses of the other?

  This story coincides with April 30, or May Day’s Eve, when it was held that witches met on the Brocken mountain and kept communion with the Devil. It is named after St. Walburga, and English nun who helped convert Germans to Christianity in the 8th century. Her feast day coincides with an ancient pagan festival, whose rites were intended to give protection against witchcraft. Stoker originally wrote this story to be included in his novel, Dracula, but the editor struck it from the original work. Dracula’s Guest was published posthumously, being the title of a collection of short stories of similar gothic horror.
