  Before his untimely death at the age of 36 of cirrhosis of the liver due to his excessive alcoholism and opium addiction, Stenbock managed to publish three slim volumes of poetry, much of which was fixated on suicide, as well as this volume of short stories, Studies of Death. This short collection of tales of death in all its various forms featuring occultism, vampires, jilted lovers and sea sprites among other things is seen as not only an early curiosity of occult and weird literature but also contains early queer themes as well, most notably in the stories "Hylas" and "The True Story of a Vampire".

  "I don't want to hurt you," said Zac. 
  "I don't want to be hurt either," said Lance climbing into the box. 
  The moment he went into the box he fell asleep mentally. 
  He awoke screaming when Zac inserted the first blade. 
  It startled and worried Zac. 
  "Bring the curtains down," Zac shouted and the curtains fell. 
  One stage ran a gaggle of backstage staff. 
  "Are you alright, Jnr?" asked Zac. 
  "I'm fine, I just had a vision,'' said Lance. 
  "Oh what did you see?" asked Zac. 
  A man with 3 eyes killing a woman in a dreamlike place," said Lance looking traumatized as he was being released from the stage trick by stagehands. 
  "Tell the audience the show is over, Kel," Zac told the stage manager. 
  "Ok," said the stage manager sensing a problem. 
  "Come with me, Jnr," said Zac making a wormhole appear in front of them they stepped into it.

  Get w*sted, get l*id, and get the f*ck over it. 
  That’s my friend Braxton’s motto when it comes to life’s trickiest problems. So, when my cheating fiancée leaves me just months before our wedding, he comes up with a simple plan to help me get over her: go to the club, hit on the hottest chick I can find, and take her home. 
  But, it isn’t Braxton’s life on the line – it’s mine. And when he departs early with a prize on his arm, he leaves me stranded at the bar. 
  Alone. Broken. Vulnerable. 
  Nothing is as it seems at the club, either. Tucked away in an alley, hidden behind a nondescript steel door, The Rabbit Hole harbors plenty of secrets. The blonde bartender is irresistible, the drinks are to die for, and no one misses you when you’re gone. 
  One night buddied up to the bar will change my life in ways I could never imagine when I find myself in Wonderland. 
  I should have stayed home.
