  What is the Ghost in the Box? 
  An urban legend states that if you watch television alone late at night, you might come across the “Ghost in the Box.” It appears in the white noise when programming has ended for the night, but this is most certainly no regular program. And if you happen to see it, then you’ll only have three more days until “she” comes for you. 
  Who is this ghost? Why is she killing people who happen across her late at night? And is there any way to escape once you’ve seen her on screen…? 
  Click the buy now button to uncover the secrets behind this terrifying urban legend right now. 
  Reiwa Tanpen is a series of stand-alone Japanese horror, mystery, and thriller novellas and short stories for the new era. Featuring Japanese ghosts, curses, killers, yokai, urban legends, and much more, each story can be read independently of the rest.

  Leaves of Grass

  Walt Whitman

  American poet Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, is a collection of poems notable for its frank delight in and praise of the senses, during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.    Whitman was inspired to begin Leaves of Grass after reading an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson which expressed a need for a uniquely American poet. When the book was first published, Whitman sent a copy to Emerson, whose praiseful letter of response helped launch the book to success. Whitman’s hero, Abraham Lincoln, read and enjoyed an early version of Leaves of Grass. Despite such high recommendations, Whitman faced charges of obscenity and immorality for his work, but this only led to increased popularity of the book.    Whitman continually revised and republished Leaves of Grass throughout his lifetime, notably adding the “Drum-Taps” section after Lincoln’s assassination. The book grew from 12 poems in its first publication, which Whitman paid for and typeset himself, to nearly 400 poems in its final, “Death Bed Edition.” This recording is of the final edition.

  Best friends Zaid and Neelam shared a dream: get away, make it as writers, build a future where they're free to be themselves. Together, always.
  Years later, things are far from what they expected. Zaid's life has kinda stalled – he's half out the closet, living at home and still chasing the dream. While Neelam's has taken a completely different path as she chooses to prioritise her own happiness. As their lives pull further apart, leaving a mess of unsaid things between them, it's going to take something real to bring them back together.
  Waleed Akhtar's play The Real Ones is a funny and honest love letter to platonic soulmates. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike, and starring Nathaniel Curtis and Mariam Haque.
