  "If you also will give up your hopes of heaven, I can remain a woman..." 
  When a down-on-his-luck journalist inherits a mysterious Chelsea house and a modest fortune from his Aunt Dorcas, he thinks he’s escaped the drudgery of Fleet Street forever. But hidden in the attic lies a forgotten painting — one that will change his life, and his afterlife, forever. 
  Behind the ornate curves of an ebony frame, he uncovers a portrait of a woman with mesmerizing eyes and haunting beauty — eyes that seem to follow him, to plead, to command. When he calls out to her, she answers. 
  So begins a ghostly love affair that transcends time and death, shadowed by forbidden knowledge, eternal longing, and a terrible price. As fire consumes the past and future alike, he must decide whether a love from beyond the grave is worth the loss of his soul. 
  The Ebony Frame is a seductive, tragic gothic tale from E. Nesbit, best known for her children’s books but here writing in a darker, more adult register. In this lush new narration by Miguel Khoury, her eerie romance comes alive with devastating intensity. 
  Perfect for fans of supernatural fiction, Victorian ghost stories, and tragic love with an occult twist.

  I need to quit. 
   
   
   
  I've been telling myself that every day for the last six months. I knew as soon as I started working for Hudson as his virtual assistant that this wasn't going to work out. He's rude, bossy, and a total grouch. 
   
   
   
  I've only managed to last this long because whenever he starts being a jerk, I sass him right back. Enough is enough though. It's time for me to find a new job. 
   
   
   
  Except when I finally meet him in person to tell him that I quit, he refuses to accept my resignation. 
   
   
   
  Suddenly, instead of the grumpy jerk that I'm used to, Hudson seems to be trying to be almost . . . nice. It must be a trap. Except he says that it's something else. 
   
   
   
  Can I trust him when he says that we're fated to be? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  "The Call of Cthulhu" is a seminal horror short story by H.P. Lovecraft, first published in 1928 in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. The story is structured as a series of interconnected narratives and documents that reveal the existence of an ancient, malevolent entity known as Cthulhu. 
  The plot follows Francis Wayland Thurston, a researcher who uncovers disturbing evidence about a cult that worships Cthulhu, a monstrous, god-like being that lies dormant beneath the ocean in the sunken city of R'lyeh. Through his investigation, Thurston pieces together accounts of strange dreams, mysterious artifacts, and horrific events that point to the awakening of Cthulhu and the terrifying influence it holds over the world. 
  "The Call of Cthulhu" is noted for its exploration of cosmic horror, a theme central to Lovecraft's work, where the universe is vast, indifferent, and inhabited by incomprehensible entities far beyond human understanding. The story is a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos and has had a profound impact on horror literature, inspiring numerous adaptations and works by other authors.
