  To make her films, Eva must take out her eyes and use them as batteries. To make her art, Finn must cut open her chest and remove her lungs and heart. To write her novels, Grace must use her blood to power the word processor.
  Suture shares three interweaving stories of artists tearing themselves open to make art. Each artist baffles their family, or harms their loved ones, with their necessary sacrifices. Eva's wife worries about her mental health; Finn's teenager follows in her footsteps, using forearm bones for drumsticks; Grace's network constantly worries about the prolific writer's penchant for self-harm, and the over-use of her vitals for art.
  The result is a hyper-real exploration of the cruelties we commit and forgive in ourselves and others. Brewer brings a unique perspective to mental illness while exploring how support systems in relationships—spousal, parental, familial—can be both helpful and damaging.
  This exciting debut novel is a highly original meditation on the fractures within us, and the importance of empathy as medicine and glue.

  Although she remained unmarried she had lovers as notable as Somerset Maugham, H G Wells and Ford Maddox Ford, the latter whom she lived with for a number of years. 
   
  Her collections of supernatural short stories contain much of her best work and despite her considerable talents and literary output her reputation rests both on the literary salons she held at her home in Campden Hill, where the very best of literary society attended, and for her founding of the Women Writers' Suffrage League in 1908 and her participation in the founding of International PEN in 1921. 
   
  Violet Hunt died of pneumonia at her home in Campden Hill on 16th January 1942. She was 79 and is buried at Brookwood Cemetery. 
   
  Once more Hunt takes a common occurrence, the delivery of a telegram, as the stepping off point for a woman to question whether she should get married, but fate has not yet dealt its final hand.

  Title: The Music of Erich Zann 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1922 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 29 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Music of Erich Zann by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting exploration of madness, sound, and the fragile barrier between worlds. In a shadowed quarter of an ancient city, a student discovers a reclusive musician whose eerie, otherworldly compositions seem to keep at bay horrors unseen. What begins as fascination soon descends into terror, as the power behind Zann’s music and the darkness beyond his window are revealed. 
  Through Lovecraft’s vivid and claustrophobic imagery, this tale captures the essence of his cosmic philosophy — that there are realms of existence beyond human perception, and that art itself can be both a shield and a summons. The result is one of Lovecraft’s most atmospheric and psychologically intense stories. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the story’s spectral tone and mounting dread — a symphony of terror rendered in voice. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the great works of Gothic and cosmic horror, The Music of Erich Zann resonates as a chilling hymn to the unknowable — where melody becomes madness, and silence is more dreadful than sound. 
  Prepare for a tale of haunting music, unseen worlds, and a final note that echoes beyond the limits of sanity.
