Witch You Were Dead - A Cozy Mystery Short Story

S. Y. Robins

Sinossi

Helena Richardson is a solitary witch determined to keep her license to practice witchcraft. Something has slowly been sapping her powers however and this is no more evident than when her license is restricted with a notice of 30-days given to improve her skills. On the advice of a friend Helena asks the ancient spirits of Standing Stone Circle to aid her in her plight. She believes she’s been given a chance, a test, to prove her worthiness when she stumbles across a body. She never expected the outcome would be a shambling shell of a man.

Desperate for answers and to fix the damage she’s done Helena learns she has to wait for Halloween night to ask for help. As Helena seeks out answers as to who the man is, who killed him, and how she can return him to normal, Helena learns that sometimes you have to rely on yourself to get what you want. And if she can improve her skills in witchcraft in the meantime that would be great too.

The Secret Agent

Joseph Conrad

Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in London's Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother, and her idiot brother, Stevie. When Verloc is reluctantly involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory things go disastrously wrong, and what appears to be "a simple tale" proves to involve politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats, and London's fashionable society in the darkest and most surprising interrelations.Based on the text which Conrad's first English readers enjoyed, this new edition includes a full and up-to-date bibliography, a comprehensive chronology and a critical introduction which describes Conrad's great London novel as the realization of a "monstrous town," a place of idiocy, madness, criminality, and savage butchery. It also discusses contemporary anarchist activity in the UK, imperialism, and Conrad's narrative techniques.
