  In long ago China, a girl named Zhen Yu wanders away from her father at a busy market. A mysterious fortune teller helps Zhen Yu’s father find her, but also warns him that one day his daughter will be bitten by a snake on her wedding night. Years later, as Zhen Yu is dressing for her wedding, a knock comes on the door. Although it is her wedding day, she is not too busy to show kindness to a stranger. She opens the door, sticking her hairpin into the silk wall, unknowingly killing the lurking snake that the fortune teller had foretold. “It was the mitzvah of giving to the poor that kept you safe,” says her father. Based on the Talmudic tale of Rabbi Akiva’s daughter and a snake.

  Could the race to solve a mysterious on-stage accident spell curtains for Sam, Derek, and Caitlin? 
  When the brothers join Caitlin and her parents on a weekend trip to the southwest Virginia town of Abingdon, they can’t wait to watch their favorite actor perform at the historic Barter Theatre. But in the middle of a performance of Red Riding Hood, something goes terribly wrong. 
  When the theater is shut down, the kids must get to the bottom of a sinister plot. What’s the connection to the threatening letters? Was it the ghost of Robert Porterfield, who opened the Barter back in 1933 when he offered shows to local patrons in exchange for produce? Is the Martha Washington Inn, the Civil War–era hotel across the street, really haunted? Do wolves still roam The Virginia Creeper Trail, where Daniel Boone’s hunting party was attacked in 1760? 
  Secrets from the past are hiding just off stage in the shadows. Can the kids uncover the truth before the theater’s final act, or will their names be next on the hit list? 
  Danger on the Stage is the eleventh book in The Virginia Mysteries series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. The story is the perfect complement to social studies units, field trips, and family vacations related to southwest Virginia, early American pioneer Daniel Boone, The Virginia Creeper and Appalachian Trails, theater, trains, forestry, and more. 
  If you enjoy mystery and adventure like the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Magic Tree House, or National Treasure, you’ll love author Steven K. Smith’s exciting middle-grade series. The stories are modern-day fictional mysteries with twists of real locations and events from history. These fast-paced books are popular with both boys and girls ages 7-12, appealing to even reluctant readers!

  The Dream Snake - Nightmares...

  Robert E. Howard

  The Dream Snake by Robert E. Howard is a haunting fusion of horror, fantasy, and dreamlike fatalism. First published posthumously in 1933, it tells the eerie tale of a man tormented by a recurring vision of a monstrous serpent—a vision that may be more than a dream. As the narrator drifts between waking and nightmare, Howard blurs the line between reality and the supernatural, crafting an atmosphere thick with dread and inevitability. Unlike his sword-and-sorcery adventures, The Dream Snake is a psychological horror story, rooted in primal fears and suffused with the poetic melancholy that defined much of Howard’s darker work. It reveals his gift for evoking beauty and terror in equal measure, a glimpse into the subconscious mind of a writer who understood both the hero’s courage and the dreamer’s despair. 
  Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) was an American author best known as the creator of Conan the Barbarian and the father of the sword-and-sorcery genre. Born in Peaster, Texas, and raised in the small town of Cross Plains, Howard poured his imagination into the pages of Weird Tales magazine, where he introduced vivid characters such as Solomon Kane, Kull of Atlantis, and Bran Mak Morn. His writing combined muscular adventure with poetic intensity, reflecting both the rugged landscape of Texas and his fascination with ancient civilizations and mythic struggle. Though his life was tragically brief, Howard’s influence is immense—his characters have inspired films, comics, and generations of fantasy writers. Beyond the blood and thunder of his tales lies a deep sense of melancholy and longing, qualities seen clearly in The Dream Snake and his many atmospheric poems. Today, Robert E. Howard stands as one of the most powerful voices of early 20th-century imaginative fiction, a storyteller whose creations continue to live in the dreams of readers worldwide.
