Synopsis

“Vernon Lee” was the pseudonym of the British writer Violet Paget (1856–1935). She is remembered today primarily for her supernatural fiction, much of it influenced by her lesbianism and feminism, as well as for her books and essays on aesthetics.
Her novella “A Culture-Ghost; or, Winthrop’s Adventure” was first published in the April, 1881 issue of Appletons’ Journal. It was left out of Hauntings, but it’s certainly a masterpiece of weird fiction, fully worthy of rediscovery today.

    Ceit Robertson, age ten, is the next Matrarc to the Society, a cultish matriarchal group living in an inconspicuous cul-de-sac in Venice Beach. When Ceit’s mother is attacked by spirits from the old world, a failed exorcism results in Ceit’s exile into the foster-care system in Los Angeles. She eventually lands in the infamous MacLaren Hall, a very real and historically auspicious center for disturbed and abandoned children in El Monte. As Ceit grows into a force of nature, she discovers that the devil might not be what we should truly fear. A sympathetic story of the devil in Los Angeles, Diabhal explores the true nature of evil and how intention colors our definition of what wickedness truly is.

    Beth Kozera promised her best friend, Carrie Hansen, she would stay and manage Celebration House in Carrie’s absence. How she regrets that promise! She has no idea how to run an event venue. Since when did brides become so demanding and grooms so lecherous? Plus, she can’t boil water, let alone supervise a sit-down dinner for two hundred guests every weekend! Thank goodness for Joshua—or, at least, she thinks. But when Beth offers his mom a job overseeing the kitchen, Josh shows his patriarchal colors—so much for tall, dark, and haughty. Could Beth’s life get more complicated? Apparently so. Her former fiancé wants her back, convinced if he can restart his romance with her, he can somehow mend his life. But all she wants is to keep her promise to Carrie.
