  Sophia Boralis is haunted by the death of her mother, her life consumed by a dark and dangerous depression that brings sinister shadows to life in her mirrors. After a desperate suicide attempt, she finds herself under the care of Harper, a psychiatrist with an almost otherworldly presence, at a mental health hospital.  
   In the hospital, Sophia meets Jeremy, a boyishly handsome man whose brokenness mirrors her own.  Yet, Jeremy harbors deep suspicions about Harper and his true intentions. Harper offers Sophia and Jeremy a chance to confront their trauma through shadow work, inviting them to his secluded mental institution where he teaches Witchcraft for therapeutic means.  There, Harper reveals his own suspicions about Jeremy to Sophia, leaving her torn between her two men, not knowing who to trust or who to fear. 
  As Sophia delves into Harper’s world, she encounters her shadows, which are actually inner demons more formidable and supernatural than she ever imagined.  In a world where trust is fragile and reality is blurred, she must navigate her way to sanity, all while her inner demons claw their way to the surface… 
    And they want out...

  This captivating collection fuses stories and poems, taking us on an immersive journey through time, intertwining past and present.The Enchanter and Chimera (poem) 
  In knightly days of yore did the Enchanter create a chimera creature, 
  A hybrid of lion and bird to hunt a giant Roc bird, 
  A giant bird of prey of the lands of Arabia years of old, 
  He admired the Roc as it gracefully flew through the clouds from the back of his Chimera 
  He wore a suit of shining armour, feathers flew from his steed's giant wings, 
  He drew his enchanted sword and the flying lion flew in for the kill, 
  He stabbed the snapping giant bird and it fell from the sky, 
  Landing in a great thud.

  Beyond the village of Raven’s Edge stands the Gateway to the Dead – a crumbling stone arch marking the site where a long-ago battle raged and the dead were buried where they fell. But it’s the forgotten mansion hidden in the trees behind it that holds the real mystery… 
   
  Lady Peony has lived at Blackheath Hall for decades, invisible to the world – until a ghostly soldier begins knocking at her door. But Lady Peony is no fool. In her experience, where there are spirits, there are schemers. And someone wants her out of that house. 
   
  As DI Ben Taylor and DS Harriet March begin their investigation, bitter winds howl through Raven’s Edge and strange mists curl around the battle site. Harriet must untangle what’s real from what’s imagined. Is there truly a ghost haunting the old house, or is someone very much alive using supernatural tales as cover for their own deadly agenda? 
   
  Atmospheric, chilling and deliciously gothic, this cosy mystery wraps ancient legends and murder into one unputdownable story. Perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Agatha Christie and readers who like their crime with a shiver down the spine!

  In the Séance Room - 19th...

  Lettice Galbraith

  Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
  Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
  Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
  After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
  In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
  Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
  After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
  For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
  Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73.

  The Haunted Orchard

  Spring returns to the world—and with it comes a quiet mystery hidden among the blossoms. 
  In Richard Le Gallienne’s hauntingly beautiful short story, a weary city dweller escapes the noise of New York and travels to a lonely stretch of countryside along the Connecticut coast. There he rents an abandoned colonial farmhouse surrounded by ancient apple trees, lilacs, and the shimmering silence of spring. 
  At first the orchard seems like the perfect sanctuary for solitude and reflection. 
  But soon something strange begins to happen. 
  While resting beneath the blossoming trees, the narrator hears a soft young voice singing in French among the branches—a voice that drifts through the orchard like a memory carried on the wind. No one is ever seen, yet the singing returns day after day, filled with a sadness that refuses to fade. 
  Compelled by the mystery, the narrator slowly uncovers the tragic story of a young woman whose love—and heartbreak—still lingers among the blossoms. 
  Poetic, atmospheric, and deeply moving, The Haunted Orchard is not a tale of terror but a quiet ghost story of memory, longing, and unfinished love. First published in Harper’s Magazine in 1912, Le Gallienne’s story captures the delicate boundary between the living and the past, where music, grief, and springtime beauty intertwine. 
  Narrated with warmth and sensitivity by Christopher Mireider, this classic supernatural tale invites listeners into a world where the wind through apple blossoms may carry more than the songs of birds. 
  And where some voices refuse to be forgotten.
