  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Almost always when we think of Ghost Stories, we first think of those written by the Victorians. 
   
  When you consider the depth of literary talent available over the extraordinary length of Queen Victoria’s reign, allied to the fascination with their all things spiritual on ‘the other side’, then perhaps it’s simply right place, right time.  
   
  Whatever the reasons given or proffered the reality and known facts are that if you want a really good ghost story to bring that edge of chill, that foreboding of dread, that feeling that in an empty house we are not quite alone and that sometimes the sharp, sheer shock of what just happened is upon us then look no further than ‘The Victorian Ghost Story’ for your reading and listening pleasure.

  Life in Hollow Cove has finally settled down—or so I thought. 
  I’m ready to enjoy my new life with my newish husband, but apparently, peace and quiet just isn’t in the cards for me. 
  Enter Lilith—the Goddess of Night and Queen of the Netherworld—who shows up unannounced and demands a favor. Saying no isn’t really an option. I mean, how do you tell a literal goddess to shove it when refusing means she’ll kill you? So yeah, I agree. 
  Big mistake. 
  What she’s asking for is more than I bargained for, and I’m not sure I can go through with it. But if I don’t? Well, she’s made it clear I won’t live to regret it. 
  To top it all off, my aunts and I have been honored with an invitation to compete in the Arcane Summit—the most prestigious magical competition in our world. 
  Prestigious, sure. But it turns out these games are anything but fair, and they’re far more dangerous than anyone let on. 
  With a goddess breathing down my neck and deadly trials ahead, I’m running out of options. If I can’t pull off a miracle, I might not make it out of this alive.
