Mysteria, a small fishing island located just off the coast of Oregon. Covered in dense forests, its isolation is exactly what award-winning author Cameron Drake is looking for. After an amicable divorce he moves to the island from England, in an attempt to reignite his writing career. However, Cameron's arrival begins with a strange encounter on a deserted road, and leads to a series of hauntings that force him to question his sanity and investigate its history. As the community around him slowly vanishes, it appears Mysteria is not everything it seems. Aided by his loyal pet, Akando, an Alaskan malamute, Cameron descends into the strange world of the paranormal. Slowly, he begins to believe the hauntings are an attempt to warn of a fate that will befall the island and its remaining occupants. A quest of witchcraft, Ouija boards and contact with the dead awaits Cameron, but as he investigates deeper, the island's secret becomes clear.Ver livro

Although the man doesn't know this is a crossover story with characters from my The Magicians series guest starring. "Dick do you know why Amazon, Redbubble, Audible, and someone called Zazzle are paying me?" asked James one day suspecting it had to do with him. "I wrote a book," said Turpin. "You wrote a book?" said James. "It's selling on Amazon and Audible, and I promote my work on Redbubble and Zazzle," said Turpin. "Why am I being paid by them?" said James "I used your details and name to sign up and as a name. I couldn't sell without real details what would people say if I said I was a ghostwriter!" said Turpin. "You lousy identity thief!" grumbled James "Great I'm being haunted by a computer genius from before computers." "Thief I'm paying you!" said Turpin. "I thought Audible needed real voices to be eligible to have your work put on Audible?" said James. "I read the book on to the computer as John Palmer," said Turpin. "How? I thought I was the only person who could hear you?" said James. "I did an E V P," Turpin said. "A what?" asked James. "Electronic Voice Phenomena or a ghost audio recording! Ghosts can be recorded with a microphone, so I read it." Turpin said. "So you are haunting Audible now, are you?" James said. "And YouTube, iTunes, and Soundcloud, among other things if you put it like that?" said Turpin exasperated. "What am I supposed to have written!" asked James.

SOON TO BE A FEATURE FILM STARRING MARGARET QUALLEY AND THOMASIN MCKENZIE Named one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2025 by Oprah Daily, Reader's Digest, Polygon, and Paste “Simmering with rage, propulsive and laugh out loud funny, Victorian Psycho speaks profoundly of horror both within and without us.”—Catriona Ward From the acclaimed author of Mrs. March comes the riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance. Virginia Feito’s Mrs. March was hailed as “a brilliant debut … [by] a writer who keeps pace with the grandees she invokes” (Sarah Ditum, Guardian)—from Daphne Du Maurier and Shirley Jackson to Patricia Highsmith. Now, Feito returns with her “silver-polish sentences and her eerie psychological acumen” (Constance Grady, Vox) to unleash an entirely new antihero on us all. Grim Wolds, England: Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess—she’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate’s dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family—Mr. Pounds can’t keep his eyes off Winifred’s chest, and Mrs. Pounds takes a sickly pleasure in punishing Winifred for her husband’s wandering gaze. Compounded with her disdain for the entitled Pounds children, Winifred finds herself struggling at every turn to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. French tutoring and needlework are one way to pass the time, as is admiring the ugly portraits in the gallery … and creeping across the moonlit lawns. … Patience. Winifred must have patience, for Christmas is coming, and she has very special gifts planned for the dear souls of Ensor House. Brimming with sardonic wit and culminating in a shocking conclusion, Victorian Psycho plunges readers into the chilling mind of an iconic new literary psychopath.Ver livro
Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume close encounters of a spectral kind come to visit and offer us their stories through the pens of such literary masters as Alexander Pushkin, Oscar Wilde, Amelia Edwards, Washington Irving and many others can. The excellence of their story-telling craft makes each story a journey into certain and unsettling fear. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - 19th Century Ghost Stories - An Introduction 2 - The Canterville Ghost - Part 1 by Oscar Wilde 3 - The Canterville Ghost - Part 2 by Oscar Wilde 4 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving 5 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 6 - The Tapestried Chamber by Walter Scott 7 - The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin 8 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling 9 - The Phantom Coach by Amelia Edwards 10 - The Deserted House by E T A Hoffman 11 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon 12 - An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street by Sheridan Le FanuVer livro
