    Jane Austen's first novel—published posthumously in 1818—tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.

    Transgressive, transformative short stories that explore the margins of trans lives.Building on the success of All City, here is a wry, and at the same time dark and risk-taking, story collection from author (and baker) Alex DiFrancesco that pushes the boundaries of transgender awareness and filial bonds. Here is the hate between sixteen-year-old Junie, who is transitioning, and their mom's boyfriend Chad when the family moves into Chad's house on Lake Erie. And here is the love being tested between Sawyer and his dad, who named his boat after his child and resists changing it from Sara to Sawyer now. There is DiFrancesco's willingness to enter lands that are violent and comfortless in some of these stories, testing the limits of what it means to be human, sometimes returning stronger and wiser and sometimes not returning at all as their characters surge forward into unknown spaces.Contains mature themes.

    Science, better diet, advanced medicines are all part of a process that in the modern age keep most of us going to a ripe old age. 
     
    In previous times some diseases could only be slowed and not defeated. There toil of relentless attack on our physical forms brought misery and decay.   
     
    Add to this that within our number some will self-destruct, demons will pursue their inner thoughts and life will be too painful to bear. Some may shuffle off the mortal coil for no discernible reason, but life will end early, they will not take up their three-score year and ten. 
     
    In this collection of short stories some of our most popular and well-known authors are grouped together with an unfortunate tag: dead at 46. 
     
    These authors are not run-of-the-mill or ten a penny; many are literary leviathans who left enduring works of literature and sadly may have left us many more had they lived. We will never know. 
     
    Death for these authors was usually due to many health issues but primarily:— 
    Oscar Wilde — Meningitis 
    George Gissing — General ill health left him unable to recover from a chill  
    H P Lovecraft — Cancer 
    Mary Webb — Unknown but she had been in increasingly bad health for some time 
    Perceval Gibbon — Cause of death unknown 
     
    01 - Dead at 46 - An Introduction 
    02 - The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde 
    03 - A Capitalist by George Gissing 
    04 - The Call of Cthulhu by H P Lovecraft
