1 - Lica: House of Frazier

Unknown

Classics / Poetry / Fiction

Lica Frazier and his five brothers had a rough start in life. Their mother, only half wolf, and their father, human, the boys shouldn’t have been able to shift. The fact that they could was a secret they kept closely guarded from their parents. Now grown, although financially poor, the Frazier boys had made a respectable name for themselves. Their current Alpha was looking to retire and wanted Lica to take over the pack as the new Alpha. Brandy Connor had a bone to pick with Lica Frazier. He’d upset one of her employees, and she needed to get to the bottom of it. Lica knew instantly that Brandy was his mate, and he wasn’t happy in the least that he’d found her. She was human, and his parents were a good enough reason to dislike humans… Brandy didn’t know what his problem was. She didn’t care for him much, either…

A Stable for Nightmares; or, Weird Tales

A Stable for Nightmares; or, Weird Tales

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

Horror / Classics

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was the premier ghost story writer of the nineteenth century and had a seminal influence on the development of this genre in the Victorian era. Le Fanu studied law at Trinity College in Dublin. He soon abandoned law for journalism. In 1838 he began contributing stories to the Dublin University Magazine. He became owner of several newspapers from 1840, including the Dublin Evening Mail and the Warder. Le Fanu worked in many genres but remains best known for his mystery and horror fiction. He was a meticulous craftsman, with a penchant for frequently reworking plots and ideas from his earlier writing in subsequent pieces of writing. He specialised in tone and effect rather than “shock horror”, often following a mystery format. Key to his style was the avoidance of overt supernatural effects. Among his famous works are: The House by the Church- Yard (1863), Uncle Silas (1864), Carmilla (1872), The Purcell Papers (1880), The Evil Guest (1895) and A Stable for Nightmares; or, Weird Tales (with Sir Charles Young and others) (1896).
