Lovecraft, written in late 1920 or early 1921 and first published in The United Amateur in March 1921, under the pseudonym Ward Phillips.

Out in the cold fringes. The Oort cloud of the consciousness where light is scarce. Only the icy stare of countless unnamed stars to see you along your journey. A path with no beginning, nor port of call. A tortured sojourner lost in a hellish purgatory, searching in despair for an exit. The Tower & the Star is not only a strange tale, but a frigid trek through melancholic dejection. One spirit's rove into the dark night and its arduous transformation throughout. An unmoored voyage with but a whit of hope to lay hold of that tunnel's subsequent light.

A collection of dark poems and dark dreams. A wild ride through the mind of an angry young man who both loved and hated the world. A bitter struggle to reconcile with the horrors of life, the idea of religion, and the violence inherent in the world.

Dare is the first work by author Melissa Leigh (she/her), a specialist in gothic horror short fiction and poetry. Her disturbing and terrifying works present frightening new takes on traditional horror tropes.

Leigh breaks the tension with dark romantic poems of love gone awry, love gone wrong, pining and longing.

A unique collection of eclectic stories and poetry designed to entertain, delight, and make you ponder everything. It has been compared to Alfred Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone for its creepy tone and themes.

A 7-year old girl saved from drowning with the sinking of the Titanic by...a mermaid? A copy-cat serial killer, separated by four decades and an ocean from the original, only to "rip" through the wrong neighborhood. Everything that could go wrong aboard a prototype airship's maiden flight does go wrong.... Is it true what they say about gremlins? And a group of friends from the city spending a serene summer by the lake in scenic upstate New York.... Do you really want to know what they did?
