David Byron (29 January 1947 – 28 February 1985) born as David Garrick was the original lead vocalist for Spice (from 1967 through 1969)

In the year 1691, Lois Barclay stood on a little wooden pier, steadying herself on the stable land, in much the same manner as, eight or nine weeks ago,
she had tried to steady herself on the deck of the rocking ship which had carried her across from Old to New England. It seemed as strange now to be on solid
earth as it had been, not long ago, to be rocked by the sea both by day and by night; and the aspect of the land was equally strange. The forests which showed
in the distance all around, and which, in truth, were not very far from the wooden houses forming the town of Boston, were of different shades of green,
and different, too, in shape of outline to those which Lois Barclay knew well in her old home in Warwickshire.
Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman By: Mary Wollstonecraft

Orpheus in Mayfair and Other Stories By: Maurice Baring
Heraclius Themistocles Margaritis was a professional musician. He was a singer and a composer of songs; he wrote poetry in Romaic, and composed tunes to suit rhymes.
But it was not thus that he earned his daily bread, and he was poor, very poor. To earn his livelihood he gave lessons, music lessons during the day,
and in the evening lessons in Greek, ancient and modern, to such people (and these were rare) who wished to learn these languages. He was a young man,
only twenty-four, and he had married, before he came of age, an Italian girl called Tina. They had come to England in order to make their fortune.
They lived in apartments in the Hereford Road, Bayswater.
In "Seven Men" the brilliant English caricaturist and critic Max Beerbohm turns his comic searchlight upon the fantastic fin-de-siecle world of the 1890s--

Tales of Terror and Mystery By: Arthur Conan Doyle
This book is about the idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some
unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humor, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imaginative
of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and tragic facts which reinforce the statement. Though the assertions contained
in it are amazing and even monstrous, it is nonetheless forcing itself upon the general intelligence that they are true, and that we must
readjust our ideas to the new situation.
Henry James, O.M. (April 15, 1843 - February 28, 1916) was an American author who emigrated to Britain and acquired British nationality shortly before his death.
"The Altar of the Dead" is a fable of literally life and death significance, the story explores how the protagonist tries to keep the remembrance of his dead
friends, to save them from being forgotten entirely in the rush of everyday events. He meets a woman who shares his ideals, only to find that the past places
what seems to be an impassable barrier between them. Although James was not religious in any conventional sense, the story shows a deep spirituality in its
treatment of mortality and the transcendent power of unselfish love.
"Miles ahead of the average ghost-story"--"Sunday Times" "Among the best-written in the genre of supernatural fiction"--"All Hallows"
A novelist retreats to an abandoned house in the heart of London, where he becomes enthralled by an eighteenth-century spirit--and where his contact
with the outside world gradually diminishes.
The ideal being who is here presented as residing in solitude, and haunted by a consciousness of his own deformity, and a suspicion of his being generally
subjected to the scorn of his fellow-men, is not altogether imaginary. An individual existed many years since, under the author's observation,
which suggested such a character. This poor unfortunate man's name was David Ritchie, a native of Tweeddale. He was the son of a labourer in the
slate-quarries of Stobo, and must have been born in the misshapen form which he exhibited, though he sometimes imputed it to ill-usage when in infancy.
He was bred a brush-maker at Edinburgh, and had wandered to several places, working at his trade, from all which he was chased by the disagreeable
attention which his hideous singularity of form and face attracted wherever he came. The author understood him to say he had even been in Dublin.
This is a story about two feuding Scottish families, a tragic love affair, a cruel and scheming mother, murder, and insanity form the basis for
Scott's most intricate and searching love story, the tale of tragically conflicting passion which conveys challenging insights into emotional and
sexual politics.
The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne By: Ann Radcliffe
Years ago, when Young Earl Osbert of Castle Athlin was a boy, his father was ambused and slain by Baron Malcolm of Dunbayne. Now Osbert has come into his majority, and he's gone to avenge his father's murder.
Not meant to be a literary masterpiece, not quite a horror story and not really serious. More like fantasy with bite; ‘The Final Song’ is a fast and wicked romp through the world of human foibles, demons, death and a new way of collecting souls. After all, Armageddon is coming and the Devil definitely needs more soldiers.
The Devil has found music too slow to recruit souls. Computer games are the obvious next step. Meet demons and vampires and the Brotherhood. An old friend returns and the mayhem continues.
Although Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. Good examples are the novels
The Centaur, which climaxes with a travellers sight of a herd of the mythical creatures; and Julius LeVallon and its sequel The Bright Messenger, which deal
with reincarnation and the possibility of a new, mystical evolution in human consciousness. His best stories, such as those collected in the book Incredible
Adventures, are masterpieces of atmosphere, construction and suggestion.
A woman in Wales has her mind destroyed by a scientist's attempt to enable her to see the god of nature Pan. Years later, a young woman named
Helen Vaughan arrives on the London social scene, disturbing many young men and causing some to commit suicide; it transpires that she is the
monstrous offspring of the god Pan and the woman in the experiment.
In "Supernatural Horror in Literature" (1926; revised 1933), H. P. Lovecraft praised the novel, saying: "No one could begin to describe the cumulative
suspense and ultimate horror with which every paragraph abounds"; he added that "the sensitive reader" reaches the end with "an appreciative shudder."
Lovecraft also noted, however, that "melodrama is undeniably present, and coincidence is stretched to a length which appears absurd upon analysis."
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993) notes "The story begins with an sf rationale (brain surgery) which remains one of the most dramatically
horrible and misogynistic in fiction."
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (29 September 1810 – 12 November 1865), often referred to simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was an English novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era. She is perhaps best known for her biography of Charlotte Brontë. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature.
'It is the likeness of a great-aunt of her husband's.' (My friend was standing by me, and looking at the picture with sympathetic curiosity.) 'See! here is the name on the open page of this Bible, "Anna Scherer, 1778" Frau Scherer says there is a tradition in the family that this pretty girl, with her complexion of lilies and roses, lost her colour so entirely through fright, that she was known
by the name of the Grey Woman. She speaks as if this Anna Scherer lived in some state of life-long terror. But she does not know details; refers me to her husband for them. She thinks he has some papers which were written by the original of that picture for her daughter, who died in this very house not long after our friend there was married. We can ask Herr Scherer for the whole story if you like.'
