  Mark is uprooted from his home and high school in the Twin Cities and forced to move with his family into a Victorian in Nowhere-ville. Busy with the relocation and fitting in, Mark’s parents don’t see what’s unfolding around them—the way rooms and left behind objects seem alive with a haunted past. 
  That past is the mid-1800s where Emma dwells. Tormented by the loss of her mother and having to live with her overbearing father who hopes to see the eradication of all indigenous people, she nurses soldiers back to health. Her torment escalates as she develops a passion for the Native American hired hand who sleeps just beyond her bedroom door. Together, they must unite to battle the supernatural force threatening to consume—and curse—all who dare to tread on the grounds. Will their forbidden love survive? 
  Back in the 1980s, Mark keeps his ghostly encounters to himself, all the while sinking deeper into the house's dark, alluring, and ultimately terrifying history. As romantic entanglements with the ghostly Emma intensify, the paranormal activity heightens. Past and present come together. Everything is connected—from the bricks in the walls to the hearts beating in their chests, all the secrets of Fountain Dead are finally unearthed.

  "The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.

When she accepts a case to follow private investigator-cum-gigolo Francis Dómino, Wen plunges into an adventure that will change her life forever. While dealing with her mysterious client, she tangles with a comic-store clerk, an assassin, and the fans of Vendolin Woolfin, the bestselling romance novelist who hides a dark secret. Can superheroines take on the world without turning into supervillains? Wen is about to find out.

  In the heart of Scranton, where the supernatural lurks just beneath the surface, Kara and her sisters possess a remarkable ancestral gift—the ability to transform into the powerful Kodiak Bear. Their lives are entwined with the legacy of their great, great grandfather, who left them a treasure in the form of honey farms that have sustained their family for generations. All is serene in their world until an ominous threat, one that even the local vampires find unsettling, breaches their tranquil city, endangering one of their own. In the face of danger, the sisters unveil their sharpest claws, and they seek an unlikely ally: the captivating Stephan, a vampire with a penchant for Kara. Yet, in a world governed by ancient rules that forbid the mingling of their kind, Kara finds herself at a crossroads, torn between her instincts and societal norms. As the sisters delve deeper into their family's history, they unearth dark secrets dating back to their great grandfather's time. Kara, in her quest to break a long-standing family curse, discovers that her need for Stephan goes beyond the supernatural. Together, they must confront the past, navigate forbidden desires, and combat an ominous legacy. In doing so, Kara may come to realize that healing her heart is just as essential as breaking the curse, and Stephan might hold the key to both their destinies.
