Sinopsis

A short story based on the character Evelyn Adrian from THE CAJUN GIRL. 
A woman is left homeless after a fire destroys her apartment building in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the same time, a severe thunderstorm warning is issued. Trying to get out of the city at night in a downpour while caught in heavy traffic she makes a wrong turn. Evelyn finds a farmhouse by accident. About to knock and ask directions, the door creaks open. 
Excerpt: 
The old dark house stood alone on the right side of a dirt road. Power lines came down when severe thunderstorms tore through southern Louisiana earlier in the day. She got a flashlight from the trunk of her car, and climbed the steps to the wraparound porch. A cool breeze rippled her T-shirt. Lightning cast her elongated shadow onto the door. About to knock and ask directions, the door creaked open. Evelyn backed up. A wind gust whipped her long hair in a frenzy. She took a deep breath and quickly exhaled. “Hello?” she called out in a soft tone, nudging the door open wider with the flashlight.

The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe is a masterful exploration of one of humanity's most primal fears: being buried alive. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century anxieties surrounding premature burial, this chilling tale takes readers into the mind of a narrator who is consumed by the terror of being mistakenly entombed while still alive. Poe, with his signature style, weaves a story that delves deep into the psychological torment of his protagonist, blending horror with a keen understanding of the fragility of the human mind. 
As the narrator recounts instances of premature burial that feed his obsession, the line between reality and paranoia blurs, creating an atmosphere of intense suspense and dread. Through rich and vivid descriptions, Poe explores themes of death, fear, and the uncontrollable nature of fate. The Premature Burial is not only a haunting tale but also a reflection of the era's medical uncertainties and the universal fear of death. This gripping story stands as a testament to Poe's ability to tap into the darkest corners of the human psyche, making it a timeless piece of Gothic literature.

But on her sister’s bewildering but strict instructions, she must not converse with any but the Russian Prince Nikolai, who’s also keen to woo her, as is an opulent Indian Rajah… Something about Mistral touches Sir Robert’s heart – and he cannot understand why Mistral appears afraid to be with him. Yet both of them crave love. Only if Mistral’s innocent eyes are finally opened to the truth – that Aunt Emilie’s motives are borne not of concern for her niece but of pure evil and greed – will she find her heart’s desire…
