Those who know its name speak it carefully. Not merely a tale, but a presence—woven into the very foundation of a house built for God. So, lets dive into that!

W.B. Yeats’s He Wishes His Beloved Were Dead stands out as an unusual take on the Gothic tradition, subverting its typical themes of mourning a lost lover or yearning for a love that has already slipped into death. Instead of lamenting a beloved who has died, the speaker disturbingly expresses a wish for his beloved to die—not out of cruelty, but from a twisted longing to finally experience the depth of her love in the stillness and silence of the grave. So, let's dive into that!

This week I bring to you a short story from an author I have mentioned here before.  That Author is Nathaniel Hawthorne and the story for this week's episode is “The Wives of the Dead”.  This story walks the fine line between the ambiguity of death and grief with an air of supernatural eeriness. The ending to this tale leaves the reader left guessing what is actually real and what is but a dream casted by a mourning and grieving heart.  So, let’s dive into that.

Across these different realms of human experience, the raven continues to evoke fascination, serving as a reminder of the mysteries of life, death, and the spiritual realm that lies beyond.  This week we crawl through the dark and shadows to uncover a creature soaked in myth and legend and bring it to the light.  They leave you asking are they friend or foe? The raven is much more than just a creature that sits on the shoulder of the wicked witch much more than just a bird.  So let’s dive into that!

This week we turn our focus to  Carmen Maria Machado's short story titled “The Husband Stitch”.  Coming across her story it masks the classic tale of the green ribbon within a story that tells the life of a woman who reflects on her marriage, motherhood, and the struggles of maintaining her identity.  It is a tale that builds a postmodern horror critique of the patriarchal expectation of women and the definition of “good husbands”. In a day and age where women are under the microscope this is a very fitting horror tale.  So, let’s dive into that.

Once a grand symbol of elegance, the Queen Mary was a luxurious ocean liner that dazzled passengers with her opulence and grandeur. She carried the world’s elite across the Atlantic, her sleek lines cutting through the waves with effortless grace.  As time passed, the Queen Mary retired to her final resting place in Long Beach, California, where she became a floating museum, hotel, and a paranormal lover's disneyland. This week we stay on the topic of haunted hotels as we set sail on the infamous RMS Queen Mary.  So, let's dive into that!
