Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.1 - Dark Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol3 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 1 by Nathaniel Hawthorne4 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 2 by Nathaniel Hawthorne5 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France7 - From the Dead by Edith Nesbit8 - Lost in a Pyramid (or, The Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard9 - Amour Dure - Part 1 by Violet Paget writing as Vernon Lee10 - Amour Dure - Part 2 by Violet Paget writing as Vernon Lee11 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling12 - The Force of Blood by Miguel de Cervantes13 - Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter by Sheridan Le Fanu14 - The Dream Woman by Wilkie Collins15 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon16 - The Devil's Mother-in-Law by Fernan Caballeron17 - An Alpine Divorce by Robert Barr18 - The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce19 - The Story of Salome by Amelia Edwards20 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit21 - The Second Generation by Algernon Blackwood22 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach23 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach24 - The Vampire Maid by Hume Nisbet25 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman26 - Uncle Abraham's Romance by Edith Nesbit27 - Dionea - Part 1 by Vernon Lee28 - Dionea - Part 2 by Vernon Lee

La petite Rose, ses six tantes et ses sept cousins
Rose, orpheline de père et mère, est pâle et chétive. Quel dommage qu'une si affectueuse petite fille soit condamnée à vivre de potions et de pilules, à se morfondre seule, vêtue de noir, dans une grande maison triste. Condamnée ? L'oncle Alec voit la situation d'un autre oeil. « Ce qu'il faut à Rose, pense-t-il, c'est une chambre claire, des robes pimpantes, le soleil, le grand air et du mouvement. Elle a justement sept cousins qui sont tout aussi à l'aise à cheval et en bateau qu'à pied. Pourquoi ne pas mettre Rose à leur école ? »

Blood & Thunder: The Dark Tales of Louisa May Alcott
Before Little Women, Louisa May Alcott wrote what she called her “blood and thunder tales” — dark, pulpy thrillers penned under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard. These lurid tales of forbidden love, manipulation, and murder were lost for nearly a century before being rediscovered in 1942. This collection of Alcott's forgotten stories gives a rare glimpse into the darker side of 19th century women.

Abbot's Ghost Maurice Traherne is wrongly accused of fraud and gambling and must play a careful hand if he is to win his love, Octavia, from the grasp of other, less honorable men and retain the trust of those who had faith in him. Traherne is temporarily crippled saving the life of his well-born friend, Jaspar. Thus, Jaspar is assured of inheriting his father's estate, but it is expected that Traherne will inherit great wealth as gratitude for saving the heir. But--surprise!--on the death of Jaspar's father all are shocked to learn that Traherne has been disinherited: the will has been changed at the last minute and only the suffering Traherne knows why but won't tell and then he falls in love with Jaspar's sister, the fair Octavia. However, Octavia is forbidden to marry, as Traherne is penniless. The Baron's Gloves Two rather young women, Amy and Helen, traveling with an older uncle, are doing the 'tour' of Europe, and are supposedly soaking up education but secretly yearning for adventures and romance. At this wish for adventure, a pair of gloves suddenly drops beside them from a balcony above their hotel room near Coblentz. Ah, whose gloves? The two young men who enter the lives of these ladies are rich and eligible adventurers traveling through Europe, and agree to play a prank on the young women by becoming aides to their uncle.

Audiobook
'The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.” Little Men endearing book is a lighthearted look at the lives of the children of Little Women’s favorite characters. The story follows a 6-month span in the lives of students and teachers at Plumfield, a school run by Little Women’s Jo March and her husband. When the book’s narrator—Nat Blake, a new student—arrives at Plumfield school, he finds out that the school is rather unconventional. Instead of solely sitting in a classroom doing recitation or lessons, the students in this school are allowed to take the time to do things they enjoy: farming, tending to animals, pillow fighting, etc. This is a school where individuality is sacred and students are treated as unique. Little Men was Louisa May Alcott’s way of continuing the story of the March family and also espousing her views on education and the value of individualized learning. The book was influential to educators of the time period who found inspiration in Alcott’s description of an alternative form of schooling children to be their best selves.

Audiobook
Louisa May Alcott was born on 29th November 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania.She is most definitely a writer of her own experiences. Her father was a transcendentalist, philosopher and educational experimenter who founded, Fruitlands, a utopian community. Although poor, her liberal and progressive parents provided Louisa with much of her education, which was enhanced by many family friends that included Thoreau, Hawthorne and Emerson, a neighbour whose library she was often found reading in. She started writing stories as a way of providing the family with some financial stability. Times were difficult and the effects of poverty were always close at hand. During the Civil War she went to Washington to be a nurse and became ill with typhoid fever although she continued to write and build her success. However, the treatment for typhus gave her mercury poisoning which caused further health issues for the rest of her life and eventually contributed to her death. Alcott visited her father on his deathbed in Boston. Two days later on 6th March 1888 she also died resulting in a joint funeral. Well-loved for her classic 'Little Women' she was a superb writer in difficult times for any woman, a strong advocate of women's issues, the anti-slavery movement, temperance and social reform. Her work often reflects on the rich experiences in her life and these poignant short stories are a fine testament to this. Additionally under pseudonyms she wrote dozens of gothic thrillers and sensation stories. She is also famed for her children's stories. One of Alcott's most startling stories is the 'The Brothers' a tale of two brothers during the Civil War and the after-effects.
