Virginia Woolf's Ghostly Couple
Okay, so I'm taking a real risk here and featuring A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf on my Tuesday's Tale of Terror.
Woolf, known as a Bloomsbury Group intellectual, is not a horror writer or even a mystery writer but this very short dark literary fiction will certainly please the mind and heart.
It'll take you all of 7 minutes to read it.

Normally my blog is classic (dead) authors but this story was so much fun, I really wanted to share it with those who have not read it. 30-minute read! And the audio version too.

Draakensky: A Supernatural Tale of Magick and Romance
Draakensky, A Supernatural Tale of Magick and Romance, Update
Dear Readers, I am the author of Draakensky, A Supernatural Tale of Magick and Romance. I spent nearly 5 years writing and researching this Gothic romantic thriller. You will find the story full of Gothic intrigue, ghostly mysteries, psychological suspense, and a lush romantic adventure. The story has elements of fantasy because so much of the story hinges on magick and the power of magickal realms on the Draakensky Windmill Estate. U.S. Review of Books called Draakensky, "A sturdy, old-fashioned Gothic thriller, thoroughly charming in its atmosphere and invention and anchored by a fully dimensional heroine in the vein of Mrs. de Winter or Jane Eyre."
Come meet sketch artist Charlotte Knight as she confronts witchcraft, dark magick, and the Otherworld entities on Draakensky Windmill Estate in Bedford, New York.
This book is considered "quiet horror" by most standards and is more aptly described as a supernatural mystery because of its eerie atmospheric setting, paranormal activity, psychological tension, and romantic intrigue. I hope you enjoy your adventure to the Draakensky Windmill Estate as much as I loved writing the story. As for many writers, entering the imaginal realm of fiction is a privilege and honor, and I thank all my readers who take the fictional journey with me.
In the words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke, “Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
