Blackthorn
by
And I know at long last that I’m free of this place and the stranglehold it has always had over me. Except for my dreams where Blackthorn and its ghosts will always find me, I’m finally free.
Oh, I like the beginning at the end prologue.

“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”
