The Hour of 3:17
Meher had only recently finished his studies and joined his first job. He never liked the chaos and noise of the city, so he rented a small apartment in a quiet colony just outside town, close to his office. Few people lived there. At night, the streets emptied quickly, leaving behind only the distant howls of stray dogs and the occasional whisper of the wind. It was the kind of silence he found comforting.

Exorcists have a bad habit of dumping malevolent spirits at the nearest convenient hill, swamp, or forest - without considering that other people might want to use those places, too.

Book Review: Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Author: Henry James
Title: Turn of the Screw
Narrator: Vanessa Benjamin
Publication Info: Blackstone Publishing, 2008 [Originally published in 1898]
Summary/Review:Henry James’ work of Gothic fiction is a ghost story that works on many levels. The novella is presented as an account by a governess charged with caring for the orphan children, Flora and Miles. With an immediate fondness toward the children, the governess grows concerned about the mysterious presence of a man and a woman affecting the children’s behavior. She ultimately comes to believe that they are the ghosts of the previous governess Miss Jessel and valet Peter Quint, both of whom had been close to the children. The governess’ attempts to protect the children lead to tragic twists. It’s a story that features a strong sense of eeriness but also metaphorical without being heavy handed.
