    About this ebook

    John Wilson arrives for the birthday party of Ellen Rackley. Straight away, he senses that things are not as they should be in the mansion where she lives. She is reluctant at first to tell him that something is wrong but very soon changes her mind. The discovery of an old diary belonging to an ancestor of Ellen tells of a strange meeting in the woods in Moldova. John and Ellen embark on a strange journey.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      It Happened to Me…

      Jan 5, 2022

      I too have experienced ‘The voice of authority’ [FT410:75]. When I was younger, I had a romance that lasted about six months. At first it was terrific, then it wasn’t, then it ended. Nothing drastic. Several months later, I had a day off work. I had

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an
