Leon's panic stricken eyes locked on hers, wide and full of fear. "I killed her", he confessed in stunted gasps. "In the crematorium. Ten years ago". The meaning of his words began to dawn on her, and she pulled backwards slowly. "Leon", she asked in an overly-calm voice. "What did you do?" He gan to break down in tears. "I killed her," he wept. "Burned her up. I had to. She attacked me. She couldn't have been alive. She wasn't alive". Leon's mind was slowly surfacing back to reality, and his sentences took more form. "I was doing an autopsy. On a girl. Sexual assault victim. She was...mulitated, terribly. I was halfway through the autopsy, when she.." Leon began to cough heavily, starving himself of oxygen. "She came alive". Impossibly. She attacked me. She would have killed me". He began sobbing heavily again. "She's still trying to".

Vampyre’s Pyre was a work long in the making. For as long as I could remember I had a fascination with these fictional beings. They always brought thoughts of cobblestone streets at night, lit by gaslight. The sound of hoof beats growing louder. In my mind I saw them also rampant and wild in forests, reclusive, seductive. I had never really considered them something to be feared. Well, not until... There is more to their lore than meets the eye. They are continually elusive, one might say. But that’s when the question becomes clear. ...Are they possibly near?

Yes, he is passing through the acid test - here is a story for each one of you to know the secret that lies in his act --

Between Poverty and the Pyre examines the history of the experience of widowhood across different cultures. It brings together a collection of essays by historians, anthropologists and philologists. The book shows how difficult it is to define the 'typical' widow, as the experiences of these women have differed so widely, not simply because of their different time periods and locations, but also becuase of their varying legal and religious status and economic conditions. The study is diverse with subjects ranging from: *Hindu wives who followed their husbands to the pyre *widows who were burned as witches *and widows who had to become prostitutes to stay alive. The book also explores Jesus's interest in widows and the experience of some well-known widows, such as Mohammed's first wife.

The Phoenix is a mythical creature known to be a sign of rebirth and strength. The book, ‘Pyre of a Phoenix’ – is a collection of writings of the author’s own lived experiences on her attempt to rise from the ‘ashes’ of her gloom. Each writing poetically describes how common emotions – like grief, sorrow and pain are encountered by the author and how she tries to tackle them each day. This book has been written with the hope to find and help people who often feel the same but lack the opportunity or company to express themselves. As one proceeds, the book speaks about many such random yet critical issues which burden us every day but remain brushed under the carpet.
