    About this ebook

    When Nora meets Magnus, the new coroner for the city of Philadelphia and her uncle Charley's old college chum, she begins to imagine a life beyond keeping house for Charley and his children. Magnus's sister Annabel seems overjoyed at the prospect of Nora joining the family, but this isn't reassuring: for Annabel can no longer be counted among the living, and she loves her brother a little too much.

    "The Coroner's Bride" is an old-fashioned ghost story in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe and Sheridan Le Fanu, originally published in Exotic Gothic, Volume 5, edited by Danel Olson.

      The Coroner's Bride

      Camille DeAngelis

      It is an experience known to all who sleep, to be called out of a dream by a voice which cannot be traced upon revival of the waking faculties. The voice may be that of one in the household who denies any attempt to wake the sleeper, or it may belong to one who is very far away, even beyond the grave. In my case, it was a voice completely unfamiliar to me, though it spoke as if it knew me all my life.

      Once my chores were finished and before the children arrived home from school, it was my habit to go out into our little back garden with my needlework and revel for a while in the bright afternoon. As I grew drowsy in the dappled shade of the elm tree, the sounds of the city faded and my embroidery hoop fell to my lap. One day, indulging myself in this manner, I heard the voice. It was not Mariah's—how could it be?—but it spoke with the same easy affection:

      Have you ever known a finer day, Nora? The sun rims everything in gold. Oh, I do wish I could feel that breeze on my face. You're so fortunate to be possessed of all your senses.

      This strange remark roused me somewhat.

      Look, Nora, a hummingbird! They say hummingbirds move so quickly they live outside of time. Perhaps I am a sort of hummingbird myself now.

      I woke fully then, darting glances to either side as a clamor of childish laughter and scurrying footsteps sounded on the pavement beyond the side gate. I was alone in the garden, apart from the hummingbird dipping into the honeysuckle upon the lattice.

      My uncle is not the sociable creature he once was, in happier times, so it was a pleasant sort of shock when he brought an old college chum home for supper. Charley introduced me to Dr. Cutler with a warmth and vigor he hadn't shown for months, and I could tell they'd already passed an hour or two in the tavern. The children stared at the two men in fascinated
