What must Ruscha do to secure the magic word that kills when it's uttered? Taken from a Danish folk tale, and spiced up with lively characters and murky atmosphere, this short tale delivers some wonderful chills.
Elizabeth Ellet wrote for the magazines, or periodicals in the mid-1800s, and the name of Mrs. Ellet was recognized in literary circles. In 1848, she published her most important work: "The Women of the American Revolution". Today, Ellet is perhaps known best for the scandal she leaked about Edgar Allan Poe's rumored affair with Frances Sargent Osgood when both were married to other people. Poe maligned her in the press, knocked her writings, accused her of plagiarism, and even referred to her as "short and fat". In print.
