On June 13, 1888, Fernando António Nogueira Pessôa was born in Lisbon, Portugal. When he was scarcely five years old, his father died. His mother remarried a year and a half later to the Portuguese consul in Durban, South Africa. Pessoa attended an English school in Durban, where he lived with his family until the age of seventeen. When he was thirteen he made a year-long visit to Portugal, returning there for good in 1905. He began studying at the University of Lisbon in 1906 but dropped out after only eight months. During the following years he stayed with relatives or in rented rooms, making his living by translating, writing in avant-garde reviews, and drafting business letters in English and French. He began publishing criticism in 1912, creative prose in 1913, and poetry in 1914. This was also the year when the alter egos he called heteronymsAlberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Álvaro de Camposcame into existence. In 1915 he dropped the circumflex from his surname.The majority of Pessoa's poems, heteronymic or otherwise, appeared in literary journals and magazines. He published his first book of English poems, Antinous in 1918, followed by Sonnets(1918) and English Poems (1921), but released only a single book of Portuguese poems, Mensagem, in 1933. He died November 30, 1935, in Lisbon from cirrhosis of the liver. Pessoa avoided the literary world and most social contact; it wasn't until years after his death that his work garnered a wide readership.Literary alter egos were popular among early twentieth-century writers: Pound had Mauberley, Rilke had Malte Laurids Brigge, and Valéry had Monsieur Teste. But no one took their alter ego as far as Pessoa, who gave up his own life to confer quasi-real substance on the poets he designated at heteronyms, giving each a personal biography, psychology, politics, aesthetics, religion, and physique. Alberto Caeiro was an ingenuous, unlettered, unemployed man of the country. Ricardo Reis was a doctor and classicist who wrote Horace-like odes. Álvaro de Campos, a naval engineer, was a bisexual dandy who studied in Glasgow, traveled to the Orient, and lived outrageously in London. In an English text, Pessoa wrote, "Caeiro has one discipline: things must be felt as they are. Ricardo Reis has another kind of discipline: things must be felt, not only as they are, but also so as to fall in with a certain ideal of classic measure and rule. In Álvaro de Campos things must simply be felt." In later years, Pessoa also gave birth to Bernardo Soares, a "semiheteronym" who authored the sprawling fictional diary known as The Book of Disquietude; António Mora, a prolific philosopher and sociologist; the Baron of Teive, an essayist; Thomas Crosse, whose critical writings in English promoted Portuguese literature in general and Alberto Caeiro's work in particular; I. I. Crosse, Thomas's brother and collaborator; Coelho Pacheco, poet; Raphael Baldaya, astrologer; Maria José, a nineteen-year-old hunchback consumptive who wrote a desperate, unmailed love letter to a handsome metalworker who passed under her window on his way to work each day; and so on.At least seventy-two names besides Fernando Pessoa were "responsible" for the thousands of texts that were actually written and the many more that he only planned. Although Pessoa also published some works pseudonymically, he distinguished this from the "heteronymic" project: "A pseudonymic work is, except for the name with which it is signed, the work of an author writing as himself; a heteronymic work is by an author writing outside his own personality: it is the work of a complete individuality made up by him, just as the utterances of some character in a drama would be."From https://poets.org/poet/fernando-pessoa.

Disquietude is a noun that refers to a state of anxiety. The root word of disquietude is ‘quiet,’ a word of Latin origin that means ‘silent’ or ‘calm.’ When we disquiet a person or place, we disturb the peace and create uneasiness or disquietude. I noticed a disquietude when I entered the office that morning. I didn’t know what had caused such anxiety, but I had a feeling the day wouldn’t be pleasant.
In 1966, in a house on 30 East Drive in Yorkshire, UK, one of the most bizarre and violent hauntings in modern history began... and never ended. Ghost hunters and paranormal investigators from around the world dare to spend nights there in order to experience the world's most dangerous poltergeist, and rarely do they leave disappointed. With a surprising amount of photographic evidence, this haunting is the one that has evolved into the internet age like no other. Disquietude discusses the history and origins of this haunting, as well as it's recent impact on paranormal culture. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In August 2017, writer and cartoonist Adam Ellis posted a series of tweets in which he detailed a possible haunting in his apartment, centered around vivid dreams in which a dead child named "Dear David" would torment him. He could ask David two questions, but was told to NEVER ask a third... the tweets became a viral sensation, with the creepy experiences snowballing into a series of bizarre events, backed up with photo, audio and video evidence. The Twitterverse exploded with theories and debate with eagle-eyed followers using technology to notice small hidden details and go even deeper into the rabbit hole. So, was this an authentic haunting, or just a really good ghost story told in a clever way? We deep-dive into one of the biggest pieces of internet horror lore like only Disquietude can. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Tonight, Disquietude recounts the mass hysteria that swept the nation in the 80's with the belief that satanic cults were abusing our children in bizarre ceremonies that became known as "Satanic Ritual Abuse". Spurred on by the book "Michelle Remembers" along with sensationalist media, false accounts spread like wildfire. It eventually culminated in the most infamous and expensive child abuse trial in American history. We discuss how the fallout still affects media and culture to this very day. *WARNING*- this episode contains descriptions and victim accounts of sexual abuse and torture involving children. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Our library hosted a Tween Radio Play program in the summer of 2018 where our community's young people produced an original radio play.

When a student goes missing, it is up to his friends to face their fears and save their friend. Sit back, relax, close your eyes, and be taken away by this epic production!

John Ruskin’s account of the gothic spirit, from the central chapter of The Stones of Venice, ‘The Nature of Gothic’ (published in 1853), is highly influential and much fêted. Such influence has long been recognized over figures such as William Morris, over the architectural practices of Victorian Britain, and over political economic thought, especially after Ruskin’s 1862 publication of ‘Unto This Last’, which develops the earlier work’s critique of laissez-faire economics. But Ruskin’s innovative theorization of the concept of the gothic in ‘The Nature of Gothic’ has never been connected with gothic literature itself. This is a significant oversight, as this paper will demonstrate, one that has left a fundamental shift in Victorian gothic literature unrecognized, and that has allowed the eighteenth-century, consistently negative associations of the gothic to stand unchallenged in the very different world of post-Ruskinian gothic literature. Ruskin’s considerable influence over gothic fiction will be reconstructed, in this paper, by analysis of Charles Dickens’s Bleak House (1853), Sheridan Le Fanu’s In a Glass Darkly (1872) and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1886).
