The cabinet catalogue
The Reliquary
The collection is never quite arranged the same way twice. Six objects have been drawn from the cabinets for your examination.
The Last Fragrance
An empty bottle of cut glass and tarnished silver that preserved youth by spending the wearer's remaining years.
Open the recordThe Bitter Cup of Lady Chamberland
A fine porcelain teacup whose black, bitter contents repeat the cruel words spoken by its owner and refuse to remain empty.
Open the recordThe Black Book of Quarles
The cracked black volume in which Edgar Allan Poe signed the name Quarles, giving his words endurance and awakening the Caravan's eternal raven storyteller.
Open the recordThe Séance Bell of Ravensmoor Hall
Madame Celestine Vail's small silver séance bell: one tone for remembrance, two for sorrow, and three for presence.
Open the recordThe Owl at the Threshold
An iron owl door knocker that does not keep intruders out, but reminds the presence inside that it was never invited to leave.
Open the recordThe Three Singing Pumpkins
Three jack-o'-lanterns containing Harold, Clarence, and Albert, condemned by Margery to sing through the Halloween night.
