A Letter from Madame Nocturna: Ah, my dear wanderers of the strange and unexplainable, it is a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. I am Madame Nocturna, Keeper of the Occult and Curator of All Things Supernatural. You may have heard whispers of me through my esteemed husband, Dr. M, but allow me to illuminate the shadows of my own past, for my story is not one easily told in the daylight.
 
My education, if you could call it such, was never confined to the dusty corridors of universities or the limited theories of mortal scholars. No, my lessons were taught by other forces—those not bound by time, space, or even the limitations of human understanding. I was but a child when I first communed with the beyond, a curious soul who wandered too far into forbidden places. By the time I returned, I was… changed, gifted with the knowledge of things unseen. From there, my path diverged from the mundane and into realms most fear to even dream of.
 
I have spent lifetimes studying ancient rituals, forbidden texts, and the intricate art of summoning forces that dwell beyond our reality. While others chase ghosts with their gadgets and gadgets—how amusing!—I invite them into my very being, allowing the spirits to speak their truths through me. My true mentors have always been the souls that linger on the edge of oblivion, and the secrets they’ve imparted? Well, let’s just say some are too dangerous for even you to know.
 
And so, alongside my beloved Dr. M, I reside at the curious crossroads of the real and the unreal, the living and the dead. He may analyze the fragile mind, but I? I tend to the spirits that dance just out of sight, the phantoms that call to you in the dead of night, the creatures whose whispers can drive you mad if you listen too closely. I am, in every way, your guide to the unknown.
 
I look forward to exploring these shadowy realms with you, dear ones. But do remember this: the line between life and death, the seen and unseen, is thinner than you think. And once you step across that threshold… well, let’s just say, there are some doors you should never open.
With shadowy regards,
 
“Fear is not just a feeling, darling—it’s a doorway. And I? I know what waits on the other side.”
Madame Nocturna

Dr. M – A Biography

Curator of the Dark and Delightful, Master of the Macabre, and Founder of Asylum Ink

Born (or so they say) in the Forgotten Village of Eldritch Hollows, a place that no longer exists on any known map, Dr. M showed signs of an unnatural fascination with the strange and uncanny from an early age. His primary education was completed at the Institute of Perplexing Shadows, where he majored in “Obscure Horrors” and minored in “Whispers of the Abyss.” His high school years were spent at St. Crypt’s Academy for the Peculiar, where he was voted “Most Likely to Summon Unmentionable Beings.”

He went on to earn his doctorate in Experimental Fearcrafting from the Miskatonic School of Maddening Studies—though, some say his graduation was less of a ceremony and more of an “escape.” His post-doctoral research on “The Effects of Cosmic Terror on Fragile Human Minds” took him deep into the catacombs of The Lost Library of Harrowgate, where he uncovered knowledge best left undisturbed.

Now, as the founder and director of Asylum Ink, Dr. M resides within the Asylum’s twisting halls, gathering tales, art, and creatures too terrifying to be seen by the faint-hearted. Some say he never leaves the Asylum; others claim he’s simply biding his time, preparing for a “grand reveal.” But one thing’s certain: wherever Dr. M goes, reality is never quite the same again…
