What would he say? How would he raise the issue of her condition without alarming her? He couldn't just utter the words, "Are you aware that you're dead?"

Genre: Fantasy

Excerpt: "Sometimes I think it's kind of nice that vampires are accepted in this fictional society," Glo said.

My attention perked up. That was different. But the response from the rest of our friends was not.

An alchemist attempts to create a coat that will allow her to travel to other dimensions.

Genre: Fantasy

Excerpt: Aunt Mariya was certain that she had solved the mystery of the many dimensions. All of us could do it, but our minds and bodies prevented us from going, be-cause the environments in these other dimensions were different. Some were slightly different. Some more drastically so. One would die as certainly as a diver without oxygen and a space-walker without a spacesuit would die. Only in these other dimensions, it would not be the body that suffered injury, but the mind and the soul.

What's the Word (that inspired the story)?Bugaboo: something that causes fear or worry; bugbear; bogy Bugbear: 1) any source, real or imaginary, of needless fright or fear. 2) a persistent problem or source of annoyance. (source: dictionary.com)

And from thenceforth, only candle flames could abide in our country.

What's the Word (that inspired the story)?Heck if I know. There doesn't appear to be one for this story.

She is seen from shoulders up wearing a coat. The titles of the other books and the number indicating their order in the sequence are readable from the spines. From left to right they are as follows.

After their realm is cursed to suffer absolute darkness, four companions are tasked with finding the secret of breaking the curse.

Genre: Mythology, Fantasy

Excerpt: In those days, all people had the power to send their shadows off to explore the world around them, but those shadows could only travel in one direction, the direction in which they were cast by the sun. But these people with two shadows, they could send one shadow in one direction and the other shadow in the opposite direction. In this way, they could explore and gather knowledge far more quickly than the people of other lands. These people came to be called the amphiscians, the two-shadowed people.

What's the Word (that inspired the story)?Amphiscians: inhabitants of the tropics (from the Greek "amphiskios," "casting a shadow both ways") It somehow slipped my mind that there is another vocabulary word in this story. I didn't mention this in the episode, but the name of the hero, "Glissade" is a word that means "a skillful glide over snow or ice in descending a mountain, as on skis or a toboggan." So specific!

There is a door in the basement of my new house that leads to nowhere, or so I thought…

Genre: Fairy Tale, Fantasy

Excerpt: When buds are twisted too tightly, they will never bloom beautifully, my grandmother always said, all the more so after she'd witness my staying in my little corner of the room at a party in our house while the other children played with each other. But she did not know that I was surrounded by friends in my own world, in Castle Farouche.

That is…I didn't think she knew.

What's the Word (that inspired the story)?Farouche: 1) fierce. 2) sullenly unsociable or shy

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. At left, a girl in right profile with short hair, wearing pants and a hoodie, walks through an open door, the inside of which is black. The door swings out to the left. Behind it at an angle is a brick wall.

A young boy seeks to make his mother proud by picking the pocket of a man whose fortunes no one has ever managed to steal, not even the master thieves.

Genre: Fantasy

Excerpt: In the town of Pennyhaven, there was honor among thieves.

For thieving was allowed, but only if done according to the strictest of rules, which were set by the Union of Thieves. The Union had a truce with the local constabulary to deal with any thief in town who did not abide by those rules. Their highest and foremost rule, for example, was that no living creature could be harmed by thieving. Their next highest rule was that only non-living objects may be stolen. And so on. Any aspiring thieves who broke the rules of the Union would never see membership, and would indeed be dealt with by the Union before the constabulary ever need step in.

What's the Word (that inspired the story)?I'm not sure. My notes are unclear. But it might be the name of the main character, "Eridanus."

It is the name of a constellation and a river god, and the river itself. The name is of Greek origin and means "early burnt." This is for its connection to the mythical story of Phaethon, the son of the sun god, Helios. Phaethon stole his father's chariot—the sun—and recklessly rode it, causing mayhem until Zeus threw a thunderbolt at him, striking him down. Phaethon fell to his death, into the river Eridanus.

To rescue her kidnapped infant sister from a magical monarch, Parni and her pet rat enter the dream realm and pass through nightmare and illusion.

Genre: Fairy Tale, Fantasy

Excerpt: Three days has passed since Parnika's baby sister, Kulfi, has been taken by the Marshmallow Monarch.

Such was the price of living in a town that bordered the famed and infamous slumberland—the source of all dreams and nightmares. Most people only ever visited slumberland in their dreams. But Parni's people lived close enough to enter the land in body as well as in mind.

Myriad signs of warning marked the borders of slumberland. They were meant for grown folk. Children didn't need such signs.

For only children could see slumberland…

What's the Word (that inspired the story)?Slumberland: an imaginary land described to children as the place they enter during sleep. (source: dictionary.com)
