          "text": "This months Weird Tales has a new Wolfe story, \"My Name is Nancy Wood\" I read \nit quickly in the bookstore, so here are some spoilers\n\ns\np\no\ni\nl\ne\nr\ns\n\nIt is a first person account which purports to be a note found interred with a \nwoman who has been dead for a century.  According to a prefatory note from a \ndoctor, she is exhumed because their is a suspicion that she was poisoned by a \nlover and died.  The note says that Nancy Wood, the narrator, was transfered \nfrom a Sanatarium to a cardiac ward where she worked as a nurse.  She had a \npatient who was a Reverend.  He asks her to pray for him, and she eventually \nbreaks down and does so sincerely.  He says he doubts he will ever get back to \nSt. Martha of the Wood, and she notes that he thinks she must be related \nsomehow due to her name.  He dies, then gets up and gets dressed.  She takes \nhim home and they make love.  She takes him back to the hospital, where he is \nlater found dead.  He is rushed off to the morgue, but when he arrives there \nhe is alive again, so he gets sent back.  Nurse Wood begs her grandneice to \nbury her with pencil and paper in case the same thing should happen to her \nafter she dies.  The Reverend was married, so their affair was adulterous.\nIt ends with a disclaimer from the present day doctor, who doubts that the \nnote was really written in the grave.\n\nOk, here's my best shot at this one: the Reverend may have had some kind of \nmedication that induced the old false death of Romeo and Juliet fame.  He took \nit as a scam to win people over to his church and beliefs, and he used it to \nget Nurse Wood in bed.  It may have stopped his heart for a while or \nsomething.  Maybe his wife was poisoning him with it for infidelities.  \nPerhaps Nancy Wood was introduced to the same drug, through the jealous wife \nor by threatening to continue their affair or make it public after he returned \nto life.  However, I figure she would probably have been embalmed, so their \nmight be a much more mystical explanation than that, instead of my rather \nordinary drug idea.  I suppose I should look up the significance of Martha of \nthe Wood right now.  Just some initial impressions; I don't know if anyone \nelse has read it.\n\nMarc Aramini"
