The year is 1879. When thirteen-year-old Ruth Merritt Holbrook emerges from her family's burning estate, bloody and charred, but entirely numb--She makes headlines. Reporters believe she is deranged. They accuse her of having set the fire. All the headlines read: "UNSUSPECTING FAMILY SLAIN BY DERANGED DAUGHTER." Everyone believes it. How else could a highbred girl exit a burning building, injured yet senseless? Why did she not scream or cry? The police tell her she is a killer. The doctors tell her she is mad. The nuns at St. Agatha's tell her she is possessed. Perhaps, Ruth Merritt Holbrook is all of those things-or perhaps she is much more. Mysterious and Paranormal. Romance. More than meets the eye. ******* Sgt. Barton Rucklesbee September 13, 1882 The following is an account sent to our office on the first of this month. The whereabouts of those listed in this document are currently unknown. Case Notes: Personally, I don't believe a word of this. It seems like a child's story to me. Best not to be taken too seriously. Read at your own folly as it is quite the elaborate tale and you may find yourself wasting the entirety of a day on it. Sgt. Barton Rucklesbee ******* Senseless: The Unnatural Case Of Miss Merritt Holbrook ******* Author's note: This is a novel I wrote for my undergraduate thesis. I studied the Victorian era/ genre and wrote a novel in the styles of "Dracula" and Leanna Renee Hieber's "Darker Still." There are a lot of sections but they are all fairly short. Also, it may not be perfectly edited. To the wonderful grammar wizards out there, don't worry about it. Just sit back and enjoy the story and characters, I'll deal with the grammar later. Thanks for reading! Enjoy. :) First Posted: August 31, 2018 {On the Wattpad featured list 9/20/18}

"How do I know this is real? How do I know what you're saying is true?" I demanded. "You don't, but I bet you're feeling things that you've never felt before. Your head is probably saying that this is impossible; however, your heart beats faster and faster in this place. It's begging you to remember, but the mind is almost blocking everything from you." All Thea Danvers had ever known was that she was the girl who "fell out of the sky" one fateful night when she was ten. Now, eight years later, new forces come into play, turning her world upside down. Forces of magic, forces of the darkness, forces of the unknown, and forces of the heart push Thea to discover who she truly is and into a world where not everything is how it seems and not everyone is who they claim to be.

Sahara lives in a society without men-a flawless utopia; at least, that's what everyone keeps telling her. But Sahara knows perfection comes at a cost, and she's spent her entire life acting the part of a warden's obedient daughter. She is expected to follow her mother's footsteps, to become a warden of the incarcerated men, known as Brutes. But when Sahara comes face to face with a real-life Brute, she realizes he is nothing like the government's terrifying and revolting depictions. Desperate to know why, Sahara makes a deal: she will keep his secret, but only if he answers some questions. The terrifying relationship between prosecutor and subject slowly morphs into a dangerous love, one that distorts the laws of right and wrong. When suspicions grow high and the Brute's life is in jeopardy, Sahara is faced with the ultimate dilemma: to save herself or her forbidden love.
