Jonathan Abel is a hard-working, by-the-book inspector in the otherwise sleepy town of Mortacre. His days and nights are spent in service of "the greater good", making the streets a safer place for the common man. Inspector Abel was the instinctive choice when word got out of a new murder.
  
  However, all hell soon breaks loose as a string of bloody massacres continue to litter the streets, all in the dead of night. Simple bloodlust is not the motive of this killer... or is it?
  
  As the case progresses and Abel's own ideals are put to question, he soon finds himself face-to-face with an ancient menace. How far will he go to enact justice?

The Knight of Slaughtaverty by MaggieOHighley
76 parts Ongoing Mature
In the sleepy town of Slaughtavery, all is not as it seems. In 1745, boys began to disappear, leaving no trace behind. The town was trapped in a hush of anxiety, gripped by fear too profound to express. After beautiful Madrigal Byrne ran away on her wedding day, the district was hurled into horror and madness until the lord of the Manor ended it with one vicious act of judgment and became known as the Knight of Slaughtaverty. Now, nearly 300 years later, antique appraiser Aubrey Dankworth answers an advertisement to catalogue the huge collection of antiques inside Slaughtaverty Manor, and shortly after her arrival, history seems to be repeating itself... TW:- I'm marking this novel as mature due to its violent nature, upsetting themes (abuse, murder, and others), blood, and gore. This book is not meant for squeamish or sensitive readers. Reader discretion is advised.

You are saved by a complete stranger that has an enticing, mysterious aura. Your heart longs to know more but your mind is skeptic.

The Demon of Saint-Eli by riversmelodie
1 part Complete Mature
When a young devout woman seek out his help, the mysterious private investigator Simeon Engels knows that something peculiar is happening behind the masquerade of the town's most powerful man. But he will need to be careful... for justice can very easily be mistaken for bloodlust. The first ever short story of mine to earn a Mature filter (as it typically makes me uncomfortable to write dark and gritty stories), and, another first, one completely outside of the universes of my previous stories. It's completely standalone, with its own mythology and fantasy/realism rules, etc. Which made it even more so liberating, as I no longer needed to stick within an existing continuity in terms of what's possible and what's not. The Demon of Saint-Eli is the introduction (in an hopefully long collection of short stories) of an OC that I have come to love the concept for months: Simeon Engels, the mysterious private investigator that hides a greater secret than anyone could ever guess. At first wishing it to be a Victorian/film noir hybrid, I changed it instead to a steampunk setting, that allowed a greater range of what could be integrated in the story. Overall, I hope you enjoy this story. I hope to make it into a collection of stories revolving around the adventures and character development of Simeon Engels, and I hope that you will find him as interesting as I conceptualize him to be. 9th May 2021: this story is now part of a sale of art for charity. This will remain up for previewing the stories, but upon purchase, will be removed from Wattpad.
