April, 1814. As news of Lord Byron’s death sweeps London, two young prostitutes are found murdered. The murderer, and his shocking motive, becomes a secret passed down from father to son, one which remains undisclosed for nearly 200 years. It is the truth of Dr. Peter Hudson, who witnessed modernity evaporate into uncertainty, a man who embodies the contemporary human condition like no other. The novella, The Postmodern Malady of Dr. Peter Hudson, is the title story in this collection of eight short stories that unite around themes of time, memory and identity. Each is an experiment in convention, characterisation, and genre that use the tropes of crime, murder, and the paranormal to explore the contradiction between abstract understanding, and lived reality. These are stories about the reconciliation of these ideas in the midst of the human obsession with immortality and frailty.All Rights Reserved

Wicked Sins by ironlady456

"There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable." - Mark Twain ------------------------- The moment our eyes meet, the sparks in the air are almost tangible. My heart begins to flutter in my chest as I slowly slip away, drowning in those arcane silver seas that glinted with specks of gold in them. My breaths are stolen away with just a fortuitous slight brush of his hand against mine. And he isn't exactly in oblivion of the profound emotions he kindles in me. He is rather transparent about it. But, he is forbidden. He is my cousin's husband. The cousin who means more than a sister to me. We are bestfriends. And I just couldn't be selfish enough to set fire to their marriage that was already falling apart. So, I concealed my unequivocal attraction for him in the deepest corner of my mind until the night when he shows up on my doorstep with intents darker than the tenebrous night. -------------------------- **Warning: This novella contains mature and sexual contents.
