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

Nightingale by nbsmith75

Samantha Mathis relives unspeakable horror night after night. It leaves her to lie broken on cold concrete, drowning in her own blood until dawn lurches her awake to the knowledge her recurring nightmare will soon be her reality. Samantha was only thirteen when her dark gift first surfaced; she dreamt about the murder of her classmate, Peter Foster. She hoped she'd never have to reveal her secret to anyone, but staring down at Peter's broken body by the river's edge, she knew she had to tell police chief George Mitchell. After being accused of Peter's murder and barely escaping prosecution, Samantha prayed her prophetic nightmares would disappear forever. Twenty years later, nightmares return to Samantha Mathis, Registered Nurse, and this time she's the intended victim. As if watching herself being run down by a car every night isn't horrifying enough, her dreams only provide a vague prelude to the night it will happen. Every nightmare brings her closer to her fate, but her subconscious refuses to give her the answers. When every clue to her would-be assailant leaves her with more questions, everyone she knows becomes suspect. She tells the Chief everything and prays he can help her piece the clues together before her killer hits the mark.

The Unfinished Case// A Sherlock Story by BuckysFarm

The sound of hearts beat side by side "I don't understand?" Foot steps thudding, nowhere to hide "Don't you know what's at hand?" With nothing left, but only sin "Please" So let's stop... And let the games begin. They say there's this person. A person who can make the most dangerous armies turn around and run, a person who would be great to fight beside but fearful to fight against, whose mind is as powerful as her weapons and whose skills are said to be equivalent to the gods. This person, this girl, this crimson rose. Told to be unstoppable, unbreakable, and unsolvable. Well, unsolvable until Sherlock Holmes. "I don't know how this will end, but I do know one will rise and the other descends."
