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

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."

The Pianist by Mrs-UnkownWriter

In the heart of London, amidst the hustle and bustle of its diverse neighborhoods, resides Lauraine Carter - a young and gifted forensic pathologist by day, and a passionate pianist by night. Her life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious man, introduces himself as James Moriarty with an air of charisma and promise, discovers her hidden musical talents. Entranced by the prospect of stepping into the enchanting world of musicians, Lauraine eagerly accepts his offer of guidance. However, as she delves deeper into the labyrinth of the music industry, she begins to unravel the sinister undertones of his intentions. Little does she know that the path she's chosen is not merely a gateway to her dreams but a perilous journey into a realm where passion and deception intertwine, threatening to shatter the delicate harmony of her life. If there was one quote to describe this story, if would most likely be: "I like that we say "Oh man" to express dissappointment. Because men, are in fact, dissapointing." I'll just leave you with that, have fun reading! :)
