9,000 Petals of Insanity
A giant, radioactive octopus roaming through the sea, terrorizing the native population... eight chickens stolen from a locked and securely fastened coop... a lizard-like humanoid, supposedly an extraterrestrial life-form, lurking through town... a poisonous dinosaur slaughtering cattle of farmers... these events appear impossible, and yet they are happening in the New Zealand of 1936. Are these events connected to a series of mysterious letters delivered to the police, written in an unknown language? Are these events connected to a series of seemingly impossible and supernatural serial murders striking fear in the hearts of residents? Or are these events the harbinger of the biblical doomsday of Armageddon? Famed detective Włosclaupeyn Dusang and his friend, biologist Dr. Ephraim St Castle, have to bring logical rationality to these events as they face off against perhaps one of the most devilishly clever criminals in all of history.Concluída
The Boarding House Horror
A much-hated man is found dead, his face twisted into a rictus of horror. Young Inspector Visser can't stand the sight of blood or death, so this case was destined to be a struggle, even before a storm hits. The death occurred in an isolated boarding house on Pluvierstraat, The Hague. Fighting nausea as he examines the body, Visser grudgingly concludes that the death is murder by poison. Which of the motley group of suspects is the killer? The blind woman? The practical jokester? The Italian ex-convict? The English bookie? The scarred railroad engineer? Or could it be the pretty piano teacher? Visser orders them all to stay inside the house as he completes his time-consuming police work. The confinement becomes real when a storm strikes, cutting electricity and telephone. Clues mount and tensions rise, and the murderer among them could kill again. The more clues Visser unravels, the closer he comes to becoming the next victim. ---- I tried to channel Agatha Christie a bit. Okay, more than a bit. This story was longlisted in the 2020 "Open Novella Contest," and won 2nd place in the 2022 Punk Rock Awards, Mystery & Suspense category. Comments welcome!Concluída
