What all can happen in just one night...

Perun Hammerfist is a flashy gangster with a reputation for elegance -- and brutality - to uphold.  

While murdering off a debtor, he accidentally drowns in the river that flows through Prague, beginning a nightmarish journey that not only forces him to confront his long repressed past and thrusts him back into the arms of his dead love, but also reveals the too-close-for-comfort connection to his personal nemesis:  Veleček, the elderly gangster who runs the old part of town. 

Set in an alternate 1937, The Vyšehrad Drowned incorporates various figures from Slavic mythology in an atmospheric noir Dieselpunk setting. (Dieselpunk = retro sci-fi set between 1910 and 1950)

The Vampire of Tinkerfall (Elysium #3) by inkwellheart
54 parts Complete
Nothing goes better with tea and crumpets than corpses and monsters. ************ With hardly a moment's rest after the case of the experimental corpses, Trinket and Booker are met with a new mystery: a supposed vampire haunting the streets of Tinkerfall. While Booker's scientific mind refuses to buy into fairy tales, Trinket fears this creature could, in fact, be a ghost. A ghost from her tormented past. Determined to learn the identity of the bloodsucking nightwalker, Trinket throws herself into the path of danger and begins to stir up painful memories from both Elysium and her life before the asylum. As she comes closer to learning the truth, she wonders how much longer she can keep her employer in the dark about her unforgivable sins. Perhaps a man fascinated by vicious monsters might also be able to love one. Or maybe he'll condemn her back to the hell from whence she came. It's JANE EYRE meets FRANKENSTEIN in this YA mystery series with a steampunk flair. Sequel to THE EXPERIMENTAL MURDERS. Bonus short stories: NEVER KICK A PUP and THE INSPECTION. Warning: this story involves mental illness and has scenes depicting anxiety attacks and PTSD, as well as suicidal thoughts.
