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!Complete

What if you had nine lives to get it right? Sebastian Blake, a veteran of the foster care system and isolated genius, is weary of a cruel world where crime goes unpunished. So he hunts serial killers in his spare time, picking out details the police over look. And now the trap is set.

He's three false identities deep and he has no intention of going back behind bars. A masked vigilante by night, he spends his days learning to assimilate to society while hiding his real identity, a sociopathic killer who avenges the weak by mercilessly executing criminals. There's no way anyone will see through his clever disguises, will they? Basically I wrote this because I wanted it to feel like a Netflix original series you become emotionally invested in, binge until two am on a Saturday, then try to convince people to watch because it wasn't necessarily the greatest thing out there, but it was definitely decently clean good fun. Trigger/Content Warning: Violence, teenage characters discuss former trauma to include sexual assault. This is brief. Some on page brief violence. Some brief teenage sexuality.Complete
