A wealthy lawyer, Mr Hans Ridgey, has been poisoned.

There are three main suspects, one of whom might be the culprit for his death.

Mrs Otilia Ridgey (his wife), Miss Eleonor Cunningham (the devoted housemaid) and Mr Paul Hastings (the stockbroker and a long time family friend).  

Will Hercule Poirot manage to get to the bottom of this mystery? 
Or has someone finally committed... The flawless crime? 

- A flash fiction entry piece (word limit of 1,000) for the joint @WattCliches, @NARomance @YARomance contest: "Twist The Clichés!"

Let us destroy the common trope of the Great Detective, who relies on powers of deduction and educated thought to solve heinous crimes, all while giving a new meaning and origin to the cliché.

'If you are reading this then you are Blissfully Unaware of what is Creeping right behind you.'- Unknown. ************************************ "I am not afraid." She said to herself trying to calm her heartbeats. She stood right in front of the dusty glass door. Placing both her hands on it she tried to push the door. For the split of a second she saw a young lady, her hands and face covered in blood, impatiently banging on the door. The wind around her went crazy. She heard random whispers in her head. Rhea was unable to focus on anything around her but the lady. The lady was saying something but for Rhea it felt like some random lips movement. She was scared out of her wits. Then suddenly everything went dead silent. The lady vanished. The whispers and the wind stopped. But then Rhea saw light imprints of blood on the glass door under the dusty layer. ************************************ This book basically contains short horror stories of my own imagination. They may be a bit creepy and weird but that's how the book goes. These stories are short but scary. I hope you'll enjoy them. It's my first book ever so please support it.

Fangs and Fates by BookLover3062

"You don't have to be afraid of me." Werewolves are a danger, a menace, and evil. No one in their right mind would show mercy on a werewolf, a creature who could kill your in an instant, and will. At least, that's what the history books say about werewolves. But no one thinks for a moment it's not true. Raven Nightfang is a werewolf. She's not bloodthirsty, evil, or merciless. She's a normal, wood-dwelling, wolf-shifting girl. One night, she makes the mistake of wandering too far from her den and her mother's watchful eye, and ends up nearly getting killed by hunters after meeting one of them, Viktor. She escapes with his help and ends up accidentally getting taken to the world of Ionicia, the equivalent of werewolf afterlife. There, Dreadea, Goddess of the Moon, reveals that something is threatening humans and werewolves alike, and she and a human are the only ones that can fix it. Together, she and Viktor must work to uncover truths and decipher lies to find out what's really going on and save their species, despite their differences. But can they do it? What if whoever's behind it is still trying to stop them... Cover by @Seong_Grace
