Moments later, something bulky splashes into the swift black waters. One man returns to the pub's car park and drives into the murky English night. The river should have swept the body to the depths of the sea, but it did not.

Everyone in Ashford stays out of Red Cap Woods and avoids the megaliths called the Goblins' Playground.

After all, he took up residence in that abandoned caravan deep in the heart of darkness, didn't he? And everyone nods knowingly when Oscar Lent is murdered in the shad...

Some in Midriven Village claim schoolgirl Lisa Martin ran off with a boy, but most know she strayed too close to Robbers Wood, perhaps even went in, the silly thing, and got took by the Beast.

The detectives themselves might perish. After all, this is Hammershire County, where change comes slow...

Now, Mars is dry, dusty and lifeless, but it was not always so. Long ago, maritime empires throve on a wetter, warmer Mars, a Mars of vast oceans and splendid cities.

In others, experience the quantum realm and our even more absurdist modern world.

In London verschwinden Menschen. Die Nächte verbreiten überall Angst und Schrecken, niemand fühlt sich mehr sicher. Man erzählt sich in den Straßen von Geistern, welche die Menschen entführen. Als Sherlock Holmes durch H. G. Wells einen zurückkehrenden Zeitreisenden aufspürt, vermutet er einen Zusammenhang mit den Morden und ist der grausamen Wahrheit damit bereits sehr nah.

Things change, however, when a campaign is started by FOG (the Friends of Ghosts) to make Little Wyvern a premium tourist desti...

At times, those eldritch entities reach from the past into the present, looming over us like a shadow out of time. Few can counter the horror of their presence with cold logic, with nerves that will not snap, with the adaptive cunning needed to survive when reality seems subsumed by madness. Sherlock Holmes is such a man. In these stories, related from va...
