THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF LORD LIKELY

Astonishing is right!

As the first installment states, Lord Likely is rather f****** amazing.  The stories are bold and joyful to read, as you are taken through the adventures of this Lordly individual and his hapless companion, Botter.

COLD GHOST

Realistically Comical.

No title

Phew!  This story starts off reasonably paced, but by the end, I was totally sucked in and on my seat.  Excellent!  The X-Files wishes it could’ve done paranormal thriller this well.

Special Agent Daphne Worthe is starting her first case with the "Shadow Unit" of the FBI.  Essentially, they deal with [more . . .]

BLACK WREATH

Dark Victorian Adventures

Unlike steampunk tales, where the grave-diggers are henchmen for the mad scientists, this story focuses on the grave-digger himself.  Arthur is a gentleman whose meager inheritance forces him to secretly get a job, so of course he takes up the lucrative and very secretive trade of stealing corpses.
