Bucholz and the Detectives
The following pages narrate a story of detective experience, which, in many respects, is alike peculiar and interesting, and one which evinces in a marked degree the correctness of one of the cardinal principles of my detective system, viz.: "That crime can and must be detected by the pure and honest heart obtaining a controlling power over that of the criminal."

The Castle of Otranto
The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, and it was indeed the first novel to describe itself by that term. Castle is thus generally credited with initiating the Gothic literary genre, one that would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole is arguably the forerunner of such authors as Charles Robert Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, and Daphne du Maurier.

The Doll's House
From the outside, the house was unremarkable. Just one of many on an ordinary, suburban estate. But inside was a different matter. With pink ribbons and pink walls, stuffed toy animals everywhere and a dining table laid out for a tea party, it was a doll's house. The doll was sitting at the table. Life size, with blonde, pigtailed hair and rosy red cheeks, dressed in her best pink party dress. Her finger and thumb curled round the handle of a fine china teacup. An adult woman. Covered in blood. Eviscerated. Dead. In all his years on the force, DI Phil Brennan of the Major Incident Squad has never encountered a scene like it. As he investigates he uncovers more bizarre revelations and realises that he must act fast; the next murder has already been planned and the victim is close to home ...

The Last New Yorkers
In the decade following its completion in 1909, New York's once-tallest building, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower, suffered a series of unfortunate mishaps. In rapid succession it was exposed to poisonous gases, submerged under twenty thousand feet of water, struck by the tail of a comet, and transported back in time to the pre-Columbian era. Each time, the building somehow emerged intact.

The Price of Existence
Ever since the dawn of mankind, some primal instinct drives us to find proof that we are not alone in this world.
Although billions of people populated the Earth, we still felt alone. We built spaceships and searched on, leaving our home planet. We wanted to see into the distance through the light-years.
But why? What is that longing encoded in our genes that makes us look ever further? Why do we obsessively believe that we cannot possibly be the only sapient civilization in this incomprehensibly big world? After so many disappointments why does our belief still hold, stronger than our life-instincts?
Why are we gazing at the star-studded night sky and ask ourselves again and again – you out there, who we’ve been searching for since time immemorial, which planet do you live on, where should we go?
And what’s next when we find the much-desired answer to these questions?
If those that we’ve been waiting for for so long come to us…will we survive?
The day has come.
The day of the last war.
