An uncle shares a ghostly campfire story of love and loss. A female Sherlock chases a killer through the streets of modern day London. A grisly murder shocks a lonely Southern town. A girl launches a quest to understand the meaning of her grandmother's dying words. A series of bizarre crimes brings a strange, otherworldly detective to the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle, these stories grapple with themes of life and death, madness and sanity, light and darkness, and the constant search for understanding in a chaotic world. This project was completed as part of a creative fellowship offered through the Watkinson Special Collections library at Trinity College.
