Summary
"Silence be Damned" Leo peered up at her, eyebrows raised. "Lydia. What's wrong?" She kept screaming over and over. "You're...you're bleeding.... Lydia felt her hands balling involuntarily into fists, and she felt a new round of screaming building inside her. Leo glanced down at his shirt. His eyes grew as large as dinner plates. "Oh my God....what is that?" This never-before-published narrative is a disturbing, nightmarish tale of a lady named Lydia and her journey through a busy subway train station when things quickly begin to change. Something menacing awaits down there, a monstrous and punishing supernatural force that comes to life, but be warned, this story is not for the faint of heart. "The Exchange" Luke walked up to the girl in the playground and asked, "Why aren't you swinging?" The girl looked at him and said nothing for a minute. He was struck by the darkness of her irises, which were almost impossible to distinguish from her blacker-than-black pupils. He swallowed. He was about to turn away when she said, "I was swinging, but I don't swing anymore." A ghostly tale of a boy that moves to a new house with her mom and sister, his father had recently died. He encounters a small girl in the playground up the street where he lives and then the spine tingling terror begins....

Mystery Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes, Extended Edition
Summary
No fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes. Written by Penny Mae Cartawick, Mystery Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes features five compelling Sherlock Holmes mysteries in one collection: "The Castle Orphans": "How often does he visit you?" added Watson, producing his pipe from his pocket. He searched the same pocket for a match then lit the device. "He visits every week and every few nights. He likes to sneak in the window and take things back to his castle!" The small girl played with the little tiger upon her knee. "The Curse of a Native": Adams had violently slapped Kimilu so hard that the sheer force had floored the waiter, and the usually humble waiter had lost it. He had stood up and angrily talked back at him in his native language, which Adams did not understand. But Butler had lived in Africa for over two decades, and he understood every word. His translation, confirmed by other native workers who witnessed the drama.... "Death in the Tropics of an English Explorer": "And I suppose you expect me to solve the whole case on that information alone? Surely there is something more you can give me," replied Holmes, quickly losing interest in the subject. Mycroft continued, "Suppose I said that it is possible, while studying the lives of an indigenous tribe known as the Koburu, that the great explorer, Sir Hughes Blakefield, was murdered in cold blood, poisoned with his evening scotch." "The Hex of a Gypsy Woman": He raised his disheveled head from his hands. The face was that of my friend, but the expression it bore was unrecognizable. He was indeed out of countenance. "All that I have seen and all that I know, dear fellow, for it to come to this. The great Sherlock Holmes undone by a gypsy woman." "The Heist": "Gentlemen, I am here to represent the interest of Henry Bank and Trust."
