Postscript

Well this week has proven fruitful in a number of ways. In the vicinity of about six weeks ago, we shared a sneak peek at the next tale to come out of our gift shop—The Odds ‘n’ Endings Boutique—titled Body Count. The entire draft of the prologue is available for your reading displeasure at the link provided. The tale has taken a number of divergent causeways in its development, and finally, a time period of origin has been firmly decided upon: Victorian London. Ah, the age of gas lamps, corsets, and of course, so much fucking murder.

Body Count: Vignettes will lead us on a bloody trail from where our heroine begins her journey in the Victorian London of the tale to where we first see her in the prologue of that same tale. It will be a fantastical journey of sorrow, woe, fear, greed, hunger, and vice!
