Inhaltsangabe

Trust the Mystery

The Speculative Detective Agency is a global organization of agents confronting cases that defy conventional logic: haunted environments that resist documentation; a Bloody Mary sighting at an elementary school; half a demon terrorizing a neighborhood; and an office staffed entirely by functional zombies. Released to the public for the first time, these cases create a mosaic of strange investigations filled with monsters, myths, and personal mysteries reflecting our fractured yet shared global reality where borders blur, consequences ripple, and no story exists in isolation.

Acclaimed sci-fi/fantasy, crime fiction, and horror writers have been commissioned to contribute, including Scott Adlerberg, Frederick Aldama, Heather E. Ash, Megan Chee, Victor De Anda, Alex Grecian, Alex Hernandez, Monique Laban, Lincoln Michel, Richie Narvaez, Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos, Nadia Amina Rabbani, Karlo Yeager Rodriguez, Lekha Sen, Amber Sparks, and Martin Willis.
