About Marion Pitman
Born in 1955, a Londoner by heritage and inclination, I have been writing as long as I can remember, and have had short fiction and poetry published since 1979. Most of my fiction can loosely be categorised as fantasy / horror / weird. A steady diet of ghost stories and detective stories from an early age may account for a lot. I also sell secondhand books, and briefly edited the magazine Collector's Mart, which someone noted as the best proofread magazine in the field. My first collection, Music in the Bone, is published by Alchemy Press

A unique anthology of two thrones at war as the forces of Hell assault an unsuspecting Victorian Britain.The cry went out to theologians and engineers, to artificers and antiquarians, to every name which could be named. By telegraph where lines were still intact, and by volunteer riders where they were not; smuggled along the coast in fishing smacks, semaphored from hill-tops. It came without royal sanction, issued jointly by the Lords of the Admiralty and Marquess Lansdowne, the new Secretary of State for War:"In God's name, help us. We are losing."

All New Malevolent Mysteries and Perplexing Puzzles where Sherlock Holmes works with Classic and New Occult Detectives
As Carnacki the Ghost Finder, the famous literary occult detective, once said:
“I view all reported ‘hauntings’ as unproven until I have examined into them, and I am bound to admit that ninety-nine cases out of a hundred turn out to be sheer bosh and fancy.”
In these pages, a range of contemporary authors explore 'what happens next' when the Great Detective confronts mysteries which question reason. A summons from Irene Adler’s daughter; a chance encounter with one of Houdini’s fraud investigators; the enigma of Dr John Silence. Mysterious events at Mary Morstan’s old school, and a threat to Queen Victoria. The return of the German agent Von Bork, somewhat changed, and a desperate hunt for a killer through the alleys of London with none other than Professor Van Helsing.
Join us in the second volume of this two-volume anthology as Holmes finds himself working with psychic investigators old and new in pursuit of answers, and must confront his own scepticism. Tales in the traditional style – but with a twist. Can Holmes’s logic work alongside the occult detectives’ willingness to embrace another set of rules entirely? Paranormal – or poppycock?

Stories poised to send you over the edge... He had been looking for sunlight, and there wasn't any. He was much too young to remember before the dust got between the earth and the sun... Beneath the turbid ocean, the kraken slept with one eye open. ...the skin drawn tight on the skull. She smiled, and beckoned to me with a skeletal hand... Sami had a theory: "Speed beyond a certain point isn't natural. It upsets the waves of reality." But when I know - ah, then what shall I know? "(Marion Pitman's) stories are about people who discover that the floorboards of reality are much thinner than they had supposed, and in some cases have been removed altogether." - John Dallman. (Note: approx 55,000 words)
