The Tony & Cassandra Mysteries “THE MYSTERY OF KARMINA SONATA”

by AARON LAMONT

David Darlington · Tony And Cassandra

She’s a witch and he’s a private detective and when they get together it’s magic…

When Karmina Sonata arrives in their office, Tony and Cassandra think it’s just another case. A séance gone wrong, a few violent deaths… Par for the course, if you specialize in the unusual. But what if this is not just another case? What if something else is going on? And what if, just if, their sins are about to find them out? Because for Tony and Cassandra, things will never be the same again…

“Beyond the Grave”

by AARON LAMONT October 2013

DarkShadowsBFP · 38 Beyond The Grave

“Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise again for the difficulties we’ve been having. If you’ll excuse the expression, it seems we have a ghost in the machine…”

40 years ago, the paranormal television show Beyond the Grave broadcast a very special Halloween episode – live from Collinsport, Maine. Presenters Tom Lacey and Kate Ripperton introduced the nation to the legend of ‘Mad Jack’, the local fisherman who had reportedly haunted the town’s cemetery for over six decades.

The terrifying events that followed have become infamous. Suppressed and denied by the authorities, the episode was thought lost forever… until now.

Now, for the first time in forty years, you can hear the true horror of that fateful night in Collinsport… Buy here
