The Queensgate Papers - Book 1: The Black Card Murders
Queensgate, 1853. The most glorious city in British America hides a sickness beneath its cobblestones.
Nine murders.
Nine black cards.
And a secret powerful enough to tear the city apart.
When city coroner Doc Galahan and reporter Agnes Grey begin documenting their investigations for The Queensgate Observer, they uncover a web of corruption and sorcery stretching from the glittering halls of power to the shadowed depths of the Tombs.
Each issue becomes another fragment of a forbidden record.
A missing train whose passengers were never found.
A singing corpse in the streets.
A ritual card discovered inside the body of a murdered woman.
As their investigation deepens, the boundaries between science and the supernatural begin to collapse, revealing a truth neither reason nor faith can contain.
Presented as a collection of lost ephemera, illustrated newspapers, and recovered documents, The Queensgate Papers blends Gothic horror, historical mystery, and occult intrigue into a haunting chronicle of a city where the barrier between the natural world and the unseen has begun to tear.
And something ancient is waiting on the other side.
