  The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a gripping Sherlock Holmes mystery first published in 1926. Told uniquely from Holmes’s own perspective, this case explores themes of loyalty, secrecy, and the lingering effects of war. When a worried friend seeks Holmes’s help in finding a mysteriously vanished man who returned from the Boer War “blanched” and reclusive, the detective uncovers a tale of hidden suffering, family tension, and a shocking revelation. With Doyle’s trademark wit and deductive brilliance, this lesser-known gem showcases a more introspective Holmes and delivers a powerful exploration of human courage and empathy beneath the veneer of mystery.

  Minnesota, 1970s: A snowmelt has sent floodwaters down to the fields of the Red River Valley, dragging the body of an unidentified Native woman into the town of Ada. The only evidence the medical examiner recovers is a torn piece of paper inside her bra: a hymn written in English and Ojibwe. 
   
  Cash Blackbear, a 19-year-old, tough-as-nails Ojibwe woman, sometimes uses her special abilities to help Sheriff Wheaton, her guardian, with his investigations.  
   
  When Cash sees the hymn, she knows her search for justice for this anonymous victim will lead her somewhere she hasn’t been in over a decade: the White Earth Reservation, a place she once called home. 
   
  When Cash happens upon two small graves in the yard of a rural, “speak-intongues kinda church,” she is pulled into the lives of the pastor and his wife while yet another Native woman turns up dead and her newborn is nowhere to be found.

  Some secrets should stay buried. 
  When renowned architect Arania Webb returns to Bristol Zoo — once her childhood sanctuary but now a derelict ruin — she discovers her late father’s hidden underground lab, which harbours a dark obsession. 
  Inside, she uncovers his journals documenting twisted experiments to fuse arachnid DNA with humans, creating unnatural creatures that blur the line between species. As Arania descends into the shadowy depths and explores further, she realises the terrifying extent of her beloved father’s attempts to play god. 
  With demolition charges set to raze the derelict zoo in minutes, Arania has little time to process the ethical transgression and madness that drove her father down an unholy path before the truth is buried forever. 
  But when the site manager stumbles upon her macabre discovery, Arania knows she must act swiftly to protect her family’s legacy — and her own future. 
  Will she find a way to escape the ruins with her father’s monstrous secrets? Or will the horrors hidden beneath the zoo ultimately consume them both? 
  In this short story, J.F. Penn weaves a tale of dark secrets, genetic aberration, and a legacy that blurs the lines between ethical transgression and scientific ambition, a narrative that is as much about the inner darkness of human nature as it is about the monsters we create.
