Penny Dread Tales Volume IV explores the darker side of steampunk, where demons reign and the human spirit can be as unwholesome and unholy as your worst nightmare. Immerse yourself in this tome of light and darkness. Revel in the triumphs of adventurous heroes and despair in the maleficence of heartless villains, human and inhuman alike. These short stories will take you across the globe and across dimensions. You will find yourself soaring through the skies over America and Europe. You will visit the seedy underside of Seattle, the dusty plains of the southwest, and the great savannahs of darkest Africa. Within these pages are ghosts, demons, and the undead seeking to take your very soul. Necromancers feed upon the blood of the innocent. Murderers and thieves abound, and the line between good and evil blurs to nonexistence. Limitless worlds and landscapes lay within in this latest installment of Penny Dread Tales ... for it is truly Perfidious and Paranormal Punkery of Steam.

My name is Noel R Glass and I’m not your average gumshoe. What I am is a pariah from the theoretical physics game; a former wunderkind who watched his future dissolve like the victims of my failed experiment. Years later, I’m finally putting my intellect to work solving crimes with science, not instinct. Well, mostly. Instinct told me the angelic damsel in a black dress who walked into my office was bad news. What made it worse is she admitted to possibly killing her husband, millionaire mercantile maverick Marlin Black. Now I have to find Mr. Black, or his corpse, before the cops do. Otherwise, they won’t look beyond the bedroom eyes of his gorgeous widow. I know different. It’s not just a hunch, but the science of the bullet that took down Black doesn’t add up. What type of bullet doesn’t leave a powder trace… Even my genius brain might need help on this one. Who can I turn to? Certainly not the Widow Black or any of Marlin’s associates. They’ve all got motives. No. The type of assistance I need comes in the form of a Japanese gangster with a Chinese Name. But if Wan Lee helps me this time, what will he ask of me next time? Damn those dames singing the “Save Me” blues. Why aren’t I smart enough to just walk away? The long-awaited novella prequel to "She Murdered Me with Science," the sci-fi/noir novel that launched David Boop's career. In conjunction with the re-release of SMMS, David reveals the first case that scientist turned detective Noel R. Glass worked with his eventual partner, Wan Lee. With illustrations by noir artist Jay Peteranetz, this story has been hidden for years. Now discover the missing mystery that is "A Whisper to a Scheme!"
