Cass Corridor.

Steeped in culture and history… a place where
countless visionaries have emerged and gone
forth into the world.

A place now in danger of acquiring an unwanted
type of fame. A mysterious serial killer is wandering
its streets, with a modus operandi that has left
authorities baffled.

After a brief, bizarre encounter with this killer, a
young journalist with a fascination for the paranormal
is determined to know the true nature of what she
has witnessed. This desire takes her on a spinning,
swirling journey of discovery.

A spiral dance.

A dance of revelation.

The unknown.

What does that term conjure up for you?

I ask because it’s not the same for everyone. When faced with the unknown, the imagination can dream up wonderful things. Also, terrible things.

Which is why some fear the unknown, while others embrace it. A person’s reaction to the unknown can determine all sorts of things. The direction of a life. What to order for dinner. The fate of a civilization. What channel to watch. It can bring about peace, or start a war.

“The Secret of Cass Corridor”, the first tale in the Twilight Lady series, explores how different people react differently to the unknown… as well as the ripple effect of these reactions in their own lives and the lives of others. A woman who encounters a strange puzzle chooses to explore it, knowing it could lead her down a dangerous path. The ghost of a dead man, when offered a clean slate, wants nothing but to cling to the remnants of his troubled existence. A man with the gift of seeing into other realms chooses to fix his sight within the boundaries imposed by his beliefs.

And you. How will you react to the story that’s about to unfold?

I eagerly await finding out…

Confused? Just what did Rona stumble upon in the pages above? As they used to say in the old Marvel comics, “fret not, true believer… all will be made clear”.

By the end of “The Secret of Cass Corridor” (we’re currently at Chapter 6 of 8), we’ll find out what’s actually happening in this scene, when it took place, and who these people are. (Hint: you’ve already met some of them.)

So that’s it. Now you know ”The Secret of Cass Corridor”. I’ve found it quite a challenge getting people to check out this comic without revealing… the secret. So will you, no doubt. But all the same, any efforts to spread the word are highly appreciated!

And don’t miss the next tale in the Twilight Lady series, “The Realm in the Middle”, where the Nameless Lady in the Hood takes journalist and truth-seeker Rona Eden on a strange and personal astral journey. Will Rona gain the knowledge she seeks… or end up the latest victim of the Cass Killer? Find out… starting tomorrow.
