Summary

Eighteen years after the events of A Study in Red, young Jack Reid - nephew of Robert Cavendish - discovers the journal that previously belonged to his uncle.
 
A troubled child with psychological issues, Jack's recent years have been relatively problem-free. But after discovering the mysterious journal, his personality changes overnight, and he soon leaves his home.
 
Soon, a series of gruesome murders similar to the Whitechapel Murders of 1888 start taking place in the seaside resort of Brighton. Detective Inspector Mike Holland and Sergeant George Wright are pulled into a case that will tax their investigative skills to the limit.
 
Who is the man in the strange old house on Abbotsford Road, and does he have a connection to the young Jack Reid? And what is the truth behind the riddle in the Legacy of The Ripper?

    "Dead People's Letters" is a story that should appeal to fans of ghosts and zombies as well as fans of Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic works. It not only places the undead in the middle of 19th-century Russia, but also makes them the central characters of the story and also good friends with one another. "Dead People's Letters" is a complex and layered story that examines:The relationship between the body and the soul and where one leaves off and the other begins.The differing physical and mental natures of men and women.The theme of obsession and being the object of another's obsession.The theme of desperation and deciding what one is willing to do in order to become free of a tormentor. 
    The letters between Ivan Pavelovich and Philippa Pytrovna tell the story of both characters and how, though each is dealing with their own problems, their plight eventually becomes a shared one. They realize only the two of them truly understand each other's situation, and they can only rely on one another for help, guidance, and solace. They also learn it is only through one another that they can escape from their seemingly doomed existence. 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
