The Wyvern Street Irregulars continues...

I have gotten some more work done on my Halifax based Occult Novel "The Wyvern Street Irregulars". Chapter Five is not finished and I am currently working on Chapter Six, in which the idea of Murder by Magick is introduced. Yeah, I know, a pretty standard plot-device. This is not meant to be a fantasy-genre novel though so this is based on actual events, albeit events from long ago and far away. A central question faced by the characters is whether there is any actual causal relation between spells intended to kill people and the deaths of those people. Do such spells actually work? How do they work? Surely there must be many cases where they do not work? If they do work what makes the difference in the cases where they did seem to work? As I said, this is not intended as fantasy. Despite the characters' apparent predisposition to believe that magick can work they are not without skepticism and empirical/scientific backgrounds. Obviously we could also be seeing the development of a murder mystery of sorts, but whether or not that is the case you'll have to wait and see. ;)
