We Used Dark Forces: A Whitsuntide Science Adventure (Whitsuntide Science Adventures)

A hilarious horror novel of perverted science and creeping nastiness. Perhaps the world’s first WWII science fiction horror comedy whodunit, WE USED DARK FORCES is a riotous, savage and ridiculous mystery, set in a top-top-top secret WWII scientific research unit known as Arcane Experiments Imaginable Or Unimaginable (A.E.I.O.U.). A group of variously mad scientists are based at Urchless Castle in the highlands of Scotland, using high-tech seances in an attempt to contact beings from beyond to help with the war effort. But when Person or Persons or Things Unknown start fatally scrambling the eggheads, a Scotland Yard detective is sent to investigate.Inspector Graham There is chosen for his singular lack of attributes: the top brass feel that, since There is so undistinguished that people tend to be unaware of his very presence, he will be the ideal man to root out rotten eggs without ruffling feathers.As the hour of the next seance approaches, Inspector There comes to believe that solving the murders must come second to preventing an all-out invasion of earth by the so-called “Allies” from beyond. Can Inspector There save the world, or would that be exceeding his authority? Who is killing the mad scientists of the A.E.I.O.U.? Why is there a dog? And what deviant scheme dances through the mind of the man known only as... Whitsuntide?
