Beyond Death - the shorts can index of short stories set in the Beyond Death universe. some will be set before the events of the main story. some will be set in the middle of it. some will come after.

With Shards of Broken Glass Aedan is trying to navigate her new relationship with Jean-Claude while a new series of murders is taking place in St. Louis. add to it the arrival of a secret and ancient vampire group that wants to plunge the world back into chaos and a stubborn half-sister who doesn't want to learn how to control her powers and Aedan has her hands full

Once Upon a Dream Aedan is missing in time and its up to her family and friends to find a way to bring her home.

Beyond Death: A Supplemental: a post filled with pictures to help enable envisioning the costumes Jean Claude chose for everyone to wear at the party. the party takes place over the course of Chapters Thirty Nine, Forty, and Forty One. its a touch graphics heavy, but worth a look because the costumes are gorgeous and i don't feel i did describing them any justice at all.

Another Beyond Death Supplemental: this post lists the music used in scenes involving brother and sister, including links to YouTube videos so that you can listen to the chosen songs. this is the soundtrack that Beyond Death would have. you know, if it had a soundtrack.

a final Beyond Death Supplemental: one last post to show off the gowns worn in the gala even in chapter 82

i will update this with each link as i post the corresponding chapter. hopefully. just to keep it all neat and tidy.
