Magic realism

Aims to convey events in a realistic manner, yet also involving a degree of ‘surreal’ occurrences, or scenes where the laws of ‘everyday reality’ do not apply.

Maximalist

Where the scope of the fiction encompasses a wide spectrum of history and activity, often incorporating specialist knowledge of culture, science or history, and related over a long word-length.

murder

The death of a police officer after 35 years of service.  He died in the  mountains of Wales where he had lived all his life.  He had been chasing one man for over 10 years. He knew he had killed three people and he was trying to stop the death of one more young Lady as he did call all young girls.

The first death took place in 1959, a young girl did work in an office at  the mine pit head at the top of the valley, she had been working there   for the last two years since she did leave school.  When she did go   missing the whole valley did turn out the next morning to walk the hills and mountains look for her.  She had vanished into the mists and clouds of the hills never to be found for the next four years.  

The strange thing was when she was found she still had all her clothes on, the same from the first day she did go missing.
