In this story I came up with which is an homage to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, in Victorian London, a nobleman, Lord Charleston, suffers the loss of his wife, Lenore, whose body was found with her heart gouged out. One late night, Charleston is visited by a talking raven who happens to be an old colleague of his, Thaddeus, who has been cursed to be a raven and can only speak when spoken to. The bird claims he is in danger. Detective Mallory from America arrives to solve the murder cases of Lenore and other victims. Charleston, Thaddeus and Mallory set out to solve the gothic mystery. Charleston confronts his old friend, Lord Vincent (who is having a masquerade ball in a few days) and accuses him of killing Lenore as a way of getting back at him since they rivaled for her affection years earlier. He claims he's innocent.
