Summary
In **Judith Vale and the Child of Brackenmere**, occult facilitator Judith Vale is drawn to a mist-shrouded Victorian care home on the edge of the moors, where a disgraced care worker receives a letter from a dead resident and old rumours of a wolf-like feral child begin to surface. Behind sealed doors, failed records, hidden bones, and institutional silence, Judith uncovers the story of Hob, a child misnamed, imprisoned, and erased. As the “people” of the moor gather beneath the moon, Brackenmere House becomes both crime scene and threshold, forcing Judith to distinguish justice from appetite, witness from concealment, and mercy from revenge.

Summary
In **Judith Vale and the Carpet of Masjid Noor**, occult facilitator Judith Vale is called to a West Midlands mosque where an old donated carpet appears to move by itself, unsettle the prayer hall, and exert a strange influence over the imam. What first seems like a haunted textile becomes a deeper mystery of hospitality, possession, sacred space, and a dinner that was never properly concluded. As Judith navigates cultural boundaries with care, her investigation is disrupted by her formidable estranged mother, Ursula Vale, whose stage mediumship exposes an older failure. To end the haunting, Judith must gather witnesses, refuse false guest-right, and turn a cursed object back into ordinary cloth.

Summary
In **Judith Vale and the Red Queen’s Shelf**, occult facilitator Judith Vale is sent by the enigmatic Kincaid to retrieve a book hidden inside a public library, disguised beneath false covers, laminate, category stickers, and civic order. What begins as a search for a missing volume becomes a descent into a hostile realm of shelves, labels, and dangerous classifications, where a sentient book known as the Red Queen turns identity itself into a prison. When Judith disappears, her estranged mother Ursula and Kincaid’s sinister emissary, Ambassador Vey, must confront a living catalogue, a guardian grimace in the LGBTQ+ fiction section, and the terrible question of who gets to name, shelve, preserve, or erase a difficult life.

Summary
In **Judith Vale and the Saint of Plaster**, occult facilitator Judith Vale investigates a cursed student artwork whose cracked plaster body seems to hold the restless spirit of its dead maker. The case pulls Judith back into her university years, when she was still Jude: a severe literature student studying faith, relics, and charged objects under Professor Wolfenstein, while estranged from her formidable medium mother, Ursula. As the truth emerges, the statue is revealed not as a simple haunting but as a prison built from illness, grief, art, and unwanted sainthood. To free the dead girl within, Judith must choose vandalism as mercy.
