Story Work

For the stories, I am writing they will take place during the 1930’s like most film noirs do and it will happen before, during and after the film we made.

I have 5 story ideas, each story will have a main plot and a few smaller plots, the 5th story will be teased on the back of the book but nobody will get to see what happens.

The 1st story Origins will have a bunch of shorter stories telling the origins of some characters, a gang war and a crazy criminal and acts as both a prequel to the radio drama I made and will have the most references to the film. A mystery in this story will go unsolved.

The 2nd story Halloween Crimes will be a retelling of the radio drama I made while also continuing the story, the plot is a mysterious killer is on the loose killing unknown people meanwhile the b-plot is that the police force has some young newcomers joining them and we will get to learn about them. There will be a plot twist in this story.

The 3rd story Mystery Teens will be a retelling and continuation of the short story we made about 3 mystery solving teens. It will start with how they became friends, how they found the book, then a retelling of the short films plot and then the aftermath of what happened when they vanished, meanwhile the police force deal with a few random crimes.

The 4th story Ghost Stories will start out with a few normal crimes but suddenly something happens that causes supernatural things to start happening and the police force have to deal with a ghost while trying to solve the ghosts murder. This story will end with a twist and a cliff-hanger.

The 5th story The Eyes of The Owl will be teased on the back of the book but not made, it will be the police force dealing with a conspiracy group that runs the country, it also teases the answer to the unsolved mystery from the 1st story.

The book will have a front cover, a back cover that teases the next story and covers that separate the 4 stories inside the book itself.

Each story cover has a different background depending on the story and a different colour depending on the story, the 1st is blue and pink to represent the rivalry between the main character and his enemy. The 2nd will be orange and yellow to represent it being Halloween. The 3rd will be green and purple the colours of mystery. The 4th will be grey and red to represent horror and ghosts and the back cover is black and white to represent the main antagonists clothing.

The pages will be printed on A3 paper and folded and then stapled to make it into an actual book.
