These are two novellas about Hugo Barberra and his unique methods and subjects for investigation. In these segments Hugo focuses on the subjects of unexplained murders and unexplained disappearances. It makes for interesting tales. Unlike many writers seeking fans, Hugo does not blame unexplained missing persons on aliens or unexplained deaths on ghosts, but instead, finds logical reasons for deaths or people seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the first installment, "Superstition," it is the accumulation of bodies that causes Hugo to investigate Heddon House. In Ignis Fatuus, it is the lack of bodies that makes the author formulate a bizarre scientific reason bodies actually disappear from the realm of experience and evidence. While his answers cannot always be duplicated to be used in police investigation, they are sufficient enough to satisfy Hugo's own personal curiosity as a writer/television celebrity, who unravels myths and ancient mysteries for his millions of fans worldwide.
