The Case of Francis Percy Blake by latin_cat

Summary

Post-S.O.S. Météores. February, 1961. An obscure artefact is reported missing from the British Museum, and Francis Blake receives an unexpected inheritance. But as Blake begins digging into his past and Mortimer tries to solve a mystery, both will discover that some branches of family trees spring from very, very twisted roots indeed.
A dark little exploration in honour of Spooky Season, taking a generous dose of inspiration from the Hammer House of Horror series, and my favourite Vincent Price movie, The Haunted Palace.

Whilst preparing to face down a rival, Sharkey takes a liberty and gives Olrik an idea.
Short scenario inspired by Lidensword's fanart over on Instagram.

These drabbles are just some notions I've developed while reading Blake and Mortimer over the years. They're personal, and not terribly serious, but I think they fit the series. If you disagree, please comment!
