Mr. Bouragner Felpz is a curious gentleman. “Magician’s Consultant,” according to his card, his practice takes him to places both fantastical and sinister as he untangles magical mysteries. And where he goes, his ward and reluctant biographer Miss Corianne Birch is often obliged to follow. Set in a time and place not far from late Victorian England—but in a world where magic is very, very real—The Crimson Stair is the second story in the Adventures of Bouragner Felpz.

Episode 2:2: The Crimson Stair
The Author Says:
One of the joys of my profession is going through history with a fine toothed comb and picking out the little mysteries that were never big enough or important enough to be solved, and fabricating fantastical solutions for them. The Crimson Stair was originally inspired by events that occurred during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England concerning the death of Robert Dudley’s wife. Though the circumstances have been drastically altered, and the regal connection virtually eliminated, the original fundamentals of the idea remain. I also used as inspiration a staple from Greek Mythology, under the reasoning that what was considered a good idea there and then would still be a good idea in a different place and time… even if the results were less than satisfactory.
