In the oldest part of the City lies the 20th Precinct. It's a strange place... dead strange. All murders in Precinct 20 are weird. The area seems to exist on top of a crack in reality, where nightmares seep out... and people fall in. In this unsettling, slowly decaying district, nicknamed "the place where careers go to die," Innis Garris is the one detective on the Precinct 20 Homicide squad who tries to solve any murder mystery... no matter how impossible or insane. But the answers he finds cannot be filed in an official report or be delivered with the impeccable logic of an "ordinary" detective. He works in a permanent twilight zone which is slowly pushing his keen mind to the edge of reason. Welcome to the 20th... The short fiction collection PRECINCT 20: DEAD STRANGE contains material which has previously been published on Wattpad, plus several original stories. A. R. Yngve is a Swedish author and illustrator. His short fiction has been published in the UK, the U.S., and China, and his short story "Quadrillennium" appeared in the acclaimed anthology WAITING FOR THE MACHINES TO FALL ASLEEP (Affront Publishing, 2015).

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating Sci-Fi
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
PRECINCT 20:DEAD STRANGE is an incredible Sci-Fi novel and Detective story more based on real life than you would imagine.

The science fiction is excellent and includes fantastic tales of biogenetically enhanced Apes scaling skyscrapers trained as perfect Marksmen in inner Cities. Occult occurrences and mystical runes in Iceland and Scandinavia, and also right below the Cities.

Real life extremes in law-enforcement bleed through the novel repeatedly, making it an excellent read for adults and children, with an emphasis on parents explaining the concepts.

Police GhB Love Potion Number 9 is well covered as are newer threats from Microwave Oven weapons like Active Denial System and participating Dr's and Security agencies who get rich using these weapons to prey on people to harvest drg medical dollars.

Drugs to wipe memories of traumatic experiences to cover up for bad law-enforcement and good Officers coerced to protect bad Officers that abuse people are also topics covered.

I was recruited as a DOH Agent and protected other Agents and Police Officers with mandatory medical care in the 5 boroughs of NYC. We had zero tolerance for anyone spreading Epidemics including Agents and Police because we can't fight Epidemics otherwise.

GhB poisoning and Microwave poisoning are a new class of "typhoid-Mary" epidemics spread by hand. The misguided "3 AM all-about-control" Punisher cult is also covered in the book using these new weapons in our inner cities and in Hospitals in partnership with bad Dr's like in the movie Time Cop.

My advice as a former DOH Agent is to read this book with your children for education via gamification; it's entertaining, like a game. Play some of the authors classic Video game titles for additional education thru gamification. He's been writing classic video games for 35 years.

Advice for warding off "typhoid-Mary" opportunists:
Purchase an HD infrared camera, this can capture "lightning bolts" from the magnetrons used in this new weapon class that can go through walls and right into homes.

There are youtube videos showing how to turn the Magnetron in a microwave oven into a microwave Gun so bad law-enforcement from Precinct 20 are not the only folks parents need to watch out for Today.

PRECINCT 20: DEAD STRANGE
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

Wow! When I first opened PRECINCT 20: DEAD STRANGE I did not quite know what I was getting into. This book was like Crypt Keeper meets X-Files. A. R. Yngve took me on a journey I will never forget. This collection of short stories had my stomach in knots, as I did not know where each story was leading me. Detective Innis Garris solves murders for Precinct 20, however these aren't your typical mysteries. These tales will leave your imagination to play games in your mind. I can honestly say I was blindsided in every short story. I would recommend this to book lovers who enjoy Science Fiction Horror with a twist of funky! I enjoy a good book without any limitations.
**side note - this book gave me the weirdest dreams***

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018
WOW! What an awesome book! A.R. Yngve's characters are full of life and seem to leap right off the page.An American homicide detective in a big city that could even be the one YOU live in, Innis Garris is a great detective of the unique and supernatural, who cares about people. He and his partner, Sergeant Bolland are willing to go above and beyond the ordinary to protect those they've sworn to protect in a truly selfless fashion that is refreshing in a world full of detectives who like the spotlight overly much. The stories are like the old radio serials, which is a great fit for the vintage fever happening in speculative fiction right now! Classier than some of the old pulps, but with the same cliffhanger suspense that will keep you turning pages until long past midnight. The vintage photos of American cities are the icing on the cake for this beauty that shines with a strange unearthly light. Do you like Sherlock Holmes, H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, Kolchak The Night Stalker, The Shadow, and old school crime fiction minus the bs and braggadocio? Then I guarantee that you will LOVE THIS BOOK! Nearly 300 pages packed with stories that include secret tunnels below ancient city streets, witch doctors, a beautiful nightclub that deifies reason, a priest that deals out more than prayers, and prides of carnivorous felines that terrorize city streets. That's just a taste of what you'll get in PRECINCT 20: DEAD STRANGE. Keep your eyes and ears open, stay alert, and prepare to believe the unbelievable...Welcome to the 20th!
