4.9/5 (34739 ratings)

Description:Perhaps the world’s first WWII science fiction horror comedy whodunit, We Used Dark Forces is a riotous, savage and ridiculous mystery, concerning a top-top-top secret WWII scientific research unit known as Arcane Experiments Imaginable Or Unimaginable (A.E.I.O.U.).A group of variously mad scientists are based at Urchless Castle in the highlands of Scotland, using high-tech seances in an attempt to contact beings from beyond to help with the war effort. But when Person or Persons or Things Unknown start fatally scrambling the eggheads, a Scotland Yard detective is sent to investigate.Inspector Graham There is chosen for his singular lack of attributes: the top brass feel that, since There is so undistinguished that people tend to be unaware of his very presence, he will be the ideal man to root out rotten eggs without ruffling feathers.But despite the assurances of the Urchless Group Leader, frosty Dr. Enid Cannula, that none of her scientists possesses the capacity for murder, almost all the assembled geniuses have histories of violence, depravity or insanity.Professor 'Binky' Damson-Rolfe, a malign little person whose Dimensional Transmogrifier seems to be merely a very large instrument for killing mice, has feuded with all the victims, and everyone else he’s ever met.Prof. Zalewski, a Polish mute, is the sole survivor of an ill-fated Peruvian expedition who may well have killed and eaten his fellow expeditioneers, but can’t remember.The foul-mouthed Dr. Stagmantle once slaughtered thirty-seven people during a fit of supposedly temporary insanity prompted by his wife jilting him in favour of Old Royal Navy College (objectophilia is a real condition and one shouldn’t make light of it).And then there’s Enzo McWheattie, linguist, a brilliant man in his field but a blithering imbecile anywhere else, and Whitsuntide, a young genius of startling beauty and brilliance and questionable allegiances, and a self-professed expert in “perverted science.”Inspector There has barely unpacked when another scientist is murdered. All the crimes involve impossible bodily distortions, and most occur in locked rooms or at times when everyone has an alibi.As the hour of the next seance approaches, Inspector There comes to believe that solving the murders must come second to preventing an all-out invasion of earth by the so-called 'Allies' from beyond. His attempts to save the world bring him into conflict with the Urchless Group.Can Inspector There save the world, or would that be exceeding his authority? Who is killing the mad scientists of the A.E.I.O.U.? Why is there a dog? And what deviant scheme dances through the mind of the man known only as Whitsuntide?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
