Note: WorldCat: "In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read." It is unclear how many of these stories are genre. Several of them appear to include "apparent supernatural" behavior, which is cleared up when the mystery is resolved.
