Killer Queen and Deep End (殺人妃とディープエンド) and Killer Device and Never End
(殺人器とネバーエンド) are two short stories written by Kamachi Kazuma (鎌池 和馬)
and illustrated by Haimura Kiyotaka (はいむらきよたか). Kamachi Kazuma is also
known for several other light novel series, most notably the Toaru Majutsu no Index series.
Both short stories both take place in a world where people known as
Killer Demons have each mastered a specific form of killing. Each story
follows a different character's encounter with one of those Killer
Demons.
Killer Queen and Deep End was originally submitted for but did
not win a Dengeki contest before Toaru Majutsu no Index was published.
It was later published in 2004 in response to Index's popularity. Killer
Device and Never End was written and published in 2005 due to the
popularity of the first story.
