    About this ebook

    In the third installment of Robert McGough's thrilling "Clockwork and Horror" series, follow along the adventures of Colonel Gurthwait on his quest to bring down the most fell creatures the world has to offer. This collection of short stories takes you to fearsome jungles and beneath the seas, from the decks of skyships to dark, haunted forests. Mixing the lore of Victorian explorers and hunters with the trappings of steampunk fantasy, each tale edges you closer to uncovering the mystery of just who is pulling the Colonel's strings?
