    About this ebook

    When Nathan Monatgue Porter, occultist and civil servant, catches the attention of Sir Jack Sauvant, he is invited to Sir Jack's Sussex country house to attempt some grisly magical experiments. Little does he know that it is Sir Jack's maid, Deirdre Wend, who actually holds the key to forbidden knowledge - but she won't give it up unless he takes her to the pictures first. 

     

    A Lovecraftian pastiche for fans of Clive Barker and Ray Bradbury, a standalone prequel to The Crows.

      Dec 12, 2019

      The Lightning Thread

      Sep 1, 2021

      The Lodge was a Victorian shooting box of minimal architectural distinction, belonging perhaps to the psychiatric baronial school. Its heavy, irregular exterior was set off by monkey puzzle trees, a mossy lawn and an embattled garden. The household w
