About this series
Book Four of the Carnacki Continuum. Three years after going missing in Putney, the famous ghostfinder Thomas Carnacki has been found in an abandoned London underground station. He has been found in one of hundreds of huge seed pods, a nursery of interdimensional invaders. Sir Barnard Buxton has been in charge up to this point, but there are people more important than him - politicians, military men, and fellow scientists. Over the next eighteen hours they gather below King William Street, in the heart of the City of London.
When Carnacki learns what they intend to do he knows he has to act. The establishment VIPs don';t understand. They are risking apocalypse. He makes his way across London. We get an insight into what it is like to be a seer of ghosts in a city decimated by war and the Spanish Flu. Crowds, living and dead, block his way to the abandoned tube station. Will he get through in time?
Titles in the series (4)
- Carnacki: The Saiitii Manifestation
1
Based on characters created by the legendary pioneer of supernatural horror William Hope Hodgson, this short story speculates what might have happened to the ghost-finder and his circle during World War I. In 1919 they meet again after the better part of five years - well, all bar one.
- Carnacki: The Relict
2
A direct continuation of The Saiitii Manifestation, The Relict begins with those left behind by the weird events in Putney. Life is especially hard for the family of Percy Jessop, who cannot access his wealth until either his body is found or seven years have elapsed since his disappearance. Then Mrs Jessop receives an invitation signed 'M Carnacki'. If she or her representative can attend the former Carnacki residence in Cheyne Walk Chelsea they might hear something to their advantage. Mrs Jessop, naturally, can't go - she has her invalid daughter to attend to. But her younger daughters go. On Cheyne Walk they meet the son of Reggie Arkright, who also vanished that night in Putney. In the top floor flat they meet the Relict. And then ... and then the portal opens on an occult infestation and the evening gets weirder and weirder. Included with the story is The Bronze Medal, the first of three scenes from the short life of William Hope Hodgson, creator of Carnacki the Ghostfinder.
- The Fourth Sigil
The third instalment of the Carnacki Continuum. After a night of shocks and surprises, the Jessop sisters call in the professionals - the discredited inventor Sir Barnard Buxton and Lorne's friend from the Psycho-Analytic Society, the enigmatic Dr John. They set out to hunt down the inter-dimensional creatures which have passed through the portal - only to lose the bizarre creature who calls himself Sigil along the way. They find him, eventually, in the abandoned underground station in King William Street. They find more - much more - than they bargained for.
