Victorian charlatans imperil reality when they unwittingly summon a horror from the void

LONDON, 1891. Elizabeth Whittle and William Grant enjoy scalping London’s bourgeoisie, taking on the personas of grand spiritist Cerulia Trent and her agent to connect the living and the dead. When a detective arrives, sniffing out fraud with a scientifically minded spiritualist society, the duo decides to take one last job before escaping to the continent.

However, their final séance ends horrifically … and soon Lizzie isn’t Lizzie anymore. William, desperate to banish whatever monster they summoned, is soon embroiled in an electrifying eldritch mystery where he makes a deal with the devil to save his friend and stop an even greater evil from transforming the known world.

Jonathan L. Howard is one of my favorite authors, but he seems to do multiple things besides writing. I’ve read almost everything he’s written and a new book is like New Years.

A Victorian Cthulhu novel that does not fall into the easy tropes. Moves along and leaves you waiting for more!

Great voicing by Samuel Roukin who has a real mastery of accents from Mancusan to the Middle East.

Another great novel! Hope to see more soon!

At last! Another Jonathan L. Howard novel!

I’ve been patiently awaiting a new piece from Howard and am not disappointed.

His intimate familiarity with Lovecraftian fiction shines through once again in a new and delightful environment. A wonderful storyteller rewards us for reading his works.

And the title of this review reminds us of the humor we always find in a Howard story.

I’m looking forward to the next installment!!

We also inherited a large quantity of stationary…

I’m sold. Narrator absolutely nails it. Lovecraft has been reimagined in many different eras, but Victorian England is second only to New England 1920-1930s 👍
