The fire is warm. The house is rich. The chimney is hungry.
London, 1888. The fog tastes of coal and the frost is thick enough to stop a heart. For twelve-year-old Thomas, a masterless chimney sweep with a dying sister, the holiday season isn't a celebration. It is a death sentence.
Desperate for the coin to buy medicine, Thomas accepts a contract at Bentree Manor. The estate is a fortress of Gothic opulence, isolated on the edge of the frozen Heath. Lord Bentree demands the Master Flue be cleared before the Yule Log is lit at midnight, and he pays in gold.
But the chimney at Bentree Manor is not clogged with soot. It is choked with bones.
As Thomas ascends into the suffocating dark, he discovers the terrifying truth behind the manor's eternal warmth. Something ancient lives in the brickwork—a gluttonous entity of fused ash and weeping grease that demands a sacrifice every Christmas Eve. It does not want the wood. It wants the marrow.
Trapped between a rising inferno below and the crushing grip of a monster above, Thomas must do more than just clean the chimney. He must butcher the house from the inside out.
Soot & Marrow is a stand-alone Victorian Horror novella that blends the atmospheric chill of The Woman in Black with the visceral body horror of Clive Barker. Perfect for readers looking for a dark Christmas story with cozy elements.
