As the fog thickens and the smoky dark sweeps across the capital,
strange stories emerge from all over the city. A jilted lover returns as
a demon to fulfill his revenge in Kensington, and a seance becomes a
life and death struggle off Regents Canal. In the borough of Lambeth,
stay clear of the Old House in Vauxhall Walk and be careful up in Temple
- there's something not right about the doleful, droning hum of the
telegram wires overhead...
Join Elizabeth Dearnley on this
atmospheric tour through the Big Smoke, a city which has long fuelled
the imagination of writers of the weird and supernormal. Waiting in the
shadowy streets are tales from writers such as Charlotte Riddell, Lettie
Galbraith and Violet Hunt, who delight in twisting the urban myths and
folk stories of the city into pieces of masterful suspense and intrigue.
This collection will feature a map motif and notes before each story,
giving readers the real-world context for these hauntings and
encounters, and allowing the modern reader to seek out the sites
themselves - should they dare...
