Samuel Roukin
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.

enjoyable chthonic detective story

it's genuinely hard to find a good book that emulates the style of writing to the age of 'lovecraftian' horror, with better handling and nuance than your average 19th century penny dreadful. (which is to say- not racist or egregiously sexist.)
Cheers to a good listen, the performance is, of course, flawless.

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!!

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!

Overall the storyline was just OK, a little too linear perhaps, but engaging enough for a stand alone story. I felt the character development was lacking, again perhaps as the intention of the book seems to have been as a standalone.
There’s an interesting interview at paulsemel.com about how this book came about, which answers a few questions for me. Worth a look.
I’ll no doubt have a re-listen of this story in a few months but can’t see me adding it to my “regular rotation”
In summary, not his best work, but doesn’t diminish in any way the esteem I hold him in as an author.
Not a bad introduction to this author but his other works are much better. Try them.
