The Creeping Darkness, or, How a Well-Behaved Gentlewoman Found Herself Besieged by the Hidden Supernatural Terrors that Stalk the Streets of London
Miss Charlotte Penny prided herself in her ability to maintain the image of a proper lady. Her stitches were even and neat, she rarely spoke out of turn, and she only read scandalous novels when no one else was looking.
When she discovers another world that lurks beneath the understanding of common man, and she is met with the tragic conclusion that no amount of good behavior protects one from the horrors that lurk there. Monsters exist, and worse yet, her own fate is now uncertain as she becomes inexorably tied to an undead ruffian.
Will she become embroiled in scandal, ruining her reputation? Will she even escape with her life?
