Soot And Steel

Sinister tales, ghost stories, thrillers and vignettes that reach back as far as the Victorian era, all steeped in the essence of London's urban community, its industrial heritage, the docks, Victoriana, the Blitz and the War. Nine original stories and seven classic reprints that explore the capital's dark underbelly but also celebrate its character and charm.

Sixteen stories, one city. Welcome to London as you've never seen her before.
