Description
to a celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee,
June 1897
Jekyll is a man with a horrible, guilty secret. The results of the sinister experiments he conducts in the basement of Westwych House, the Jekylls' country home in Somerset, are known only to a handful of people. All his family ever see is a dedicated scientist. All his servants ever hear are screams in the dead of night.
As guests gather for a genteel weekend, a web of events entangles a young historian in local legends of monsters and werewolves, and Frederick Jekyll's nightmare past prepares to wreak bloody revenge on everyone present at Westwych House.
The House Of All Sorrows is a gothic chiller weaving elements of classics by Robert Louis Stevenson and H.G.Wells into a grisly, emotive story about eco-ethics and the endurance of love.

Following a series of bizarre adventures he now lives in the UK, at Keynsham in Bristol, although he spends most of his time in a world of his own. He's the author of the award-winning gothic chiller The Workshop of Filthy Creation, the highly acclaimed cosmic horror/urban crime novel The Burn Street Haunting, and, under his real name Simon Cheshire, the contemporary horror novel Flesh & Blood.
