The Ghost Finders

Adam McOmber. JournalStone, $16.95 trade paper (198p) ISBN 978-1-950305-81-0

McOmber (Jesus and John) delivers an eerie and inventive supernatural tale set in Edwardian London. Occultist Henry Coxton runs a ghost-hunting business with his colleagues and close friends Violet Asquith, a high-society telekinetic, and Christopher X, a monster of dubious origins. Though the trio has put many specters to rest in the past, their newest job may prove too much for them, pitting them against a secret society whose roots go deeper than any of them could ever suspect. And when Henry, Violet, and Christopher find that they may themselves be linked to an otherworldly entity, it falls on them to stop the downfall of London—and, perhaps, the end of the world. McOmber’s prose is understated and refined, creating an eerie atmosphere that immediately immerses the reader in his intricate, multilayered world. With larger-than-life characters and expertly conjured gritty, gas-lamp ambience, this is a treat for fans of dark historical fantasy and weird fiction alike. [em](June) [/em]
