The Gaff
When Bobber and Ketch, two vicious Victorian criminals, opt to rob the London 'gaff' of the weird Professor Feltencaft, they encounter more horror than they could ever have imagined.
To Walk On Thorny Paths
On the eve of the 'Bloodless Revolution', political rivals are marooned together in a snowbound mansion. Soon they are dying one by one, as a nameless, non-human assailant begins to stalk them.
A Plague On Both Your Houses
Colonel Thorpe is the deadliest shot in the British Empire. There isn't an animal alive he hasn't hunted. But even Thorpe is bemused when a young officer recruits him to track down Victorian London's infamous leaping madman, 'Spring-Heeled Jack'.
The Destroyers
After the destruction of Jerusalem in 1099, a band of crusaders crosses the desert in search of the Garden of Eden. Vengeance-seeking Saracens pursue them, along with something else - an indestructible monstrosity formed from the very elements of the Earth.
Colossus
When their cannonball tears into a grassy mound, a Napoleonic gun-crew realise they have opened an ancient barrow. A wealth of treasure and artworks await them inside, but so does a mysterious guardian, who will stop at nothing to protect the secret hoard.
