Discuss Seance of the Souls here.

I released Seance of the Souls yesterday (10th May) It's the third in my Victorian Gothic horror set. Unlike Mask of the Macabre and Ballet of the Bones it is a novella. Anyway here's the blurb and some links

January 7th 1855

A boy weeps beside the grave of his dead father; his infant sister clings to his leg. It is another pitiless blow for a life already stained with blood.

When all those you hold dear have been taken from you, where do you find solace?

In the arms of the dead, for the living no longer care.

This is novella length and totals approximately, 21,500 words

First review for Seance of the Souls and its a good one!

Five star review for Seance of the Souls.
In this novella length story, Matthew Napier tells of the deaths of his family. He and his sister visit a fortune teller and are given a short but very grim reading. Matthew turns to drink in his despair and the dark alleys and gutters of Victorian London infested by dreary and desperate creatures are very evocatively described. He comes under the insidious influence of members of a spiritualist church and discovers more about his family than ever he suspected.

The author creates a dismal London and gives us a character who is an evil genius. If you’ve read his earlier Victorian horror tales, you will recognise this man. The novella allows us the opportunity to go a little deeper into the main character than the short stories did, and we almost come full circle. I was struck by the fact that although we are dealing with séances and spiritualism, with the supposed terror and pain of the recently dead, the real evil in this story comes straight from the human soul. An atmospheric chiller!

I can report that this a fun read:

Cheers, Michael! And thanks for taking the time to post it everywhere!

No worries :-)

Ken rated it 4 of 5 stars
Cold, calculated and probably insane...that's how I described William Fettiplace and his sister Susanna after reading Ballet of the Bones. After reading Seance of the Souls, I would like to add evil and vengeful. What a horribly nasty pair. Horribly fun to read though
