Green Unpleasant Land

Fog shrouded Victorian London, but not the 1888 we'd recognise. There's a whiff of revolution in the air, not to mention lycanthropy in the shires. As Mr Eiffel's tower nears completion in Hyde Park, famed Egyptologist Sir Percy Tiverton returns with his latest find - a nameless book so mysterious not even the Royal College of Alchemists can decipher its runes. Even less chance Alexander Faversham. England's foremost champion of derring-do is not known for his brains. Good job he has loyal manservant Bill by his side - a circumspect fellow who might know more about his master's heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill's entanglement threatens to bring his boss's carefully constructed façade crashing down. There's something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its manuscript back. Who would dare confront the tentacles slithering from the sewers? When the Empire needs a hero, it doesn't always get the one it expects. Green Unpleasant Land. Lovecraftian shenanigans in an alternative Victorian London. Steampunk with added tentacles. Shambling eldritch horrors by gaslight. Gothic/Cosmic Horror/Alternate History
