London Underground Nick Connell

Novelist Nick Connell explores the dark depths of a reimagined Victorian London. The year is 1861 and, in a rapidly changing London, the world's first underground railway system is being built but, as they dig, the engineers have unleashed an ancient evil that has sworn to destroy the modern world. The novel tells the story of Rev Fitzroy, a military chaplain and monster hunter, Lily, a telepathic warrior, and their creature tracker: It, a vicious crippled vampire, as they fight to save London from a twisted spectre and its acolytes. London Underground is a dark and exciting tale, combining gothic horror, steam punk, politics, religion and action adventure to create a unique and compelling alternate history.
