Dark things are massing from the remotest corners of the Immaterum, where the realm fractures and merges with other inhospitable regions. These are the lost and insane; demons, spirits and ancient gods without names or worshippers. Something is calling and uniting them with deadly purpose.Because of his close affinity with the Immaterium Professor Abbacus can hear the monsters coming. He has fought them before, back in 1895 when they were united by the Martians. But he can’t understand them or determine their new mission. At his wits’ end he is finally forced to seek help from an old enemy.Meanwhile another blast from his past finally reaches the Nocturnal Academy. This person has been hunting him for decades, following minute clues across the country, but for what purpose? To rekindle an old friendship? Or to kill him for leaving them behind?To fight the approaching evil everyone at the Nocturnal Academy must be on high alert for anything even slightly out of the ordinary. Because even the sweet old folks of the Appleton Seniors Meditation and Tai Chi Group might not be exactly who they appear.

The kitchen at Tally Ho generally looked its best at teno clock in the morning. I ts best is, in this case, a relative term, implying the temporary concealment of the plates, loaves of bread, dirty rubbers, and jampots full of congealed dripping that usually adorned the tables, and the sveeping of out-lying potato-skins and cinders into a chasm beneath the disused hot hearth. When these things had been done, and Bid Sal and her bare feet had been effaced into some outer purlieu, Norry felt that she was ready to receive the Queen of England if necessary, and awaited the ordering of dinner with her dress let down to its full length, a passably clean apron, and an expression of severe and exalted resignation.

Excerpt from The Real Charlotte, Vol. 2 of 3This courtesy-title, the expression of Norry's supremest contempt and triumph, was accompanied by a sudden onslaught with the hearth-brush, but long before it could reach them, the ladies referred to had left the room by the open window.The room was very quiet after Norry had gone away. Francie took the evicted holding of the cats, and fell speedily into a doze induced by the unwonted half glass of whisky. Her early dinner, an unappetising meal of boiled mutton and rice pudding, was but a short interlude in the dullness of the morning; and after it was eaten, a burning tract of afternoon extended itself between her and Mr. Dysart's promised visit. She looked out of the window at the sailing shreds of white cloud high up in the deep blue of the sky, at the fat bees swinging and droning in the purple blossoms of the columbine border, at two kittens playing furiously in the depths of the mignonette bed; and regardless of Charlotte's injunctions about the heat of the sun.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
