Embark on this hilarious Victorian ghost story of a witless young man and a cast of erie locals, with curses, skulls and shin kicking!
An old man languishing in his stately home awaits the arrival of his solicitor to share a tale of golden days... Oh, and the Butler is on fire.
Journalist Thomas Carstairs is absolutely hopeless. He's foppish, foolish and above all totally unqualified to be a writer. Looking for inspiration, Thomas travels to a remote seaside town and immediately has an unceremonious welcome from the locals who see him for the pathetic, talentless toff he undoubtedly is.
What starts as an innocent writing retreat leads to the discovery of a wizened and mysterious skull of terrifying origins. One that has the power to bring Thomas' wildest fortunes into being and to awaken a very formidable foe.. An armoured one.
