The Malediction of Lucida Grey
‘A shadow was upon Lucida Grey.’
This is no typical Georgian novel; Lucida Grey is no Austen heroine. She is dark and troubled, playing out the role she is meant to play with difficulty, with scorn for the suitors who try to tame her.
In rural England, Lucida Grey is the heiress of a vast estate and the palatial Hedworth Hall. You will discover Lucida’s world through her account of events. Beware, reader: she holds a terrible secret, and is wrestling with the weight of her guilt.
In an era when witchcraft was thought to have been ‘debunked’, this novel creates a new perspective: something inexplicable by science or nature – a new ‘monster’ for the Gothic genre.

An Artist’s Muse
Finalist in the People’s Book Prize 2021
Meet a new breed of Gothic monster…
Nineteenth-century London. Clara Breslin is earning her keep in her brother’s apothecary. She isn’t interested in married life and spends her free time painting portraits of strangers who walk by her window. Her study is infuriatingly unexceptional – until she meets Matthias Tarasso, an actor.
Watching him perform, she finds herself captivated. Matthias becomes a dominant influence over her and his presence helps Clara create true masterpieces.
But an unseen evil is feeding on the tragedy that blights London’s streets and dwellings.
Clara suffers from horrific nightmares involving disease and fatality when customers of the apothecary grow ill from its remedies. After a suspicious death, Matthias becomes the main suspect. But who is really causing death, fatality and tragedy? Is it Matthias? Or Clara? Perhaps the truth behind the crime is far more insidious and cruel than anyone could have imagined…
