Inhaltsangabe

In an England of gaslight and fog, the knights of the Order of Saint Veyr do not sicken and do not age. Each keeps the same small ritual - a physic taken at dawn, a finger of something colourless let down into a glass of water - and each has learned the one art the long life requires: not to ask what he is drinking. Sir Alistair Vale has kept that silence for a lifetime. Then the Order sends him north to Wychmere, a hall the marsh has half swallowed, with a single written instruction: do not take the physic before you go down. At the foot of a long stair, behind an iron grille, something has been kept for four hundred years. It knows his name. It has grieved his family since before he was born. And it will tell him, gently, without cruelty, exactly what he has raised to his lips every morning of his life. Some truths cannot be swallowed twice.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ian Ashcroft writes gothic and cosmic horror with a literary heart. Not the kind that relies on shocks and gore, but the kind that works slowly - stories where the dread comes from what people fail to say to one another, and from the sense that something vast and patient is waiting just past the edge of understanding. He is drawn to the quiet terrors: the things left unsaid, the doors we keep shut to feel safe, the truths we save for a better morning, and the strange places love can be kept when it isn't spoken aloud.
