The Beak of Gehenna: a Plague Doctor’s Horror, Nun’s Last Fight for Humanity

The cure is absolute. The cost is your humanity. Defrocked Sister Mary washes the dead in the Aldgate plague pit, fighting to preserve dignity amidst the sulfurous fog. But a terrifying silhouette watches from the ridge: Dr. William Weaver, a surgeon whose mask has fused with his flesh into a chitinous, insectoid shell. Viewing the human body as a flawed machine, Weaver ascends to treat the "failures of the flesh." As a sentient yellow miasma seals London's doom, Mary finds herself trapped in a dying city where the Doctor moves like a dark antibody, and his gruesome surgery is mandatory. The Doctor is making his rounds. Perfect for fans of Clive Barker, H.P. Lovecraft, *The Alienist*, and Edgar Allan Poe. - From the author of Stairway to Darkness and many more.
