The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder by Stephen Cox A striking book cover mockup with the title and author name dominating. A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just visible. There are pink highlights on some of the letters. Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.

Older detectives need a young runner to go up drainpipes. Slum-lass Maisie, 14ish; a quarter Indian, a drunken docker father, and two younger siblings to feed. She writes her own future, a lady detective like the great Kate Warne in America. Big main character energy. #booksky

Is the Crooked Medium's Guide to Terror #Gothic?

Strong reasons why people are using the term - but it's also warm funny and engaging...

A quick unpolished video - what's the same in the Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder and what's different.

Same much loved characters investigating a mysterious death, but a bigger, darker and different story. Main characters develop.

Victorian painting of a long haired woman with a pen and document, by a gloomy sea and a rising dark rock behind her. She has an owl behind her. Stern, youngish, thoughtful... she has some enigmatic power and significance (The Seeress by William Stuckleberg)
