Step into the past in this spine-tingling historical adventure from award-winning author Christopher Edge.
"A writer of genuine originality" - Guardian
Penelope Tredwell is the feisty thirteen-year-old orphan heiress of the bestselling magazine, The Penny Dreadful. Her masterly tales of the macabre are gripping Victorian Britain, even if no one knows she's the author.
One day a mysterious filmmaker approaches The Penny Dreadful with a proposal to turn their sinister stories into motion pictures. Filming begins but is plagued by a series of strange and frightening events. As Penelope is drawn into the mysteries surrounding the filming she soon finds herself trapped in a nightmare penned by her own hand...
Can Penny uncover the filmmaker's dark secret before it's too late?
A suspenseful historical adventure series with a supernatural twist!
