1890. Peu avant Noël, Sherlock Holmes et John Watson reçoivent à Baker Street la visite d'une nouvelle cliente. Eve Allerthorpe, fille aînée d'une dynastie prestigieuse mais quelque peu excentrique du Yorkshire, se trouve dans une profonde détresse : elle se croit possédée par un démoniaque esprit de Noël. Eve doit hériter d'une fortune à condition d'être saine d'esprit, mais il semble que quelque chose - ou quelqu'un - menace son équilibre mental.

London, 1850: Unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit sorgt das Ministry of Souls dafür, die Seelen Verstorbener in die Zwischenwelt zu befördern. Der Soulman Jack und die arabische Prinzessin Naima sind dem mysteriösen Schattenspieler auf der Spur - einem Wesen, das zwischen den Welten wechseln kann und Jack mit einem Fluch belegt, der dafür sorgt, dass er immer mehr an Kraft verliert und so durchscheinend wird wie Glas. Ihnen bleibt wenig Zeit, um nicht nur den Fluch zu brechen, sondern auch die finsteren Pläne des Schattenspielers zu durchkreuzen.

Even as they mourn the loss of their colleague, psychic Nan Killian, medium Sarah Lyon-White, and Elemental Masters John and Mary Watson must be vigilant, for members of Moriarty’s network are still at large. And their troubles are far from over: in a matter of weeks, two headless bodies of young brides wash up in major waterways. A couple who fears for their own recently-wedded daughter hires the group to investigate, but with each new body, the mystery only deepens. The more bodies emerge, the more the gang suspects that there is dangerous magic at work.

While Sherlock is still officially dead, John and Mary Watson and Nan Killian and Sarah Lyon-White are taking up some of his caseload - and some for Lord Alderscroft, the Wizard of London. Lord Alderscroft asks them to go to Dartmoor to track down a rumor of evil magic brewing there. Not more than four hours later, a poor cottager, also from Dartmoor, arrives seeking their help. His wife, in a fit of rage over the children spilling and spoiling their only food for dinner that night, sent them out on the moors to forage for something to eat. This time they did not come back.

Come ogni mattina, Franz Kafka si reca nel suo ufficio di impiegato, ma questa volta alla scrivania trova seduto uno sconosciuto. Una situazione degna dei suoi romanzi. Lo sconosciuto gli rivolge domande allusive, inquietanti, sembra al corrente di qualcosa che l'interrogato ignora, e infine si dilegua minacciando di tornare presto. Nessuno, nell'edificio, lo ha visto né entrare né uscire.

Glamour in Glass continues following the lives of beloved main characters Jane and Vincent, with a much deeper vein of drama and intrigue.

Queen Victoria's Book of Spells is an anthology for everyone who loves works of neo-Victorian fiction and wishes to explore the wide variety of ways that modern fantasists are using nineteenth-century settings, characters, and themes. These approaches stretch from steampunk fiction to the Austen-and-Trollope inspired works that some critics call "fantasy of manners", all of which fit under the larger umbrella of gaslamp fantasy.
