Publisher Description
When a private envoy of the queen and member of Lord Carmichael's discreet service goes missing, Balfour and Meriwether are asked to look into the affair. They will find a labyrinth of dreams, horrors risen from hell, prophecy, sexual perversion, and an abandoned farmhouse on the moors outside Harrowmoor Sanitarium. The earth itself will bare its secrets and the Empire itself will tremble in the face of the hidden dangers they discover, but the greatest peril is the one they have brought with them.
Balfour and Meriwether in the Incident of the Harrowmoor Dogs is the first novella length work in the Balfour and Meriwether stories by Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award nominated author Daniel Abraham.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Balfour and Meriwether are agents of Queen Victoria who are assigned a curious case: fellow agent Daniel Winters has vanished mysteriously near a sanitarium on the moors. Michael Caster, a disgraced poet and explorer staying at the sanitarium, claims to have nightmare visions of a strange world beneath the Earth, populated by terrifying dogs. To the surprise of both agents, England is, in fact, being menaced by massive, brutal, intelligent dogs. Abraham (the Dragon's Path series) fits some surprising twists into this novella, and as the dogs close in and Caster makes himself useful, much philosophizing about abominations and alliances ensues. This chapbook will make an interesting addition to any devoted Abraham fan's collection.
