Dreams of the Damned: Volume 9 (Galvanic Century) - Softcover

Detectives Alton Bartleby and James Wainwright's latest case will take them to the boundaries of Edwardian psychiatry and beyond. There's been a murder in the Bedford Mental Hospital, and the patients have taken over to ensure that justice is done. Will the conflicts caused by Bartleby's recent wedding rend their partnership apart, or can the detectives keep their focus long enough to solve the case, before Scotland Yard's impatience leads to the hanging of a scapegoat? Dreams of the Damned is the fourth in the Galvanic Century series of steampunk mystery thrillers.

Michael Coorlim is a teller of strange stories for stranger people. He collects them, the oddballs. The mystics and fire-spinners, the sages and tricksters. He curates their tales, combines their elements and lets them rattle around inside his rock-tumbler skull until they gleam, then spills them loose onto the page for like-minded readers to enjoy. He writes fast-paced stories about real people in fantastic situations, plots with just a twist of the surreal, set in worlds just a shadow’s breadth from our own. He’s the author of the Galvanic Century series of Steampunk Thrillers, the literary apocalyptic short story collection Grief, and the supernatural serial Profane Apotheosis.
