Victorian Horror Stories

Step into the shadowed streets of Victorian London, where gaslamps flicker, secrets hide in plain sight, and every stitch may hold a clue. The Penny Thread Plot is a richly atmospheric historical mystery that blends suspense, period detail, and an unforgettable female sleuth.

In this series, seamstress-turned-investigator Clara Henley navigates the delicate line between society’s elegance and its underbelly, uncovering conspiracies sewn into corsets, coded messages in penny novels, and crimes hidden behind the respectable façades of the age. Perfect for readers who love cunning plots, richly drawn characters, and the dangerous glamour of the nineteenth century.

Fans of Sarah Waters, Laura Purcell, and Deanna Raybourn will find much to enjoy in these tales of fashion, intrigue, and murder beneath the gaslight.
