A team of archaeologists claim to have found the final resting place of the original warrior Queen of the Britons – Boudica. It's the story of the century and investigative journalist Charlotte Blood wants nothing more than to get the inside scoop. But Charlotte is not the only one hunting for the truth. Other journalists are also eager to find out if this is, in fact, the legendary queen's final resting place. Instead of finding a giant piece of history, Charlotte makes a more horrifying discovery... The tomb – which has reportedly been sealed shut for almost two thousand years – inexplicably also houses the dead body of a local woman. Even more bewildering is the fact that both bodies appear to have three different causes of death. The deeper Charlotte dives into the case, the more she finds herself fascinated by a single question: what is the secret of the Threefold Death? As Charlotte grows closer to discovering the killer, perhaps the question she should be asking is whether she will be the third victim … Filled with history, mystery, and a relatable main character, Threefold Death will appeal to both history buffs and crime aficionados.

December 1929, and young back-room journalist Charlotte Blood is sent to the isolated Ravenswick Abbey in the wilds of Dartmoor to investigate the murder of the heir to the Ravenswick fortune. She faces a locked room mystery like no other, a crime impossible to solve. Almost a year ago, on New Year’s Eve, nine members of the Ravenswick household stepped into a vast, ornate lift installed for the ailing head of the family, Lord Ravenswick. The power failed. The lift stopped. In the darkness, a single shot was fired. As the light returned, the occupants were met with the sight of Charles Ravenswick, the heir, dead on the floor, the gun lying in the centre of the lift. No one could have got in. No one could have got out. All have motives. None have alibis. Charlotte Blood arrives under the pretence of reporting on the family's infamous ravens. She finds a house haunted by suspicion and secrets. She must unravel the mystery and with it the terrible truth behind the Ravenwicks. Her search will not only lead her down a dangerous path, it will reveal some of the dark secrets that lurk in her own life... Meet the enigmatic protagonist Charlotte Blood for the first time in this new gothic crime series, The Blood Chronicles...

A beautifully designed modern day penny dreadful. This issue is guaranteed to slip you a bit of the weird, the uncomfortable, the creepy, topped up with a garnish of terror. Nine short stories designed to raise the hair on the back of your neck, twist your perspective and leave you with a funny feeling in your gut. In Warren Benedetto's 'Uncle Pumpkin's Tongue', a seemingly innocent fairground ride turns into something revoltingly sinister. In Paul Buchanan's thoroughly disturbing tale, 'The Bynum Girl', a community anticipates the release of one of its most terrifying members: a girl who once tormented them all. JP Relph's mind bending story, 'Delirus', tells of a doll, kept out of sight in the basement of a house gathering dust. She is discovered by a little girl who becomes quite taken with her. But what the little dolly harbours inside will make your skin crawl... Reggie Chamberlain-King's, 'Living With It', is a deeply troubling story of a mother unravelling in her domestic surroundings. Has she really just committed the most unmotherly act? Where is her son, really? Rory Say's thought provoking story, 'The Other Door', tells of a boy who keeps finding a door in strange places, but one that he cannot ever open. In Mark Blayney's, eerie story, 'Coin, Mirror, Manoeuvre', a man lives alone in the woods surrounded by his memories of an unrecognisable past - familiar, yet, unfamiliar. Something utterly life-changing has happened, but what? And which version of events is correct... ? 'The Catafalque' by Victoria Dowd is a spine-chilling story of a couple who convert a disused chapel, novel indeed, but is it ever a good idea to use a catafalque as a dining table? In Eve Chancellor's story inspired by true events, 'The Resurrection Man', a corpse-hauler delivering freshly dead bodies receives a visit from someone unexpected prompting a series of disturbing events. It is 1916 in Neil A. Wilson's, 'In the Bleak Midwinter', and an invalid soldier is convalescing in Marsham Hall after a mustard gas attack. He should be improving but the nightmares keep leaking in, getting worse, almost as though something is tormenting him on purpose...
