Lord Geoffrey Thraxton is notorious in Victorian society—a Byronesque rake with a reputation as the “wickedest man in London.” But on a fog-shrouded morning in Highgate Cemetery, Thraxton encounters a spectral wraith that stirs his morbid fascination with death and the supernatural.

After surviving a pistol duel, Thraxton boasts his contempt for death and insults the attending physician. It is a mistake he will regret, for Silas Garrette is a deranged sociopath and chloroform-addict whose mind was broken on the battlefields of Crimea. When Thraxton falls in love with a mysterious woman who haunts Highgate Cemetery by night, he unwittingly provides the murderous doctor with the perfect means to punish a man with no fear of death.

Industry Reviews

"For those who love a tawdry Victorian mystery or romance novel, The Angel of Highgate is good fun." - Fangirl Nation "Everything I expect from Victorian fiction and more...brilliant entertainment!" - Rising Shadow

"Lovely descriptions...and well drawn characters" - Reviewing the Evidence

"I found it hard to put this book down...Entwistle does a brilliant job of evoking Victorian London and it certainly is not a sanitized version of the city. It definitely smells, from the horse dung in the roads to the open middens in the less salubrious parts of town." - Lit Reactor

"THE ANGEL OF HIGHGATE is as lush and charming as it is morbid, and the masterful fusion is pulled off with prose that is as rich as the more florid verbiage of classic lit, while also being as smooth and readable as other contemporary fiction." - The Blood Shed

"This book is as thrilling as any horror fiction you could get from Poe or Shelly two centuries ago." - Atomic Moo
