Burton and Swinburne in The strange affair of Spring Heeled Jack / Mark Hodder presents

Amherst : Pyr, 2010

Abstract: It is 1861, and Albertian Britain is in the grip of conflicting forces. Engineers transform the landscape with bigger, faster, noisier and dirtier technological wonders; Eugenicists develop specialist animals to provide unpaid labour; Libertines oppose restrictive and unjust laws and flood the country with propaganda demanding a society based on beauty and creativity; while The Rakes push the boundaries of human behaviour to the limits with magic, sexuality, drugs and anarchy. Returning from his failed expedition to find the source of the Nile, explorer, linguist, scholar and swordsman Sir Richard Francis Burton finds himself sucked into the perilous depths of this moral and ethical vacuum when the Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, employs him as 'King's Spy'. His first mission: to investigate the sexual assaults committed by a weird apparition known as Spring Heeled Jack; to find out why chimney sweeps are being kidnapped by half-man, half-dog creatures; and to discover the whereabouts of his badly injured former friend, John Hanning Speke. Accompanied by the diminutive and pain-loving poet, Algernon Swinburne, Burton's investigations lead him back to one of the defining events of the age: the brutal assassination of Queen Victoria in 1840; and the terrifying possibility that the world he inhabits shouldn't exist at all.

Mr. Darcy's decision : a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice / Juliette Shapiro

New York : Ulysses Press, 2008

Abstract: Newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy begin their married life at Pemberley quite blissfully, but it is not long before the tranquility they seek is undermined by social enemies. The formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh makes little attempt to hide disdain for her nephew's wife. She is joined by Caroline Bingley, as sharp tongued and resentful as ever, in the shared amusement of criticizing Elizabeth. However, the new mistress of Pemberley has more pressing matters on her mind -- the fact that she is carrying the Darcy heir being the most pleasant of them.
