Young Nancy Ratcliffe is on the run. When her father falls gravely ill, she must flee her home at Brethren Hall and the dangerous prophet. Even the sooty streets of Victorian London hold less terror for Nancy.
Meanwhile, Spider is biding her time. The man who murdered a part of her disappeared many years ago, but still she hopes for revenge.
Jet-black and thrilling, SPIDER, SPIDER is an unforgettable tale of a woman who has lost herself in the poison of vengeance, and the knife-sharp girl who might just bring her back.
Selected Praise
“L. C. Winter is fantastic writer. If you liked The Silence Factory by the splendid Bridget Collins, I think this is for you.”
“Gloriously gothic, Spider, Spider peels back the veneer of Victorian hypocrisy to reveal vicious vengeance and vivid storytelling. L.C. Winter’s tale will haunt you long after the last page!”
“Prepare to be glued to every creeping word of menace in a Victorian world of murder, mystery and madness.”
