Gibbous House by Ewan Lawrie

Gibbous House by Ewan Lawrie

Moffat is an indiscriminate killer and verbose criminal thriving in the underbelly of 19th-century London. When he unexpectedly inherits Gibbous House, an expansive estate in Northumbria, he heads north on a journey that raises questions about his own identity and quickly leads to issues of morality, addiction and murder. Gibbous House, Moffat discovers, already plays home to a motley cast of characters: the beautiful and seductive Ellen Pardoner, the conniving attach Maccabi and the arrogant scientist Enoch--manager of the mansion's esoteric collection. Moffat's greed-fuelled pursuit of his inheritance takes him deep into a crazed, conspiratorial plot and a series of tense, psychological showdowns. Gibbous House is a dark, Victorian thriller told with modern wit and brimming with historical detail. Rich with atmosphere and intense psychological drama, it brings modern irony to the rich texture of the classic gothic novel.

Ewan Lawrie spent 23 years in the Royal Air Force. He began writing during long boring flights over desert countries. His stories and poetry have been published in several anthologies. Gibbous House is his first novel.
