A Mystery of the Underground (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
About this book
From the prolific pen of John Oxenham (the pseudonym of William Arthur Dunkerley), a popular Edwardian novelist and adventurer, comes a thrilling piece of speculative fiction that utilizes the burgeoning, sprawling infrastructure of the capital.
A Mystery of the Underground is set in the claustrophobic world of the early London Tube system. Published during a period of massive expansion in the Underground network, the novel taps into the era's fascination with urban secrets and subterranean exploration. The story follows a compelling mystery connected to the dark, labyrinthine tunnels far below the streets of London, where a secret--either fantastical, scientific, or horrifyingly criminal--is concealed. Oxenham expertly combines the familiar setting of the city's transport system with a gripping atmosphere of claustrophobic suspense and discovery.
This is a must-read for fans of Edwardian mystery, early urban fantasy, and classic subterranean adventure tales that exploit the dark, hidden depths of the industrial age.
