[Pagham-on-Sea 0.5] • The Reluctant Husband

When Nathan Montague Porter, occultist and civil servant, catches the attention of Sir Jack Sauvant, he is invited to Sir Jack's Sussex country house to attempt some grisly magical experiments. Little does he know that it is Sir Jack's maid, Deirdre Wend, who actually holds the key to forbidden knowledge - but she won't give it up unless he takes her to the pictures first.

A Lovecraftian pastiche for fans of Clive Barker and Ray Bradbury, a standalone prequel to The Crows.
