Patience Worth: The Horror of Blackthorne Hall

By Cody Polston

In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, where the gaslight casts long shadows and secrets linger in forgotten corners, Patience Worth is not the demure librarian she appears to be. Behind her practical appearance lies a mind as sharp as Sherlock Holmes himself.
When young women begin vanishing without trace, dismissed by authorities as mere runaways, Patience alone notices the pattern. Drawing upon both her uncle Frederick's training in unconventional investigative techniques and her own extensive knowledge of folklore and criminal psychology, Patience ventures where others fear to tread. What begins as a search for missing girls becomes a desperate battle against an ancient evil that has preyed upon London for generations.
As the bodies mount and the police continue to ignore her warnings, Patience must rely on her analytical mind and unconventional methods to stop a predator with seemingly supernatural powers. But in the shadows, something watches her in return, marking her as the next victim of the Horror of Blackthorne Hall. Some mysteries are best left unsolved. Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed. And some monsters wear the faces of London's most respected citizens.
