Dickens with a twist

I'll keep it brief. 'Reigning Cats and Dogs' is set in the hovels of Black Church, Victorian London: grubby, poverty-stricken, syphilis-plagued, whore-filled streets and alleyways. The female protagonist is Grace, a beautiful whore who is the embodiment of the moon: pale as milk ice, with green cat eyes and possessed by an ability to heal. The male protagonist is broodingly handsome Saul Anger: a former child sex slave for deviant men who have a taste for boys, who is rescued from that sordid life by the wealthy head of the Society - a secret organization whose purpose is to rid the City of immoral men by killing them (ironically). There is much in-between this of course, but to get to the point: A terror is released in the streets of Black Church, which has taken about itself the smoky form of Anubis, the Egyptian god of Judgement and Afterlife - the very same figurehead worshipped by the Society. Havoc is unleashed in godzilla like proportions.Reigning Cats and Dogs is a short, gripping read. Recommended.
