The Beauty and the Blood

By Ian R. Bell

When American anthropologist Samantha Russell decides to go on a PhD research visit to England to check out London's criminal underworld, she soon uncovers a terrifying secret that will change her life forever... She's flat-sharing with a notorious female criminal called Sterling, who's deeply involved in the London gangland culture of the anarchic 1980s, and when both women come into the possession of an ancient magical necklace, they soon become the objects of unwanted attention - notably from the London police authorities and a mysterious secret society buried deep within the heart of the British aristocracy, and from this point onward, things start to turn decidedly dangerous and deadly. Ian Robert Bell's story, The Beauty And The Blood spins a powerful web of terror, politics and the supernatural, while moments of real beauty make the narrative glow, and the sadness of a society at bay lends poignancy to a tale that both terrifies and fascinates all at once. Watch out for the appearance of the Hell Hound - and above all, don't panic...
