The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray — Chris Wooding
AMONGST THE DARK STREETS OF LONDON DWELLS UNIMAGINABLE TERROR...
Thaniel, just seventeen, is a wych-hunter. Together, he and Cathaline -- his friend and mentor -- track down the fearful creatures that lurk in the Old Quarter of London. It is on one of these hunts that he first encounters Alaizabel Cray.
Alaizabel is half-crazed, lovely, and possessed. Whatever dreadful entity has entered her soul has turned her into a strange and unearthly magnet -- attracting evil and drawing horrors from every dark corner. Cathaline and Thaniel must discover its cause -- and defend humanity at all costs.
With vivid imagination and dark suspense, Chris Wooding has created a post-Goth masterpiece about a shattered society and all the evil that dwells within. "Read it if you dare!" writes the Glasgow Sunday Post, while the Times proclaims, "Wooding's novel is shiveringly exciting . . . but it is not a bedtime book for those of a nervous disposition."
