Denizen of the Dead: The Horrors of Clarendon Court

WARNING!

You are about to enter the City of London, the most evil and corrupt place on the planet!

On the border between the City's Cripplegate ward and south Islington's Bone Hill district stands Clarendon Court aka The Denizen - an elite and newly built luxury apartment block of 99 flats marketed to property investors.

Exclusive? Yes

Reassuringly expensive? Yes

Safe? Undoubtedly not!

There were stories, just rumours, about what went on there. Rumours about perversion, orgies, ghosts, bad feng shui and shockingly unpleasant deaths.

When a gorgeous young nymphomaniac bursts into a Clarendon Court apartment, the whole story of depravity and corruption is revealed.

In this collection of short fiction by today's top writers the Clarendon Court investment flats really are haunted by the ghosts of Cripplegate's wild past, when the hood was notorious for its brothels and the ultra-violent criminals who haunted them.

On top of this there's a problem with the spirits of hundreds of thousands of unhappy souls whose corpses were dumped in both local plague pits and the more recent Golden Lane mega-morgue, a huge Victorian Palace of the Dead.

Featuring work from Paul Ewen, Tariq Goddard, Iphgenia Baal, Chris Petit, Steve Finbow, John King, Chloe Aridjis, Tom McCarthy, Liz Rever, Katrina Palmer, Michael Hampton, Stewart Home and many more!

This anthology is a protest against property speculation and a new take on the genre of haunted house horror fiction. The book itself is a talisman that defends our communities against developers and inside it also features Spell Series by the w.o.n.d.e.r. coven. The symbols of this living spell are a lock and key designed to dismantle the neoliberal project and overdevelopment as represented by Clarendon Court.
