The book, says the publisher, "traverses the strange and often frightening intersection between Spiritualism and early psychiatry, featuring a murderous psychiatrist whose occult experiments include a dark practice he dubs 'subgnostic possession.'" This is the first in a series featuring the same two investigators; Burges is working on the second novel and plans at least a third book.
