What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up

Out now

Old London

Sideways. A stinking, grey hell, the burned remains of a Victorian asylum bathing in its stench. Within the building’s blackened bones, something stirs.

It’s time. Clutching her pea-shooter, Alice, the Knocker-Upper, realises too late her fate is sealed. Now, she’s Sideways, and fading to grey.

Modern-day London

At an old clock shop, the owner’s granddaughter, Tess smells something wrong. Feels it in the ticking of her heart.

When Tess stumbles Sideways and meets Alice, she knows life may not work out the way she planned.

While fighting her own demons, can Tess crush evil? What sacrifices will she have to make along the way?

If she squinted, she could be in Dickensian London. The cobbles. The smog of a warm day quietly simmering.

What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up

The mouth of the old asylum yawned wide. As Tess trod upon the crumbling steps leading inside, she had a sense of walking back through time.
