The Wondrous And The Wicked (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
The simple whitewashed Georgian home rested snugly in the heart of Belgravia, between Turk’s Row and Sloan Square. The place looked like every other building along the street: a clean stone façade and four stories of tall, polished windows. There was no indication at all, from where Gabby stood on the well-swept front steps, that the people inside were demonologists with a penchant for controversial experiments involving both humans and creatures from the Underneath. As she reached for the bronzed pineapple knocker, her gaze lifted and stuck on the triangular frieze above the door. A man’s face had been carved into the stone, his mouth wide with horror. A small, clownish-looking gargoyle protruding from the stone frieze was nibbling on the man’s ear with razor teeth. Gabby sighed and brought the knocker down hard, twice. The other night, on their way back to Waverly House, Rory had been muttering a slew of crude epithets for Hugh Dupuis and the Daicrypta, while Gabby had been considering how to get her hands on some information.
