The Spirit Engineer【電子書籍】[ A. J. West ]
<p><strong>‘A fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deception, and power.’ DERREN BROWN</strong></p> <p>Belfast, 1914. Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, high society has become obsessed with spiritualism, attending s?ances in the hope they might reach their departed loved ones.</p> <p>William Jackson Crawford is a man of science and a sceptic, but one night with everyone sitting around the circle, voices come to him ? seemingly from beyond the veil ? placing doubt in his heart and a seed of obsession in his mind. Could the spirits truly be communicating with him or is this one of Kathleen’s parlour tricks gone too far?</p> <p>Based on the true story of Professor William Jackson Crawford and famed medium Kathleen Goligher, and with a cast of characters including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini, <em>The Spirit Engineer</em> conjures a haunted, twisted tale of power, paranoia and one ultimate, inescapable truth...</p> <p><em><strong>PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT ENGINEER</strong></em></p> <p>‘<strong>I adored this book. Haunting, witty and deeply moving</strong>, <em><strong>The Spirit Engineer</strong></em> <strong>is surely set to become a gothic classic</strong>. I was instantly drawn into the mystery and <strong>swept along by the shocking twists and turns. A beautifully written novel.</strong>’ JODIE WHITTAKER, ACTOR</p> <p>‘A.J. West has history at his fingertips and <strong>writes brilliantly - so clever it makes your head spin!</strong> <em>The Spirit Engineer</em> is a work of true invention and drama that <strong>moves at a cracking pace from the very first page and keeps you guessing. A compelling and daring book.’</strong> JEREMY VINE, BROADCASTER</p> <p>‘Set in a historical moment where science and spiritualism meet, <em>The Spirit Engineer</em> is <strong>an ingeniously plotted debut novel.’</strong> SARAH BURTON, AUTHOR OF <em>THE</em> <em>STRANGE ADVENTURES OF H</em></p> <p><strong>‘A marvellous and menacing gothic chiller,</strong> filled with secrets and soaked in atmosphere, in which the ghouls and fiends are not of the other world, but this one...’ NEIL BLACKMORE, AUTHOR OF THE INTOXICATING <em>MR LAVELLE</em></p> <p><strong>‘A spooky tale of frustrated ambition, hidden loyalties, and desperation, told with wit, charm and devastating twists.</strong> A gothic novel that also manages to make you laugh, even if you shouldn't.’ JONATHAN HARVEY, PLAYWRIGHT</p> <p>‘<strong>With a skilful misdirection that any Edwardian spirit medium would be proud to demonstrate, A.J. West soon turns the screw in this fascinating novel…</strong> Obsession builds until the <strong>stunning climax</strong> of the final shocking s?ance and its awful repercussions. Was William rights to be convinced? Did he prove ghosts exist?’ ESSIE FOX, AUTHOR OF <em>THE SOMNAMBULIST</em></p> <p><strong>‘A gripping, gothic story</strong> anchored in the political and spiritual chaos of Edwardian Belfast. Part horror, part history, <em>The Spirit Engineer</em> is <strong>a chilling and thought-provoking tale of exploitation, faith, deception, fraud, s?ances, hubris, and prejudice… accomplished and page-turning. Fans of <em>Penny Dreadful</em> and <em>The Nevers</em> will love it.’</strong> GARETH RUSSELL, HISTORIAN AND AUTHOR OF <em>THE SHIP OF DREAMS: THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC AND THE END OF EDWARDIAN BELFAST</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
