GUARDIAN'A thrilling blend of fantasy and horror, richly imagined
and masterfully executed' SFX'Terrific . . .A book that creeps up
on you, wearing brass knuckles' CONN IGGULDEN--------------The
first in a captivating new historical fantasy series, ORDINARY
MONSTERS introduces the Talents with a catastrophic vision of the
Victorian world, and the gifted, broken children who must save it.
There in the shadows was a figure in a cloak, at the bottom of the
cobblestone stair, and it turned and stared up at them as still and
unmoving as a pillar of darkness, but it had no face, only smoke .
.. 1882. North of Edinburgh, on the edge of an isolated loch, lies
an institution of crumbling stone, where a strange doctor collects
orphans with unusual abilities.In London, two children with such
powers are hunted by a figure of darkness - a man made of smoke.
Charlie Ovid discovers a gift for healing himself through a brutal
upbringing in Mississippi, while Marlowe, a foundling from a
railway freight, glows with a strange bluish light. When two
grizzled detectives are recruited to escort them north to safety,
they are confronted by a sinister, dangerous force that threatens
to upend the world as they know it.What follows is a journey from
the gaslit streets of London to the lochs of Scotland, where other
gifted children - the Talents - have been gathered at Cairndale
Institute, and the realms of the dead and the living collide. As
secrets within the Institute unfurl, Marlowe, Charlie and the rest
of the Talents will discover the truth about their abilities and
the nature of the force that is stalking them: that the worst
monsters sometimes come bearing the sweetest gifts.
