The Giftsnatcher

Step into the gaslit streets of The Giftsnatcher, where Edinburgh’s past hides under layers of fog, folklore, and blood. Inspired by the real Dr. Joseph Bell, the man who taught Sherlock Holmes how to deduce, and shadowed by the specter of Jack the Ripper, this novel explores themes of werewolves, curses, and moral gray areas. Here you’ll find author insights into Victorian medicine, true crime, and why the idea of monstrous transformation still haunts us.
