Synopsis

A lost manuscript from the pen of obscure Scots-Irish writer Martin Caulder, recently come to light.

A pseudonymous work for the Olympia Press in Paris in the 1960s.

A mysterious packet of papers from the 1920s.

A Strange Case from the 1890s in fin de siècle Paris.

William Crowe and Stephen Devlin, Irish exiles and students of the Occult, have made a dangerous wager: who shall be the first to woo young Thomas MacGilpatrick, a Jesuit novice, away from the Church and his vocation?

The Path of Initiation into the Mysteries? Or the Path of Ecstasy and the Wild?

Our two Devil's Advocates play a game of smoke and mirrors, Tarot-Chess, Kabbalistic Backgammon, working like artisans to win that single, tender, valuable soul.

Through the dark streets and into the cabarets and crypts of a gaslit Night-town Paris, we are led a merry danse macabre, and stray with Doubtful Thomas through the labyrinth of that Unreal City.

A chilling tale of decadence and delirium, to quicken even the deadest, darkest heart ...

À propos de l'auteur

Mark Fitzpatrick is a teacher, writer, and scholar, specialising in the Weird and the Wonderful. He has a PhD in Literature from the Université de Paris - Sorbonne Nouvelle, and is currently an invited lecturer in several Paris universities. He is working on setting up a small alternative educational project, The Hedge School. Originally from Cork, he spent twenty years in Paris, living in garrets and trying to get his novels published.

Unreal City is his first published novel, but there are several others waiting in the wings. He has recently moved to Aquitaine, where he lives in an eerie old house in a village full of mysteries and secrets, with his wife, his two children, a Wicked Uncle, and two and a half cats.
