Dead Leprechauns & Devil Cats

About the book

New York Times bestselling author, Grady Hendrix (Horrorstör, Paperbacks from Hell), hilariously parodies Victorian adventure fiction in this steampunk brawl filled with decapitated heads that serenade, Tong conflicts, bacon romance, German holiday demons, and the Potato Homunculus! These gripping stories, which have been extremely popular on the audio fiction platform Pseudopod, follow the adventures of the White Street Society, a group of 19th Century gentlemen explorers who delve into the world of the supernatural, often resorting to violence and occasionally employing science.

Poking fun at the 19th century anxieties surrounding women, Germans, the Irish, Chinatown, Southerners, politicians, and anyone deemed not 'appropriate' (meaning: male and white), this compilation of cases is filled with shocking revelations that are bound to shock and amuse all refined readers. Animals and expectant mothers are advised to STEER CLEAR of 'The Hairy Ghost!', 'The Corpse Army of Khartoum!', 'The Yellow Peril!', and 'The Christmas Spirits!', along with the sensational new tale making its debut in this collection, 'The President Who Would Not Die!'. For those adventurous readers seeking a hearty dose of absurdity, prepare to be introduced to the paranormal marvels that these fearless 19th century gentlemen were compelled to eliminate through shooting, poisoning, burning, and even wielding shovels, all in the name of PROGRESS!
