When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year 802,701 AD, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. They have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity - the sinister Morlocks. And when the scientist's time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels, if he is ever to return to his own era.

Foul Manors - A Croft and Tabby...

Brad Magnarella

Tabby the comfort pet? 
When I wake up in a residential home with little memory of how I got there, I’m forced to rely on my succubus cat, Tabitha, for support. Talk about a nightmare. 
It turns out we’re in Whisperwood Manor, where my intuitive friend, Kayla, believes something sinister is making the residents disappear—by devouring them. Is it the cold-blooded administrator? Her staff of ex-cons? Or has the predator melded into the resident population, licking its chops in plain sight? 
I need to find out fast, and without getting devoured myself. A challenge given my scant memory and shaky magic, not to mention my outsized dependence on Tabitha, who’s already acting like the Queen of Sheba. 
Pray for me. 
Croft & Tabby is a spinoff of the popular Prof Croft series, set before the main books. If you like snarky cats, fledgling mages, and supernatural investigations, you'll love Croft & Tabby!
