The Somnambulist

I recently read and enjoyed a book called The Somnambulist by first time author Jonathan Barnes.

It was an enjoyable take on the post-Victorian penny dreadful, full of odd characters including a hunchbacked albino, an odd man who may or may not be from the future...or the past, two very old demented prepboy serial killers, a human fly, and the title character, an 8 foot tall, hairless, milk addict. Barnes has a way with words and his narrator is so delightful and twisted, I was stunned when his identity was revealed. Check on our website to read the first few chapters....you'll be hooked.
