ONE EYE GREY TRANSPONTINE DRIFT PUBLICATION FEBRUARY 2007
One Eye Grey is a penny dreadful for the 21st century and is the beginning of a planned series of publications that retell London folktales and ghost stories in a contemporary setting. The three parts of this first serial will be released at significant dates in the occult calendar starting in February 2007 (Imbolc), then June (Solstice) and finally Halloween so that by 31st October the whole story will be told.
One Eye Grey is a nod to the cockney legend of the Queen Rat, a sexy rodent able to transform herself into a raven haired lovely in order to seduce handsome dockside workers. Alongside this very different Ratty from the one in Wind in the Willows you'll find shape shifters in Shepherds Bush, loreleis at the lido, pagan estate agents and a basilisk breeding programme in Rotherhithe. Carl Gee, who rather appropriately has disappeared himself at the moment, presents these strange tales from the metropolis and introduces the reader to some of his friends.
One Eye Grey: Volume One: Transpontine Drift.
Paperback: 64 pages. ISBN: 978-0-9544828-1-7. Price: �2.50
