'A pocket horror show.. far from dreadful and worth every penny.' Time Out.
'a-price-of-a-pint-of-Stella rather than a shilling shocker' The Guardian
‘A dread good read. Inspired by a century old genre but addressing timeless fears in a modern voice, will be scaring commuters witless for a long time to come.’ Southwark News

The 21st century penny dreadful One Eye Grey is something chilling and pocket sized to read on the tube. It is aimed at ordinary Londoners who like a laugh, enjoy a spot of history, take pleasure from a bit of a fright when the fancy moves them and may want to look at their city in a fresh light.

Lorelie at the lido, shape shifters in Shepherd's Bush, Queen Rats at Queenshythe are amongst the cast in this 21st century penny dreadful. Alongside them are pagan estate agents, a basilisk breeding programme in Rotherhithe and a whole series of odd disappearances and strange London happenings. |

A goose in Southwark is still a mere slip of a thing with sixty eight pages packed with peculiar London stories of long dead Parliamentarians, a terrifying sloaney pony, lewd fricatrix servicing punters from beyond the grave, ghost films in haunted cinemas and, perhaps most frightening of all, the dreaded LED which condemns the sufferer to literally eat, sleep and breath London.

Out of orbital is the final part of the 2007 trilogy and ties up all the loose ends as it canters around London’s south east seaside resorts. Expect tales of bizarre revenge, the dog slaughtering Queen of Hearts Cult, good reasons for avoiding the meat course and events that will amaze at Walton on the Naze where old friends reappear and everything ends on a lonely beach.

Spectral Eskimo infants in Chelsea, Georgian era vigilantes whipping scantily clad city girls at West India Quay and a parallel London where Walworth is the home of the rich and famous whilst Primrose Hill is a by word for poverty and crime. Surely someone is having a giraffe or is it One Eye Grey back in time for Valentines to break hearts and deliver more stories from another London. See the Elephant fly! Rest of World £4.00 |

Disappearing lovers, off licenses on the sites of ancient temples, birds who charge tolls and those that stalk with the pigeon hordes. All this and a couple of nasty trips underground. What more could you want from a bank holiday weekend? Magic you say? We’ll we’ve got that as well in this edition of One Eye Grey which, in contrast to all the anniversary celebrations connected with Paris sixty eight, remains resolutely London two and eight.
