New York Times-bestselling author, Grady Hendrix (Horrorstör,
Paperbacks from Hell), savagely satirizes Victorian adventure fiction
in this steampunk smackdown full of decapitated heads that sing, Tong
wars, bacon sex, German holiday demons, and the Potato Homunculus!
Some of the most popular stories ever released on audio fiction
platform Pseudopod, the White Street Society tells the tales of a band
of 19th century gentleman adventurers who investigate the
supernatural, often with violence, sometimes with science. Sending up
19th century fears about women, Germans, the Irish, Chinatown,
Southerners, politicians, and anyone who wasn’t the “right” kind
of person (read: male and white), this collection of cases contains
shocking details that are sure to tighten the corsets and spin the
mustaches of all gentle readers. Animals and pregnant women are
advised to KEEP AWAY from “The Hairy Ghost!”, “The Corpse Army
of Khartoum!”, “The Yellow Peril!”, and “The Christmas
Spirits!” as well as the shocking new story premiering∂ in this
collection, “The President Who Would Not Die!” For those bold
readers who desire a strong blast of nonsense, allow us to introduce
you to the supernatural wonders that these bold men of the 19th
century were compelled to shoot, poison, burn, and beat to death with
shovels, all in the name of PROGRESS!
