Gallagher’s ticked all the required boxes so well that I found myself not minding about the slightly slower and less purposeful second half, or that strangely nebulous ancient evil. Unashamedly enjoyable, gloriously tawdry and cracking good fun, this is a gem of pastiche late-Victorian pulp fiction.
