An instructive story in which vice receives its just reward.
Inspired by true and scandalous tales of the Gaslight aristocracy, we present the most moral and improving tale of Lady Rosamond Wolfram.
Weep, reader, for the plight of our heroine as she descends into piteous ruin in the clutches of the notorious Phlogiston Baron, Anstruther Jones. Witness the horrors of feminine rebellion when this headstrong young lady defies her father, breaks an advantageous engagement, and slips into depravity with a social inferior. Before the last page is turned, you will have seen our heroine molested by carnival folk, snubbed at a dance, and drawn into a sinful ménage a trois by an unrepentant sodomite, the wicked and licentious Lord Mercury.
Reader, take heed. No aspect of our unfortunate heroine’s life, adventures, or conduct is at all admirable, desirable, exciting, thrilling, glamorous, or filled with heady passion and gay romance.

I picked this book because of the cover and not the title which is just strange to me. I'm glad I read it. The romance - three way really - is so sweet and tender. Loved the last chapters of the book. I know that in real life it may have ended with the police being called but this is fiction, so I c...

5.0 There Will Be Phlogiston
In so many ways while reading There Will Be Phlogiston, this phrase from Howard's End 'Only connect! Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted' kept echoing in my head. Alexis Hall's prose reads like it is, at least, one of his passions. Having read a couple of his books, I've...

Great as we're used to from Alexis Hall! If there's any complaint at all, it's that this was too short - I was a bit disappointed when it ended near the 50% mark on my kindle. Still, since it's free and everything there is is wonderful - I loved both the writing and the story itself -, I really shou...
