'What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up'
Old London
Sideways. A stinking, ghostly hell, where time stalls and torment is endless. Among the blackened bones of a burned Victorian asylum, something stirs.
Clutching her pea-shooter, Alice, the Knocker-Upper, realises too late her fate is sealed. Now, she’s Sideways, and fading to grey.
London, today
In a forgotten corner, Tess of the clock shop smells something wrong. Feels it in the ticking of her heart. When she stumbles Sideways and meets Alice, she knows life may not work out the way she planned.
While fighting her own demons, is Tess the one to destroy evil? What sacrifices will she have to make along the way?
