Signed Exclusive Edition – The Barghest by C. L. Monaghan (Paperback)

In the summer of 1862, investigator Midnight Gunn travels to Scotland expecting peace and reflection. What he finds instead is horror. Bodies vanish from the city morgue without trace, strange howls echo through the night, and whispers of a monstrous creature—the Barghest—spread fear through every street.

As the shadows close in, Midnight’s once-quiet household becomes a place of unease. Those closest to him grow secretive, their loyalties uncertain, and danger creeps ever closer to his door. When his daughter suddenly disappears, Midnight’s search turns from professional duty to desperate obsession.

He calls on Inspector Arthur Gredge of Scotland Yard, and together they confront a mystery that defies logic and tests the limits of courage. Beneath the fog and superstition lies something ancient and vengeful, waiting to be found—or to find them first.

The Barghest blends gothic horror, historical mystery, and supernatural suspense into a haunting tale of loss, loyalty, and the price of truth. Readers who enjoy dark Victorian settings, occult intrigue, and emotionally driven storytelling will find themselves gripped from the first page to the last.
