The Eater of Flies
What you need to know before your trail
London’s West End buzzes with a chaotic blend of affluence and moral decay, a place where high society and underworld meet. A valuable box from Transylvania, sealed tight, falls into unscrupulous hands. Its opening releases a vampyr, a wraith-like parasite that hides inside a host – whether young or old, man or woman – and thirsts for human blood.
For those who live and work around Holmwood’s music hall, just off The Strand, the vampyr’s arrival begins a nightmare of betrayal and death, and a race to return the creature to the grave before others of its kind come to pick the city clean.

London’s West End
The Eater Of Flies is a Victorian gothic chiller set in London in 1868. Most of the action takes place in the city’s West End, and in particular the ‘corridor’ between Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square and St. Paul’s Cathedral. In the 1860s, this was the busiest area of London, a 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week hive of activity like no other, thronged with people day and night and home to every cultural, social and commercial activity imaginable. Almost literally, all human life was here.
