  1. The Trials of Priscilla and Abigail Hawksby – A Gothic Adventure by Beeble42

    7 years ago

    Not so much a synopsis but an explanation. Set in the latter part of the 18th century harking back to debauchery of 30-40 years earlier when it seemed that if you were a major political figure then you almost had to be in a pseudo sex club, just like the British Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole. These clubs had rituals and intellectual discussion but kept their details very secret although we know they had rooms were women were entertained. The 18th century was slightly more pro-women than the Victorian age so they were allowed a little more leeway even being members of the Royal Academy. At this time the novel began and there is no question the the Gothic novel, although started by the intellectual Horace Walpole (yes a relation) became the pulp fiction of its day, some racy, some outrageous pornographic although must have been lost. The story has several geographical locations including North Yorkshire, London, Tunis, Paris and Istanbul. The structure is reminiscent of Lord of The Rings in that the main characters start off together but become separated into groups before eventually regrouping for the climax. Please do not be too critical is this as a massive undertaking and it does not help that for over 6 months I stopped writing it and lost my flow. I am approximately half-way through the story as I write this and the style might be a bit awkward as I try to echo the style of earlier writers.
