In the grand city of Harvon Proper, society ladies prefer a distinctive one with wings, tails, and teeth... Grotesquerie for ladies is high fashion and big business, conducted under the guidance of the mysterious doyenne of etiquette, Miss Demeanour. But a dark truth lurks beneath the glossy façade of fashion there’s more to gorgeous grotesquerie than meets the eye. For Emma Waverley, it’s a truth worth stepping out for. Out of style, out of fashion, and out of the city—for there’s another side to Harvon Proper, and it’s absolutely out of this world. Step into an alternate Edwardian world, where the gossip glitters and the fashion comes with fangs… fantasy of manners turns gorgeously weird in this fresh and frothy novelette.
