A review by octavia_cade
Beneath London by James P. Blaylock

3.0

This is the first book I've read in this series, so I'm quite sure I'm not getting all the subtleties of it, but it was an easy, enjoyable read. Rather too stuffed full with characters, perhaps, in that they were all rather thinly drawn. It says on the cover "A Tale of Langdon St. Ives" and I must say he was the most cipher-like of the lot, nearly entirely devoid of personality.

That being said, there were some lovely creepy images in here, the severed heads being kept alive by fungi the chief of them.
