She is from the small town of Browman, which is located near to the larger university city of Oxrow, home of Charity Michaels and Libby Hall (of Curse-Breaker fame)... Penny gets involved, often against her best interests, in a number of strange and mysterious events. She just wants to survive school, now a fancy academy, and get a few A levels... Penny's sisters, Alison and Catherine are also drawn into the terrors that inhabit the small English town, will they survive the horror... History seems to want her to play a role in the events to come as many different factions are drawn into the spiralling whirlpool of events that could be another end of the world, which is really awful if it happens on a Tuesday...

Book excerpt: The bestselling genre of Frankenfiction sees classic literature turned into commercial narratives invaded by zombies, vampires, werewolves, and other fantastical monsters. Too engaged with tradition for some and not traditional enough for others, these 'monster mashups' are often criticized as a sign of the artistic and moral degeneration of contemporary culture. These hybrid creations are the 'monsters' of our age, lurking at the limits of responsible consumption and acceptable appropriation. This book explores the boundaries and connections between contemporary remix and related modes, including adaptation, parody, the Gothic, Romanticism, and postmodernism. Taking a multimedia approach, case studies range from novels like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club series, to television programmes such as Penny Dreadful, to popular visual artworks like Kevin J. Weir's Flux Machine GIFs. Megen de Bruin-Molé uses these monstrous and liminal works to show how the thrill of transgression has been contained within safe and familiar formats, resulting in the mashups that dominate Western popular culture.

One day she receives a letter from the governor of the Bedlam madhouse requesting Finch's help to investigate the asylum's strange goings-on.
