Albion's Dark Veil: The Continuing Adventures of Peter Van Melsen, P. I.

Weird things dwell in the hidden corners of Britain: haunted dolls, cunning shapeshifters, monstrous owls, and mad magicians. And there are weird places, too. Beyond the veil of the waking world, lie realms of secrets, domains of madness.
So continues the saga, of Peter Van Melsen...
The tall, gaunt and mysterious Van Melsen was born out of Ian's love of occult detective fiction-Algernon Blackwood's John Silence and William Hope Hodgson's Thomas Carnacki being among his favourite paranormal investigators.
The second volume of stories chronicles the ongoing exploits of the peculiar P. I., as he continues to tread the road less travelled.
