Your home's been attacked. Your dad's in an asylum. You're running for your life. And there's nowhere to hide. You've stumbled on the city's greatest secret: Darkside. Incredibly dangerous and unimaginably exciting, Darkside is ruled by Jack the Ripper's children - a place where nightmares walk the streets. You think you're in trouble now, but your problems have just begun...©2007 Tom Becker. (P)2008 Bolinda Publishing Science Fiction & Fantasy

Beschreibung von Audible

14-year-old Jonathan Starling can't remember his mother and is neglected by his father, who spends most of his time locked in his study. After his dad is hospitalized for one of his frequent illnesses, Jonathan gains access to his study, where he learns about the existence of Darkside: an underground London ruled by monsters, vampires, and the children of Jack the Ripper. Soon Jonathan realizes he must enter Darkside to save his father, and his daring adventures begin. Performer Colin Moody narrates this imaginative, action-packed dark fantasy novel with sensitivity and distinction.

Kritikerstimmen

"Fourteen-year-old Jonathan Sterling's secretive father lies in a hospital, mad and sick. This sets Jonathan, a truant student, on a mission to discover his father's hidden past. References to 'the darkness' lead him to a library, where he meets Mary Anne, who has white skin, purple hair, and sedating perfume. She promises to lead him to Darkside, a hidden world beneath London. Colin Moody is chillingly convincing in this portrayal, and his narration becomes mysterious and forbidding as we follow Jonathan underground. Moody highlights Jonathan's desperation to understand, and then escape, the treacherous nineteenth-century world he finds there, which is peopled with vampires and ghouls. Particularly strong is Moody's growling depiction of a P.I. 'wereman' who nearly eats Jonathan before becoming his friend." (AudioFile Magazine)
