Dear Reader,

One of the reasons I joined Tundra Books in 2011 was Shane Peacock. An avid fan of his acclaimed Boy Sherlock Holmes books, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to edit the � nal volume in that series and, two years later, to begin working with him on a hugely exciting new trilogy.

With � e Dark Missions of Edgar Brim, Shane has traded period mystery for gothic horror, but what hasn’t changed is his brilliant and clever reinvention of some of the most famous characters in literature and history—and his ability to perfectly conjure the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the Victorian era. He immerses us into windswept, gloomy Scottish moors, pulls us onto the stage of London’s famed Lyceum � eatre and brings us face to face with one of the greatest horror novelists of all time, and some of the most terrifying monsters in English literature. At the bloody beating heart of this novel is an unlikely hero you can’t help but root for and a universal story about fear and � nding the courage to stand up for yourself, whether it is against a schoolyard bully or a bloodthirsty beast.

So turn o� the light, check under your bed and start turning the pages ... I guarantee you won’t stop till the � nal hair-raising sentence.

Best wishes,

Tara Walker Publisher Penguin Random House Canada Children’s Publishing Group
