While out procuring inventory, Dennis’s life changes forever when he chances upon a novel that shouldn’t exist; an entirely fictional book from inside another novel. The book hails from The Great When, a magical shadow-London, where reality blurs with fiction and concepts like Crime, Poetry and Riot are incarnated as mystical beings that stalk the streets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis discovery brings terrible danger, as the book’s presence leaves the doorway open between the two Londons, and The Great When must remain a secret. Soon Dennis finds himself in the city’s occult underbelly, negotiating sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers – some imaginary, some all too real, and all with plans of their own. If Dennis cannot return the book and close the gate, he risks dire repercussions...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeither London will ever be the same again.
