Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Traditional depictions of London at night have imagined a lawless orgy of depravity and pestilence. But is Britain’s capital after dark now as bland and unthreatening as an evening in any new provincial town?

Night Hauntsseeks to reclaim the mystery and romance of the city—to revitalize the great myth of London for a new century.
