Highgate Whispers A London Gothic Novel by Anthony David “In the city of graves, the dead do not rest — they remember.” From the gaslit avenues of Victorian London comes a haunting companion to The Camden Vampire . When historian Oliver Samuel returns to the shadowed terraces of Highgate, he finds the city changed — and so is he. The voices of the departed call to him through mist and marble, their secrets inked beneath the ivy of the old cemetery. Each step through the fog leads deeper into a labyrinth of memory, obsession, and the quiet tyranny of the Pale Assembly. About the Story Highgate Whispers is a gothic mystery told through Oliver Samuel’s private journals — a chronicle of spectral London where faith, folklore, and reason collide. Among crypts and catacombs, he uncovers the lingering echo of Lady Lacroix, the Painted Lady of Camden, and the growing shadow that binds every corner of the capital’s underworld. As night draws its shroud across the city, the boundary between historian and witness begins to crumble. To write is to awaken — and some histories refuse to stay buried.
