The tale I am compelled to recount concerns Charles Dickens, a man I once called friend, and the shadow that stole his tranquility, his vigor, and, dare I say, his very reason..."

For a century and a quarter, these words lay dormant, Wilkie Collins's clandestine script, now unveiled, beckoning us into the shadowed heart of Victorian London. We are drawn into Dickens's fevered hunt for a phantom, a presence known only as Drood.

Their pursuit will plunge them into a labyrinth of darkness: the city's hidden depths, where opium smoke mingles with the stench of the sewers, and ancient catacombs whisper secrets best left undisturbed. What they unearth will shatter the bonds of their companionship, pushing them both to the precipice of madness.

And, within the gloom, something else stirs... something far more sinister.

...Murder.
