The Dark Missions of Edgar Brim is a gothic horror trilogy set in the Victorian era. Edgar Brim is a young man haunted by fear, who discovers that the monsters from classic horror literature are not just fictional. He must confront creatures inspired by the works of Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and other gothic writers.
Peacock leans into the horror elements more than in his Sherlock Holmes books, creating an atmospheric series that mixes literary history with genuine scares. The trilogy is complete at three books and works best read in order, as Edgar’s story builds across all three volumes.
