British author Adam Nicke blends darkromanticism and Gothic themes to create a chaotic and humorous exploration of con artists and quackery set in 18th century Wales. The story follows three conmen pretending to be men of science as they navigate a world filled with body-snatchers, fairground sideshows, and medieval superstitions. Full of incompetence and greed, their antics are driven by deceit and ill-fated schemes, led by the charismatic charlatan "Doctor" Ronald Stumpf.
