‘If you had not already realised it, this is a very strange house you are come to.’

The Scions of the House of Werth are all born normal. It is what happens afterwards that sets them apart.

It is not easy being the most supernatural family in England. Nell talks to the dead; Lord Werth is too often to be found out in the churchyard at the dead of night; and the less said about Lord Bedgberry, the better.

Only Miss Gussie Werth has missed out on the family curse. She sups on chocolate, not blood; she's blissfully oblivious to spectres (except for Great-Aunt Honoria, of course); and she hasn't the smallest inclination to turn into a beast upon the full moon, and go ravening about the countryside. 

But there's more to the Wyrde than meets the eye. When a visit to a neighbouring family goes spectacularly, deliciously wrong, Gussie's ideas about her own nature undergo a swift and serious change. 

Far from being the most ordinary of the bunch, she may just prove to be the most disastrous Werth of them all...

Refined Regency manners meet gothic comedy to delightfully absurd effect in Wyrde and Wayward, a fresh new series from the author of Modern Magick and the Malykant Mysteries.

House of Werth

Wyrde and Wayward

Charlotte E. English brings her trademark quirky humour to another mad Regency romp — with the strangest family in England…

'I don't know quite how it has come about, but we appear to have developed a corpse.'

It’s winter at the Werth residence, and someone has turned up dead.

Not that this is unusual. There’s Great-Aunt Honoria on the premises, after all.

Only this corpse is freshly dead, and nobody knows how the lady came to be leaking blood all over Lady Werth's best parlour.

The disastrous Miss Gussie confesses herself delighted, for nothing enlivens a dull week in February like a mysterious murder.

And the culprit really ought to be discovered, for the circumstances suggest Lord Bedgberry might have had something to do with it…

With what passes for Theo's life on the line, and good carpets in need of preservation, the situation is dire.

But can any mere murderer hold their own against the ruthless House of Werth?

The dark and devious Werths return for another crazy caper, this time with homicide! More dead bodies (ambulatory); more severed heads (talkative); and more wit and mischief (abundant). It's time to find out what Gussie did next…

‘When it comes to the Wyrde, there is no such thing as harmless. Every single one of us is a walking disaster.’

Winter has come to Werth Towers, and brought a deal of trouble with it.

Not that any of it is the fault of Miss Gussie Werth. To be a one-woman catastrophe might be seen as a misfortune, but really, there can be no hope of a cure. 

What with murderous Books on the rampage, Lady Maundevyle brewing plans for Christmas, and a couple of dragons on the loose, a quiet life is not likely to be had. 

Still, in times of crisis, there is always Lord Felix. The disreputable old revenant might have a few odd ideas; but you’re at Werth Towers, now. The merely unusual comes as a matter of course.

Welcome to the strangest family in Regency England. Find out just what Gussie did next...

Welcome to the Grand Masquerade Ball for the Wyrde…and Wondrous!

It’s time to party like it’s 1820, and you know what that means. Rout cakes and punch, satins and silks, and flirting on the balcony under a star-washed sky. Decorous. Genteel. Lovely.

Nobody knows who’s throwing this bash, but who cares? It’s the party of the century, and everyone who’s anyone is going to be there.

Including, astonishingly, the Werths. Famous recluses they may be, but who can resist a mystery and a waltz?

Not that everyone’s on their best behaviour. There’s a jewel thief in the wings with an eye for diamonds, and somebody’s been mad enough to turn Gussie loose, to boot. 

It’s going to be a party to die for. Hopefully not literally, but with the Werths, you never know…

The weird and wonderful Werths are back — and letting their hair down in style! WARNING, this adventure contains: cotillions and cravats (complicated); jewels and jokes (scintillating); and the undead and the unwed (misbehaving, as usual). Fetch your dance card and your shoe-roses and join the fray…
