One eye grey is the first of a planned series of Penny Dreadfuls for the 21st Century that retell London folklore and ghost stories in a modern setting. A goose in Southwark is the second section in which a journalist gets a real knee trembler, a politician some moral instruction from the past and a lady learns not to look a gift horse in the mouth, or anywhere else. There are also odd events in London after Midnight and the ghostly steps of a murder re-enacted in the Brother's Field as well as altogether stranger movements in the junkie ballet of Camden Town. Finally what dread thing could drive a man to tire of London and therefore, according to Doctor Johnson, life itself?
