"Keeps the reader in a state of tension... a Machiavellian tale perfectly narrated... This book is for all the romantic horror lovers in the most disturbing way." — TBM Horror Experts
Gothic Horror meets Splatterpunk when the Earl Exenchester's footman unexpectedly quits his position. The young, puritanical and fastidious William Roxby is hired as a replacement; but what seems like William's dream job becomes a descent into madness when he learns that the Exenchester's teenage son is being barbarously abused by his cunning but psychotic governor... and no one believes it but him. Inspired by the unsettling works of the Marquis de Sade, this riveting yarn of the 18th century depicts a nightmarish London filled with perversion, deviancy, murder, and a psychotic love as only erAto can write.
Not for the faint of heart, STEPS OF THE MALEFACTOR is the bloody adventure that fans of twisted horror have been awaiting. A prequel to The Virgin and the Bull, William's behavior echoes the love triangles that Francis Exenchester will later live to endure.
