Who was the real architect of the Gunpowder Plot? Who was the first
person to wear a Guy Fawkes mask? Why was Shakespeare's Dark Lady
dark? These and many other questions are answered in Graham
Holderness's new novel, which combines historical fiction,
psychological mystery and supernatural thriller in a highly
original and imaginative re-telling of the Gunpowder Plot. It is
1604. The Gunpowder Plotters are tunnelling under the palace of
Westminster, and confront an immovable obstacle. Guy Fawkes travels
to Europe to fetch help, and brings back more than he bargained
for. Who is the mysterious Dark Lady? Who is the man in the mask?
Why is London over-run by a plague of vampires, and who is going to
defeat them? From a Westminster vault to a Transylvanian mine, from
the crypt of Lambeth Palace to the under-stage of the Globe
theatre, Black and Deep Desires takes the reader on a tour of
historical, psychological and mythical underworlds, delving deep
into some of history's unexplored corridors, into the secret
thoughts of Catholic terrorists, and into the dark wellsprings of
Shakespeare's poetry. In Black and Deep Desires Graham Holderness
combines the expertise of an internationally-recognised Shakespeare
scholar, the narrative flair of his 2001 novel The Prince of
Denmark, and the poetic sensibility that won his verse collection
Craeft a Poetry Book Society award.
