Gloom – The Secret Book of Odd & Ghostly Things – Volume One

A whimsical & delightfully odd hand-drawn limited edition full of detailed illustrations & snippets of ghostly goings-on & sneakery.

Hello! I’m Louisa and after years of sketching, illustrating, designing, pondering, endless cups of tea and filling more sketchbooks than I could point ten sticks at, the first book in my Gloom collection is now ready for printing! And you can help make that happen! 

Gloom – The Secret Book of Odd & Ghostly Things is full to the brim with illustrations and snippets about all sorts of ghostly goings-on and sneakery. And it has just the right mixture of creepiness, oddness, imagination and silliness for all ages to enjoy. It’s also jolly handy to have at hand should you ever find yourself in a ghostly pickle.

  • There’s frightfully handy advice about how to get rid of a Hobnail Boot Snail if it starts clomping on your roof at all hours of the night.
  • Hints about how to stay on the good side of aloof Bat Bonies.
  • A word of warning in the Tale of The Dirge of Never-Ending Pong.
  • Instructions on how to go about finding Ghost-for-a-Bit Brew, which can come in very handy indeed if you’re partial to a spot of ghostly sketching.
  • The short and sinister tale of The Bogglington Hole Stream.
  • as well as pages full of ghosts to watch out for.

And that’s only a hint of the weirdness that lurks inside.
