The Hangman's Hitch. The inn at the end of your world. Where satanic practice is the order of the day and your soul required to pay for your stay...This is a dark and thrilling tale that captures the tragedy of a man forsaken by all...but one.After the humiliation of refusing to duel, Frederick Abbotsby Feltsham finds himself so far from God that the Devil's hand seems Heaven sent. The Hangman's Hitch, an 18-century inn and portal to Hell, is offered as sanctuary by the equivocal Joseph Black, Devil in all but name. Here the slippery path to evil is easy even if Frederick's vanity throughout would have it otherwise. Murder, manipulation and cannibalism are offered as daily fodder, and the utter sophistication and stealth like menace of Joseph Black, make all seem palatable, preferable, essential. Dangerous and unusual romances bloom, but with the Devil intent on total conquest can Frederick's lost and desperate soul find eternal salvation?
