Only... Charlie has been a little off lately. When Mary tries to find out what is bothering her, she finds herself thrown into a dark version of London with no one in it. No one in it but her and the monster that wants to take her eye, that is. Eventually, she is saved by a strange man in black and swears a contract with him in order to return to her normal everyday life.

* {{Expy}} - Almost every character is named and/or based on, with varying degrees of specificity, an author who was at least alive during the Victorian period. The protagonist lifts most of Agatha Christie's maiden name, Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller. Other characters whose names are inexact lifts of actual literary figures include Angelica Derleth (August Derleth) and Howard Philips (take a guess - okay, okay, H.P. Lovecraft). Many others simply take up author names (and backstory elements) in their entirety. Josef Capek did, in fact, coin the word "robot".
