The Aether always held the universe together… but in the nineteenth century, it just might tear it apart.
London, 1865.
Betrayed by his closest friend and rapidly drinking through his inheritance, sometime adventurer Augustus Merriwether Potts returns home to a world being torn apart by supernatural terrors.
A chance meeting with a mysterious stranger thrusts Augustus and his brother into a terrifying underworld of demons, ghosts, golems and clockwork men. An underworld controlled by a demon known as Andras, the God of Lies.
Andras has a plan: to bring Hell on Earth using the power of the Aether, a terrifying otherworld populated by creatures from beyond humanity’s worst nightmares. With the world’s governments in thrall to the demons, Augustus and his friends find themselves in the front line of a battle to save humanity against all the odds.
Dickens’ London has never seemed so scary. The Infernal Aether is the first book in a gothic fantasy series which has been described as “no-holds-barred”. If you like page turners with unpredictable twists and chills then you’ll love Peter Oxley’s The Infernal Aether.

Praise for The Infernal Aether
“Epic, Epic, Epic, this story was so good I couldn’t put it down and was sad that I reached the last page.”
—Aviar Savijon, Goodreads
“This no-holds-barred story features golems, bizarre devices, clockwork entities, an airship, soul-suckers, and more (including a cameo by Charles Dickens) and is told with wit and a touch of humor.”
—Kathy Burford, Amazon.com
“An awesome read. The author definitely has a handle on his art as a writer. Do yourself a favor and read it and everything he writes.”
—Alan McDonald, Amazon.com
“I liked the way the story was told almost as much as the story itself.”
—Tommi, Amazon.com
“Steampunk meets sci-fi fantasy horror with a great deal of magic weaving it all together in a real page-turner. With unpredictable twists and characters that I loved and loathed in equal measure it was a thoroughly enjoyable book which I devoured in one sitting. I can’t wait to see what happens next.”
