Guard Rail

"Will you be ready for me when I come, little one?" Innsbruck, 1875. For Charlotte Beaumont, a new job working on an Alpine railway seems just the ticket. But even before night falls on her first day working for the mysterious De Mons Institute, she finds herself in peril, confronting a waspish teacher and her wayward students, while beset by strange voices that whisper to her from the shadows and plant lurid thoughts into her mind. What should have been a routine expedition soon becomes a journey of sinful self-discovery as one by one the maidens she has been employed to protect surrender their innocence to the dark spirit that dwells in the mountains. As the night crowds in around her and the girls she has sworn to defend take turns to debauch themselves eagerly with a supernatural force she can neither see nor comprehend, Charlotte comes to the dreadful, inescapable realisation that the price she must pay to defend her young charges may be the highest price of all… Guard Rail is the latest standalone adventure in the Gothic Follies series, a darkly erotic tale of angels and demons, nervous governesses and eager young maidens.
