The Silk Chambers

Thomas Sheppard takes jobs no one else will touch.

When a black-market dealer shows him an unusually large egg sac taken from a derelict factory on London's eastern fringe, the implication is clear. Something has claimed the deeper levels of the building for its own.

People have been disappearing from the surrounding streets. No bodies. No witnesses.

Sheppard goes in to end it.

What he finds is not a creature that meets its hunters in the open. It has mapped the darkness. It feels every footstep. And by the time the true shape of the territory becomes clear, the man who came to kill it is already inside its design.
