Published in the United Kingdom by Hodder Children's Books. Published in the United States by Chronicle Books. Cover illustration, © Leonid Gore . ' Long, long ago when the mountains were but hills and the ungirdled oceans were pools and meres, a vast darkness lay over eastern lands. Whilst on western shores the foundations of the three thrones were still part of the living rock and the Raith Sidhe had not grown to an eighth of their later strength, in the East a foulness reigned.' It is four years since the fall of Jupiter, but upon the Cutty Sark all is far from well. Thomas Triton, midshipmouse, is tormented by horrific visions of the past; of stormlashed seas, ferocious battles, lost cities and terrifying heathen gods. But now the time has come to confront the most chilling memory of his youth and a dark, dreadful secret. 'How could I not write an account of the early adventures of the midshipmouse? In the original trilogy, he was always keeping some dark secret back until we finally learn that somehow he was responsible for the death of his best friend, Woodget. With that in mind I set about compiling his history and writing his memoirs. From the beginning I knew it had to be an epic quest type of story and the enemy had to be something entirely different, that was how the idea of the Scales came into being - that frightening sect who worshipped the banished serpent god. I found their habit of ripping their skins off to be quite revolting and terrifying, but its a perfectly logical and necessary thing for them to do. Of course, we haven't seen the last of Simoon and I don't think its right for Thomas to end his days suffering with that terrible guilt - do you?' 'There were a couple of special guest cameo appearances in this book. We meet Morgan, shortly before his tail is hacked in half, and also a young ratmaiden who decides that the glamorous life of a fortune teller is for her. I'm always on the lookout for interesting and unusal names and have collected quite few I've yet to use. I took the name of the sea maiden, Zenna, from the daughter of a very nice librarian I met when I visited her school in Shropshire.' The Characters. Thomas Stubbs .

It is the backstory of Thomas Triton, revealing the dark secret of his past. Contents. Official description [ edit | edit source ] It is four years since the fall of Jupiter, but upon the Cutty Sark all is far from well. Thomas Triton, midshipmouse, is tormented by horrific visions of the past; of stormlashed seas, ferocious battles, lost cities and terrifying heathen gods. But now the time has come to confront the most chilling memory of his youth and a dark, dreadful secret. Summary [ edit | edit source ] Four years after the events of The Final Reckoning , midshipmouse Thomas Triton is troubled by memories of a traumatic incident in his youth that resulted in the death of his best friend. His wife Gwen suggests that it would make him feel better if he wrote down what was bothering him. Many years prior, Thomas is taken in by a kindly community of field mice after being caught in a snowstorm. There he meets Woodget Pipple, a little field mouse who becomes his close friend, and a beautiful maiden named Bess Sandibrook. Thomas falls deeply in love with Bess, but is unaware that Woodget has similar feelings for her. Stating that she loves Woodget, Bess gently rejects Thomas, only for them both to realise that Woodget has run away after mistakenly thinking he's getting in the way of their romance. Thomas vows to find Woodget, and catches up with him at a dock as a ship called the Calliope is getting ready to set sail. Thomas and Woodget meet a tough Irish mouse named Mulligan, who invites them to have a drink with him on the ship before he leaves. But they stay too long and to their dismay are stuck on the ship. The two become suspicious of Mulligan, who is evasive and will not let anyone see the contents of a satchel he always carries with him. The Calliope eventually crashes in a violent storm, killing most of its passengers. Mulligan washes ashore in Crete with Dimlon, a simple-minded young mouse Thomas and Woodget befriended during the voyage. Dimlon reveals himself to Mulligan as Dahrem Ruhar, an adept of the Scale, an evil cult that worships a reptile god called Suruth Scarophion. It is revealed that Mulligan has been carrying a piece of a jade egg sacred to the Scale, trying to prevent them from obtaining it and joining it with the other pieces, which would create a vessel into which Scarophion can be reborn. Thomas and Woodget survived the storm as well, and come onto the island in time to see a dying Mulligan, poisoned by the blades of Dahrem. He has carried the egg fragment with him and pushes it into the horrified Woodget's paws, telling him to take it to a place called Hara. Thomas and Woodget are discovered by an army of Indian mongooses who demand to know where they got the egg fragment from. After they explain the situation, the mongooses offer to take the two mice to Hara, their home city in India so they can speak to the sadhu and ask his advice. Dahrem, once again in the guise of Dimlon, comes along with them. Upon their arrival in Hara, Thomas, Woodget and mongoose Captain Chattan Giri go to see the Holy One, who also possesses a piece of the jade egg of Scarophion. In the night, the Scale arrive and launch a vicious attack on the city of Hara to steal the fragment. To everyone's shock, it is the sadhu himself who opens the gates for the Scale to enter. Dahrem attacks Woodget in the sadhu's chamber, demanding that he hand over the egg fragment Mulligan gave him. Thomas and the mongoose warrior Chattan hear the field mouse's screams and come to his rescue. Chattan engages in battle with Dahrem. The adept is killed, but not before poisoning Chattan with his blades. Faced with nowhere else to go, Thomas and Woodget decide to head to Singapore, where it is said that the jerboa prophet Simoon has journeyed. In a seedy bar called the Lotus Parlour, Thomas accidentally lets it slip to the bar's owner, Mother Lotus, that he and Woodget have the final egg fragment. Simoon is present and scolds the two mice for having walked directly into Scale territory. The bar is full of members of the cult (including Mother Lotus, the high priestess) who capture Thomas, Woodget, and Simoon and take them to their temple. The high priest joins the egg fragments together, and it appears Suruth Scarophion will be reborn. But as the reptilian form writhes within the newly created egg, it suddenly shrivels and dies. Simoon reveals that it was the plan all along to let the Scale obtain all the pieces of the egg, as he and other members of the Green Council like the sadhu knew it would ultimately be useless. The fragment held by Mulligan was periodically moved to different Green shrines, and thus gradually became a holy object. Cast from the egg, Scarophion's spirit enters a nearby statue in his image. Riding on its back, the enraged high priest chases Thomas, Woodget, and Simoon. The statue is destroyed when it crashes on a crag of rock, and Woodget kills the high priest to save Thomas's life. At the end of the journey, Thomas and Woodget are at a dock in Singapore waiting for a ship to take them back to England. An old beggar approaches them, but soon they discover that it is Mother Lotus, former high priestess of the Scale. She puts Thomas into a trance, during which he picks up Woodget and casts him into the water. Despite the field mouse's pleas, Thomas lets him presumably drown. Hours later, Thomas emerges from the trance and to his horror, remembers what he has done. He screams in anguish. In present day Hara, Chattan's sister Sobhan is taking her grandson to see the sadhu.

  • Yorkshire in the Gothic Imagination
    Yorkshire in the Gothic Imagination Yorkshire Gothic from 1847 to the present. Helena Dorothy Senior MA by Research University of York English December 2019 Abstract This thesis will consider the emergence and continuing popularity of what I term ‘Yorkshire Gothic’, a strand of Gothic writing which adapts some of the conventions of the Gothic tradition to Yorkshire settings. It divides up the geography of Yorkshire into three different kinds of space – rural, coastal, and urban – and it analyses two key texts under each heading. In the rural chapter, I will think about how Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847) and Ross Raisin’s God’s Own County (2008) draw inspiration from and Gothicize the setting of the Yorkshire Moors. In the coastal chapter, I will consider the role played by Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) in establishing Whitby’s Gothic legacy, and the ways in which Robin Jarvis’s The Whitby Witches (1991) draws upon, and adds to, this rich folkloric culture. Finally, in the city chapter I will think about two collections of short ghost stories: The Ghosts of York (1899), compiled by local historian William Camidge, and The Ghost Walk of York (1984), which differently present Gothic supernaturalism to their readers. Throughout these individual chapters, I will bring the later text into dialogue with the earlier, in the process thinking about how this reflection on precursor texts helps to create the ‘Yorkshire Gothic’ that is the object of my enquiry. 2 List of Contents Abstract Page 2 List of Contents Page 3 Declaration Page 4 Introduction Page 5 Chapter One Page 11 Chapter Two Page 41 Chapter Three Page 72 Conclusion Page 88 Bibliography Page 89 3 I declare that this thesis is a presentation of original work and I am the sole author.
