Description
An alternate steampunk history where ghosts and demons haunt the streets of Boston while a detective, a spirit photographer, and one of the world's most brilliant scientists work together to keep the citizens safe from supernatural threats.
The year is 1895. Imagine an alternate Steampunk history where ghosts and demons are a normal part of life. Families known as “Great Houses” control the economy of the Great States of America and the middle - and lower - class Irish’s sole purpose is not to only serve them, but to rid their lives of supernatural beings. This is the story of an ex - Pinkerton detective, a spirit photographer, and a genius scientist who work together to battle these supernatural forces. They are the Boston Metaphysical Society. Wish them luck. They are going to need it.
