What to expect
Meet Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead.
After inheriting a highly specialised, and highly peculiar, medical practice, Dr Helsing spends her days treating London's undead for a host of ills: vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights and entropy in mummies. Although barely making ends meet, this is just the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta's dreamed of since childhood.
But when a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human undead and alike, Greta must use all her unusual skills to keep her supernatural clients - and the rest of London - safe.
'Shaw balances an agile mystery with a pitch-perfect, droll narrative and cast of loveable misfit characters'
Shelf Awareness
'An imaginative, delightfully droll debut'

Critics Review
-
This book is a joy to read, unlocking every bit of delicious promise in the premise
B&N SCI-FI & FANTASY BLOG -
A darkly delicious adventure featuring a quirky new heroine. Strange Practice breathes new life into the undead
James Bennett, author of CHASING EMBERS -
Strange Practice surprises and delights. It’s completely different from anything I’ve read before. It ticks so many boxes: action, mystery, suspense, an exciting and different world adjacent to our own to name but a few. But the greatest elements of the book are the characters. They shine
BOOKBAG -
Strange Practice is a book that really enchanted me from the very first page . . . impossible to put down . . . I can’t imagine much that would please my bookwormish self more than reading more about Greta Helsing, and her life as a doctor to the supernatural and their various unexpected ailments . . . Strange Practice is a homerun in every aspect
BOOKWORM BLUES -
A remarkably well-realised world and cast of characters . . . this was an absolute delight to read. I look forward to more time spent with Greta
FORBIDDEN PLANET -
