Welcome to episode 9 of This Might Sound Strange. Today’s guest is beloved indie author and BookTok creator Inigo Mort (@inigohorror). Inigo’s first full-length novel, ANGELS OF LONDON, follows a sheltered young man named Tom Tremaine as he attempts to find his missing sister. It’s 1721, and Tom finds himself swept up in London’s complicated gay subculture, which is under threat from political persecution, a serial killer…and maybe something supernatural, too.
