description: "I am a watchdog. My name is Snuff. I live with my master Jack outside of London now. I like Soho very much at night with its smelly fogs and dark streets. It is silent then and we go for long walks. Jack is under a curse from long ago and must do much of his work at night to keep worse things from happening. I keep watch while he is about it. If someone comes, I howl."Snuff has other work, which is just as important: he has to keep watch on the Thing in the Circle, the Thing in the Wardrobe, and the Things in the Mirror. And October is a particularly busy month for Snuff, with Halloween approaching...A Night in the Lonesome October. A charming and compelling novel of mystery and fantasy, horror and humour, from the author of the award-winning Amber series.
