About this audiobook
Beneath the thunder of a London electric railway shed, cruelty, faith, and machinery collide. James Holroyd, a hard-drinking chief electrician, torments his migrant assistant, Azuma-zi. Isolated and mesmerized by the colossal dynamo’s unceasing roar, Azuma-zi exalts the machine as a living god hungry for blood. When abuse turns to revelation, the shed becomes a temple—and a killing ground.
In this vivid performance, Helen Kamminga brings H. G. Wells’s dark industrial vision to life, evoking the hiss of steam, the drone of coils, and the mounting dread as devotion turns to violence. Part psychological horror, part grim parable of empire and the worship of power, The Lord of the Dynamos builds with hypnotic inevitability toward sacrifice and retribution—and a final, shocking communion with the current itself.
A gripping short classic for fans of weird fiction, Victorian Gothic, and technological terror.
