Stickleback
A dickensian London filtered gently through a smattering of Lovecraft, as twisted gangsters vie for power in a world of dark magic and fantasy.
Edginton's "Wheel of Worlds" multiverse has several narrative links here. Sir William Ashbless (owner of the White Hart-Line shipping company) is also a character in Leviathan, and the main characters of Stickleback are directly referenced in Karl Toten's "Wheel of Worlds" speech in Ampney Crucis.
The strongest links are with The Red Seas, which also features The Temple of Mithras, home to the Brotherhood of the Book. Here, the locale is manned by Professor Orlando Doyle, whose (first) counterpart in The Red Seas serves as a key antagonist. Both worlds have resurrection tank technology in use by Doyle.
