Book excerpt: A reimagining of the life of the poet-painter William Blake. Set in 1790, at the onset of The Industrial Revolution, William suffers from the death of his beloved younger brother, Robert. Catherine (Kate) Blake attempts to comfort her husband, but cannot dispel his grief. During this spell of anxiety, William is visited by an ominous creature: The Ghost of a Flea. The Flea reveals a vested interest in William's spiritual well-being -- the result of an unorthodox wager. Will William triumph over The Flea's sinister meddling? Or will he fall victim to The Flea's corruption?
