description: A parody of Hugh Conway's novel: "Dark Days."
marc508: Produced by David Widger
marc520: "Much Darker Days" by Andrew Lang is a satirical novel written in the late 19th century. This work offers a darkly comedic twist on the typical romantic tropes found in Christmas literature of its time, as it explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and the consequences of crime within the context of middle-class life. The story revolves around Basil South, a once-successful showman who falls for the enchanting Philippa, only to find himself in a tumultuous relationship with her mysterious husband, Sir Runan Errand. After a series of events involving betrayal and revenge, Philippa unwittingly kills Sir Runan and Basil becomes embroiled in a web of deception, attempting to navigate the chaos that ensues. As the narrative unfolds, accompanied by a cast of eccentric characters and absurd situations, Basil's attempts to shield Philippa from the law lead to further entanglements, which ultimately unravel in comedic and dramatic fashion, exposing the folly of his plans and the complexities of human morality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
