[edit] Synopsis
The story, an early example of what became known as steampunk, tells the story of Sebastian O, a young flamboyant assassin in a Victorian era London and his attempts to track down whoever condemned him to prison for his moral crimes.
Trained as an assassin, the world-traveling Sebastian belongs to the Club de Paradis Artificiel, which included the lesbian George, the pederast Abbe, and Sebastian's current nemesis, Lord Theo Lavender. While certainly morally unsound (he shoots a police officer in cold blood and has his butler feed it to cats) Sebastian is nonetheless a sympathetic character as he tracks down the whereabouts of Lavender, who betrayed him and had Sebastian locked up in Bedlam for offending the Victorian morals.
