Foreword by the Author

I've decided that the prospect of running my blog AND my novel on the same site are TOO MUCH for one mere mortal. Were I able to, I would scrap my largely unread and unloved blog in favour of my (as yet) unfinished but much loved series of cosmic horror novellas. As it stands I have two, but unedited and full of corrections and changes that are begging to be made, but there are too many bits and pieces on my blog I would like to keep.
Also, these things are free.

I'll be uploading chapter by chapter re-writes of my first book here, and the companion discussion piece on my wordpress site as and when I can. If people are really interested I will patreon it and do regular uploads, but if you're not bothered or vocal then I'll get round to it when I get round to it.

Until then, fair readers, I hope you're doing well and that you enjoy this, a mild distraction and devout wish that there was some method and plan to the horrific political and cultural swamp we inhabit.

Prelude – The Light Was Mesmeric

A Dark Blue Sky Prelude – The Light Was Mesmeric Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a madman I hear the voices when I’m dreaming, I can hear them say – Kansas, Carry on My Wayward Son @Saj_balla Hey  @killer_Art19  where r u bro? need to talk! @killer_Art19 @Saj_balla  wifi only here, with  @am_Rf_ru  will call tonight @Saj_balla @killer_art19 @am_RF_ru  need ur help, call me asap Arthur Killaine sat astride the worn leather sofa leg, staring at the screen of his mobile phone. The Wi-Fi strength strong, but as always as soon as he walked into Reese’s apartment he lost all phone signal, which Art put down to steel bars and concrete in the walls. He’d once read an article online explaining how you got these “dead air spaces” in older buildings when the wrong materials were used, and in Reese Finnago’s apartment, all the connectivity had to come from without and routed within....

Chapter 1 - Marked Indelibly

PART ONE Chapter 1 – Marked indelibly A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell As rice grains and roses fall at your feet – My Chemical Romance, Drowning Lessons When they were 11 years old, twins Sajan and Raveena Thapa had moved from Rochdale to South Manchester, leaving behind their cousins, close friends and schoolmates so their father could start a new job as the headmaster of the local secondary school. The twins now looked back at their time in Rochdale with rose tinted glasses, the memories they had were of friends and of good times, but their parents Talwar and Garima Thapa remembered things slightly differently. A time marked indelibly by thinly veiled racism, a time of scraping by and a time of tension in a home built for 4 but holding 6. Talwar Singh Thapa and his four children, the eldest brother Shoorveer, daughter Katha and the young twins Raveena and Sajan had left their small and cramped home and moved into a much larger house in a town on the inner side of the ring...

Chapter 4 - The Blonde Boy

Chapter 4 – The Blonde Boy You should make amends with you If only for better health, But if you really want to live Why not try, and make yourself – Incubus, Make Yourself Thomas Prince had not forgotten the two boys, nor would he. His time in seclusion had left him in a foul temper, and when he was liberated from his confinement into the corridors again he was looking for someone to release the pent up temper on. The squad had quickly fallen in line behind him as he haunted the west wing of the school, shoulder barging his way through crowds and tripping younger students, his preferred self-transportation. Uniforms we compulsory at the school, dark trousers and white shirts for the boys, skirts opinioal for the girls. Navy and red stripes ties were part of the uniform, with an optional blazer. The Squad flouted the uniform rules in the small and petty ways the unimaginative will; trainers and untucked shirts, ties worn loose and dark jeans instead of the trousers ...
