The DANNY Quadrilogy 3: The Changeling

DANNY Quadrilogy #3

by Chancery Stone

DANNY Volume 3 brings the Quadrilogy to its sad (near) conclusion. Going back in time to the 1970s, and thus bringing the story full circle, the Jackson Moore clan is back - ALL of them! Now you can see how it all began, and find out the true story of Danny & John, the real events behind Ian's crafty chicanery, and what really happened that day in the hayloft. Join the boys in their last complete adventure. The very best, and most revealing, one of all - growing up...

About the author

Chancery Stone likes wading about in darkness. She always has.

Equally well, she loves the magical powers of redemption, particularly self-redemption. She has a particular fondness for heroes (of either sex) who don’t let anyone fuck with them. This does not involve kick-boxing, vampirism, government agencies or a sociopathic knowledge of firearms. Instead this involves going their own way, in their own time, to their own tune and realising that if God is watching it’s only to see if you’re one of the smart ones.

Chancery Stone was born half a lifetime ago in a quaint Scottish fishing hamlet known as East Kilbride, where she would run wild and untrammelled about the hills, picking heather and singing in the Gaelic. In her spare time, between making moss dyes and raising nursling quails, she ran a child sex club. She was a child herself at this time, of course, and therefore has managed to evade the long arm of the law.

At least thus far.

The Dirty Club had a simple remit: sex, sex and more sex. Limited as it was by her age and ignorance, this chiefly involved urolagnia, exhibitionism, voyeurism, humiliation, bondage, homosexuality, frottage, fingering, nudism, paedophilia, ritualistic power games, domination, bullying, more humiliation and more urolagnia. In fact, altogether too much urolagnia.

She was outed several times – by children to other children, and by adults who really didn’t like that sort of thing. Driven underground at the age of twelve she became a sad academic recluse and took up reading savage and horrific literature and absolutely anything with sex in it.

Then there was wider reading. And yet more reading. And sick three-novels-a-day-habit style reading. And a lot of theatre. And then back to sex again – sex and more sex – extended by now to contain the more missionary and conventional forms thereof.

Eventually she got sick of reading (but, somehow, never of sex) and decided to write instead, and then all of this life-strangely-lived started to spiral out of her, backwards, onto paper.

We expect that once the DANNY Quadrilogy™ is finally done she will turn out some very interesting books in the vein of “Moss Dyeing for Beginners“ and “Quail Baby, Fly Away Home.”

And after that there will be death.

Jesus what a story! Shed some tears. One more novella length story and then completely done with the Danny quad-trilogy. I'll miss you Danny! And your crazy sick twisted ass family lol

I liked this book much better than the previous one. It told us what happened to John and Danny after the events of the last book and also gave the reader much of the background information of events that happened before the beginning of the first book in the series. I was disappointed that the author didn't fill in how John and Danny got from the predicament they were in at the end of Danny 2.3 Road Movie. How did they get from a foundering boat with only Danny and John left alive on it to being the owners of a farm in Italy? No explanation was given. There are still so many questions about who are the parents of John, Ian and Danny. I thought we were finally being given what really happened, but then at the end were left to wonder if even what we were told was the truth. It's obvious that the Jackson Moore family is very deeply screwed up. The incest, and child abuse go back for at least one generation. It's no wonder that they are all messed up. John and Danny seem to both have some sort of Antisocial Personality Disorder. When Danny told John that George Semple had been badly beaten and robbed, I thought " John did it in a fit of jealousy" and was convinced of this until Danny admitted that he had done it and had, in fact, killed Semple. But why did he do this? Danny's and John's actions sometimes make no sense, but I guess, considering their messed up psyche, it's no wonder. I'm hoping the final book 4 of the series will have some answers, but I'm not holding out too much hope for this. I still find this series to be a fascinating read.
