Dandy: A Higher State of Nonchalance

by NMH Laight

"Is anybody there?" Long time widowed friends, Alice and Margaret, spend the night dabbling with an Ouija board, unknowingly disturbing the spirit of Dandy and unlocking a decades old mystery in their neighbourhood. Dandy Burdock, a latchkey pauper born in the slums of 1950's London, leads a simple life until his teenage bubble is shattered by the murder of his mother. Becoming the author of his own destiny, he struggles to find his place in society whilst hiding away in a backstreet pub with his friend and father figure, Cornish Marcus. Secrets and lies soon track Dandy down, forcing him to make a decision that will plague him both in life, and death.

[Sylvia Warman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great as well as speedy read. A very different take on the traditional ghost story. Set in London between the mid 20th and mid 21st Centuries. Refreshing different and well worth reading.
