Kooky

by Gary Murphy

Skinhead Paul ‘Kooky’ Cooke has a secret… But so does the Pilsner house at the foot of his street. Too many secrets, in fact, replete with rumours of ex-German serviceman Pilsner still haunting the rickety old structure – a spirit which, as in the past, was discovered to be murderous… It is really just an accident when Kooky mows down those two kids in his car. He was drunk - that’s excuse number one. But he will quickly run out of excuses now he is a murderer on the run, playing the waiting game. And haunted…yes, haunted and tracked ceaselessly…by those two damned twins, Rose and Peter, who pursue a ruthless agenda of their own… Above all else, Kooky needs to stop and re-evaluate matters and decide what he is to do in this damn life. He knows he can only run for so long…whilst his lawless neo-Nazi gang, those he now suddenly wishes to cast off, seem to just tighten their grip and refuse to let go. But can he discover the evils of the Pilsner Place before it discovers his? Perhaps those which lurk inside have known all along.
