Alive or dead, a friend is still a friend. When 11 year old Robyn seeks refuge in the abandoned cemetery he meets new allies, as well as new enemies. A story of first love, fighting back, and dead people. Robyn spends much of his waking life either running from, or being beaten up by, the Brenyon gang. He badly needs a friend, and finds two. Schoolgirl Mo seems more alive than anyone he has ever met, whilst steam-circus proprietor John Valentine has clearly been dead a long time. But Robyn finds new enemies too, including the long-since-hanged but nevertheless still murderous butcher's boy, Hieronymus Pale Blades. In this first volume of a richly textured new fantasy series, Robyn looks back to a childhood turned upside down by his discovery of 'Everyday Life Amongst The Dead'. Volume Two is scheduled to appear in 2019 and promises to be even darker as it revisits Robyn in young adulthood: still troubled by the invisible dead and tortured by the reality of moving from childhood adventure to adult peril. This is the first novel from S R Redfern, a pseudonym of an established factual author.
