Festival of the Ghost

Prizewinner in New Welsh Writing Awards 2021 Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting 'Compelling... humorous and tightly plotted, with a superb sense of urban space' – Gwen Davies, adjudication, New Welsh Writing Awards 2021 A grieving young man living with OCD discovers he can witness the events of the past. While searching for his recently deceased sister's thesis, he strives to avoid the attention of its subject, a religious sect devoted to The Ripper's Welsh double, 'the Butcher of Butetown'. Set in contemporary Cardiff, this diverse, pacey, high-concept time-warp crime novella explores themes of violence, ritual and alternative realities, while it seeks to honour the victims of serial killers and challenge the way that some have become part of the tourism industry.
