Few writers expose darkness as well as Alex Sinclaire. And he certainly cast a light on and in a human being utterly destroyed by life in Paraffin Lamp.
“Packy” should not be on the streets. He is violent and rotten to the vanishing point of his soul. And yet he is “one of us”–which makes him obscene and strangely beautiful.
It comes with a Warning, but if you are having Goose for the holiday it may be an ironic advisory.

We have a number of dark things in LS Towers but I think in a scramble this one is going to find its way up there very near the top if not on the pinnacle. Brutal, viscious, bloody and altogether stunning. Great writing, absolutely great. dd

No matter how many times you meet this guy he is guaranteed to scare the hell out of you.
Brilliant and as anti Xmas Eve as can be hoped for!

’Horror adjacent’ as I’m told the kids today might say! Visceral to the point of bile in the mouth inducing but also brilliantly written in a way that can’t help but invoke some feelings of empathy – and not just for that poor goose!

Hi Alex,
You are one of my favourite writers on the site.
The darkness in your writing brightens my day!!
I don’t think anyone can write the way that you do.
It is an absolute pleasure to read your work!!!!
All the very best to you and yours over the holidays.
