Description

Stanley Suspect is not your ordinary paranormal investigator. Living alone in London with his three ghosts, this young and moody transgender man who hates nothing more than Christmas and carolers can exorcise a poltergeist or have tea with your deceased relatives, and perhaps snatch your wallet, too, but his life lacks something. Tormented by frightening dreams about his haunted childhood home and a murder that happened there, he is waiting for fortune or a great adventure to come knocking on his door and help him escape his fears – and debts. And it does, when a beautiful clockmaker succubus who committed a crime seeks his help. But as they flee to Scotland together and encounter strange and magical creatures, so does Stanley’s past catch up to him, and he discovers the crimes committed by him and his father, and his dark destiny… Liar, crook, charming, Stanley Suspect will take you into his upside-down reality, where demons and ghosts may be the lesser of problems…
