Sybarite Among the Shadows

It is June 1936, and DylanThomas surprises Victor Neuburg, his former editor, with a visit. Dylan has had a sinister encounter in a West End pub. This launches an adventure whose backdrops are the Surrealist Exhibition, the pubs of Fitzrovia and clubs of Soho, and whose characters, some of the most celebrated of the period. The foreground is a fatal reunion. In walking again in the shadow of the Beast, however, Neuburg not only has to confront the actual demons of his past, but also Aleister Crowley's current links with MI5 and the plot that would change history.
