Роберт Рэнкин: The Fandom of the Operator

Young hero or anti-hero Gary Cheese grows up in a warped 1950s Brentford with two main interests: death, and the Lazlo Woodbine private-eye novels (see Waiting for Godalming) by PP Penrose. When this revered author dies, it s only logical that Gary and his bestest friend Dave should plan to crash the wake and reanimate him with voodoo.
