ELECTRICITY
in
‘Like Nick Hornby but better, with a backdrop of sci-fi that makes this one of the most real AND unreal stories I have ever enjoyed’
- review of the podcasted version of Electricity from the US iTunes Store
Aston Somerfield, casual smoker and part-time alcoholic, has travelled from Australia to London to find himself. He knows who he’s looking for: he’s seen him on the cover of the NME.
Drawn across oceans by fame and fate, Aston is keeping his diary empty to make sure he's available.
When a virtual stranger calls Aston a few hours before his death, fate catches up with him, derailing his barely-made plans. Amid a hundred boozy evenings and romantic deadends, a mystery unfurls.
Haunted by the ghost of someone he barely knew, Aston uncovers a different London, one of murder, ghosts, mysterious emails and the second big bang.
Seemingly as chaotic and random as the city it inhabits, Electricity evolves into a mystery bigger than the universe itself. Being of a somewhat useless persuasion, Aston does his best to ignore it.
