Synopsis

Something very strange has been happening in Warchester, and local pub singer Rik Suntan is about to have his doors of perception blown wide open. It seems that during the 1970s, Jimmy Page’s experiments with the occult wandered into the art of soulshifting – namely, swapping the souls of celebrity rivals with those of newborn babies in the Warchester maternity ward.

Obviously this news is a tad hard to swallow, and Rik’s got other problems on his plate – his regular slot doing Cliff Richards covers at the local nightclub is axed, and his girlfriend’s dumped him for a ginger bloke. But nothing is nearly as jaw-dropping as finding out he’s the reincarnation of David Bowie...

Reviews
Praise for Charlie Williams:

‘Gloriously funny stuff and so original that other writers must be gnashing their teeth in jealousy’ Guardian

‘To create a world with a genuinely dark and disturbing heart is tricky enough; to do this and be funny at the same time is nigh on impossible, but Charlie Williams pulls it off… like being smashed in the funny bone by a lump hammer’ Mark Billingham
