A True Drama

In Rafael Menton's, "A True Drama", an ageing actor, touring the UK in an Alan Ayckbourn production, comes face to face with a scenario that is as unbelievable as it is real at his lodgings in Guildford. His two-week - stay necessitated for the duration of the touring play - one that is going to prove far more enduring and far more demanding than his role in the play itself. Especially if the two strangely compelling Indian women, who are housekeeper and mistress at his lodgings, have their perverse and life-changing way. Believable occult fantasy and female-led fiction for those readers who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines. Rafael Menton is a UK-based Professor of English Literature with a retro passion for the early to mid-twentieth-century fiction of exotic and outré mystery, crime, suspense, horror & romance.
Mr Menton's wide-ranging literary tastes ranging from Doyle and Blackwood and on to Rohmer and Chandler, etc. As well as sometimes - times such as this - indulging in a more contemporary take of his own.
