"A chilling and visionary tale set in 1950s London, The Recycling of Nathan Scrzimshaw is a literary psychic thriller that explores the boundaries of consciousness, identity, and the paranormal.
Eighteen-year-old Nathan Scrzimshaw struggles to make sense of his life under the stern gaze of his father and the strange guidance of enigmatic outsiders. Haunted by a mysterious glow, Nathan finds himself entangled with the spirited Alice Argzand, the alluring Mayzee de Bruin, and the cryptic Danie — figures who draw him ever deeper into a web of displacement, transformation, and unsettling truths.
With eerie psychological twists and atmospheric detail, Draco Antics (Part 1 of the duology) introduces a world where time bends, reality falters, and human desire becomes the doorway to something beyond.
Fans of literary fiction with a supernatural edge — in the tradition of Shirley Jackson, Daphne du Maurier, and Kazuo Ishiguro — will be captivated by John Norman Cooper’s haunting novel, brought vividly to life through the resonant voice of Stephen Dalton."
