Reading Stephen Volk's remarkable short novel Leytonstone, with its patient, spare, expertly-paced evocation of the life and fears of a very young Hitchcock, you feel a very long way from the abyss, until, in its devastating last quarter, you come to realise just how close you have been to the drop throughout. "Peter Cushing was my first hero, and in my opinion Stephen Volk has done something heroic by putting the man who fought onscreen monsters at the heart of a very human drama. Sad, tinged with a palpable sense of loss, beautifully written, and blessed with an unerring eye for crucial detail, Whitstable is a story to savour. 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars.

In , a grieving Peter Cushing meets a young boy on the beach and is drawn into a melancholic and terrifying mystery.A book trailer for the Stephen Volk n. Volk has written fiction in the horror and ghost story genres; some of these stories were collected in the book Dark Corners (). In , Volk wrote two serials of the series Ghosts. Volk's fiction often features real people as characters: the novella Whitstable () features the actor Peter Cushing, while Leytonstone () deals with a young Alfred Hitchcock. [4]. In his longing for Helen, Cushing becomes a true gothic hero, and 'Whitstable', Stephen Volk's new novella from Spectral Press, becomes not only an essential purchase for his admirers- of which there are legion- but a potential modern classic. There are no ghosts or vampires here, no graveyards disturbed.
