About This Book
THE DANNY QUADRILOGY is the four volume masterwork from Chancery Stone telling the epic story of the Jackson-Moores and spanning a truly awe-inspiring range of human emotions, told in a style that is so brave it borders on insane. Gleefully embracing everything from poetic Jacobean drama to perverse pornographic detail, it delves into territories so dark readers are left with a bad taste in their mouths and more than a soupcon of delicious forbidden pleasure. By turns ugly and repellent then lyrical and heart-wrenching, it leaves no room for manoeuvre, no middle distance, forcing us to either reject it outright or allow ourselves to be so seduced by it we are left trapped in a horrible addiction, craving more. Fortunately there is more. The highly revered and much reviled Volume 1 has now been joined by the long-awaited Volume 2 - The Revenant. Going into an altogether colder, darker and more forbidding territory, there can be no doubt that this new volume will excite as much love, fear and loathing as the first one. Six years have passed and Danny has unexpectedly returned, like a revenant visiting the scene of the crime, a ghost haunting his own grave. He has finally fulfilled Ian's prophecy and become the lost boy of his brother's old and favoured fairy tale, the Snow Queen. He is a dead man walking, the ice splinter now wedged so deeply inside his heart no-one can reach him. He repeatedly warns people of his own heartlessness, only for them to ignore him, heedlessly disregarding his honesty, believing they will be the one to raise him from the dead, their own Personal Jesus. Unfortunately, tortured Messiah or not, he consumes his new disciples with a numbing ferocity, sucking perversion and emotional sustenance from them like something long-dead desperately seeking heat, while they, blinded by the maimed beauty of his self-immolation at John's altar, are too slow to realise that touching his martyr's heart may well be beyond the capability of anyone living, and that something altogether more disturbing might be lurking behind his zealot's mission to embrace his darkling past and re-enter the lion's den of his old family home. Yes, Danny has finally come home. The question is. why? Also available in the companion "I'll Be Your Dog" edition - ISBN 978-09546115-2-1
