Lester Gartland's latest thriller explores themes of loneliness and isolation through the lens of a quiet rural town with an inexplicable supernatural entity. With chapters switching between the 70's, 80's, 90's, and one other unknown time, Nobody Cries or Sleeps Anymore explores the detriment of the classic English tight-lipped facade. Blurb: "Something is wrong in these parts. Spitchwick's mundane appearance belies the towns macabre intentions. The older crowd prefer not to talk about it, but the younger generation are beginning to realise potentially sinister energy in the woods. Shelley knows it, Andrew knows it, and a young outsider knows it, but will any of them escape the towns illusory barriers? Set between the 80's and 90's in a rural South-West English town, Nobody Cries or Sleeps Anymore explores and satirises the grotesque necessities of looming modernity, socially acceptable communication, and the ever-expanding requirements of working life."
