In the Long Dark by Brian Cater
Brian Carter has written six novels and many non-fiction books published through out the English speaking world. Paignton born and bred he has been described as a 'a nature writer with a poet's vision'.
'In the Long Dark' is a celebration of gone-wild cats on the local urban scene in the early 1970s. The small colony live in overgrown grounds of the big house called Maylands in Paignton's Monastery Road. The kind old lady that owns the property is their benefactor.
Everything is ok for Ben, Silver, Lucy and Co until Skeets, the crazy gangster tom and his mob, called The Shadows, hit the scene. Then the battle for territory and survival begins.
It's a spellbinding funny story.
Today Maylands is a handsome white villa in an attractive garden, and the local cats are much better behaved. People and pets have come and gone in this corner of Torbay. In many ways places have changed but the memories are evergreen
