Arthur's Return by Duncan Wallace

Arthur’s Return charts the outward egress and inward ingress of a young man on a mission to find himself and discover new things. He sets off almost without thinking about it and once he is on his way, he continues and each step makes for an increase in pace and drama. He packs in lots with relationships and interaction with others wherever the road takes him. He is also involved with what is going on around him. There is a sort of otherworldliness that impinges on day to day practicality from time to time in the form of people he sees or meets who say things in a semi visionary way, so that the reader is intrigued. Things begin to challenge and confront him until he is forced into a tete a tete with an opponent towards the end of this first instalment. It is intended that Arthur will be a focus for the sympathy, wishes and projections of the younger reader and the admiration of the older. He is our hero, and in the first instalment, he is called into action. Soon, it will be the case that he is moving towards full scale action but that is for later. All that is left for now, is wonderful descriptions of his surroundings, travel and adventure.

He begins in ‘the North’ of Great Britain and dialogues with friends and family there before making the decision to venture south under the protective umbrella of his step-gran’s affections. He is tempted abroad, then the adventure really starts and it seems like he voyages round half or Europe before returning to apparent tranquillity of a residency in a boatyard. Everything does not go to plan and soon Arthur is called into action.

The drag race is on… Eighteen-year-old Drú Dylan can see the future. Tonight is her Uncle Hunter’s annual Hot Buns Halloween party, a tribute to his Dancing Queen Decade, aka the “Big Hair I Don’t Care” ‘90s. As always, he swears it’ll be G-rated. (It won’t be.) And it doesn’t take psychic powers to predict that any party held at a gay bakery built on land that happens to be the home of a thousand confederate soldiers is bound to cause chaos in this Virginia beach town. (It does every year.) That’s why Drú and her cousin Sam have their own annual competition: gazing into their crystal ball and predicting exactly what kind of chaos will be unleased at this year’s bash. Drú has a record to defend—but even she can’t predict what will happen when Uncle Hunter’s trigger-happy nemesis Rich McCarthy and his sons try to crash the party before its even started. It’s a race against the clock to make sure Uncle Hunter’s big night goes off without a hitch…Old skeletons are dragged out of the clo
