Go straight to the travel or non fiction section and rescue this book. It’s a trawl around the history, memories, sights and smells of Thanet and Medway. An unpromising subject, you may think, but what strange and troubling vibes this book uncovers. Reading it is like listening to the best pub storyteller you never met. Eerie, gripping and weird – you’ll never feel the same about getting on a train to Gravesend again.
