Thirteen Steps Of Darkness

A true story beginning in nineteen forty seven, almost two years since the second world war ended. Britain was still trying to recover from it's devastating effects. Everything was in short supply, rationing in force and life was tough. For one small boy it was about to get tougher. When his mother walked out of his life leaving him with his gambling alcoholic father he tried to come to terms with his lonely life and to control his imagination in dealing with a supernatural being. The never ending cycle of trying to keep the lights on at night, a fight with a local book maker and how he finally grew up at ten years old.
