An intimate portrait of the city after dark.
Night Haunts seeks to reclaim the mystery and romance of the city to revitalise the great myth of London for a new century. Sukhdev Sandhu journeys across the city to find out whether the London night really has been rendered insipid by street lighting and CCTV.
Offering some of the greatest insights we have into contemporary London -- Michael Moorcock * Daily Telegraph *
A book that restores some mystery and romance to the London night * The Times *
Unconventional, poetic and haunting meditation on the capital's hours of darkness and the largely unregarded men and women who wakefully inhabit it. * Observer *
In a vivid series of vignettes, Sandhu traverses the capital, inspired by HV Morton's 1926 The Nights of London. * Guardian *
A luminous series of sketches in Orwellian style, from cabbies and sewer flushers ("fat is the bane of their lives") to exorcists and Thames bargers ("Nobody knows we're here. Nobody"). This book is an atmospheric and witty companion, especially for those who, like Sandhu, spend the dark hours awake. * Independent *
Sandhu turns his gaze on a side of London many of us blithely pass through regularly; a dirty city with dirty secrets, after dark ... Night Haunts is layered and lyrical ... an essential though underappreciated contribution to the 2000s psychogeography revival. -- Johny Pitts * Observer *
