Alone and loving it one Christmas Eve, the selfish and unfriendly Benedict Nail finds himself shrunk into miniature and lost in the wilderness of his own living room, which turns out to populated by the ghosts of long-dead Londoners. To reverse the enchantment he must set out on weird expedition through the knick-knacks  and mementoes of his past, and in the course of a long midwinter night discover a whole new Benedict Nail.

Ghosts of Christmas Presents is my COVID lock-down story. It’s set during lockdown and it was written during lockdown. It’s very influenced by being shut up alone in the tiny London flat I was living in, surrounded by all my knick-knacks and, in common with a lot of lockdown projects, its a little bit loopy.
