About the Book

Acid Glitter: Raves, Romance and Revenge Combine in 80's All-Out Counterculture Crime Thriller

L.P. Stanton's Acid Glitter transports readers back to 1989. Bringing together Will's passion for acid house and a casual fling with Charlotte. Everything starts to derail when shady characters and dubious deals start to take centre stage at Glitter nightclub.

Fast-paced and offering a nostalgic trip down acid house memory lane, Acid Glitter immerses the reader in the 1980's rave counterculture and delights along the way.

Sharing the story of how protagonist Will's passion for music finds him tangled in a web of shady happenings, the author captures the freewheeling spirit of the 'second summer of love' beautifully, juxtaposing the zeitgeist of raves in unlicenced warehouses with the police's determination to shut down this illicit scene.

Well-paced and with vivid character development, Acid Glitter is a standout read that reminds those who experienced it how edgy, authentic and of the moment acid house was. It is a scene, after all, that defined a generation and went on to have a significant impact on global music culture. For anyone else, it's a hugely satisfying novel that introduces a music phenomenon that rightly deserves its place in the literary limelight.

SYNOPSIS:

Will Frances is onto a good thing, making money from unlicensed warehouse raves. He's riding high until a night on the town lands him in hospital courtesy of Glitter nightclub's heavy-handed bouncers.

Honest Charlotte loves a good party at the end of a hard day. Her hook up with Will on a girls' night out sets off a chain of events that go far further than a casual fling.

Shady local kingpin Daz is doing easy business until Will's feud threatens to derail his illicit dealings at Glitter nightclub.

Glitter's egotistical owner Wayne has had enough of them all after being robbed and then assaulted. He has no idea who's behind the recent violence and takes matters into his own hands.

With these forces - plus a load of cash - in the mix, not to mention the police, who are hot on all their tails, the stakes quickly get heated. Can the ravers make their escape? Or will the gangsters take over?

Set in 1989, when acid house exploded onto the UK music scene, Acid Glitter spins through the decade's most elusive counterculture like a seamless DJ set.
