Overview: THE CROOK, THE LOON, HIS WIFE AND THE WALKING DEAD
It was originally known as Project Orpheus. A genuine top secret World War Two operation to communicate with the dead. It proved to be highly successful and helped the Allies win the war. But in the 1950s something went terribly wrong. That’s when the aliens from another world took over the communication system and another war entirely began.
For Gary Charlton Cheese, it all began when he was ten years old. At that time his hobbies included, sneaking into the restricted section of the local library, reading the Lazlo Woodbine novels of P. P. Penrose and attempting to raise the dead. Gary was not the kind of boy who was ever going to make his mother proud.
Gary now has a job at the local telephone exchange. Bulbsman. It isn’t much of a job, it only involves him sitting in a tiny booth all day, waiting for a bulb to light up, so he can switch it off again. But it is a job for life and it does have a pension. There’s some pretty strange stuff going on upstairs at the exchange, though. Something to do with this old project that the powers that be have got on the go again. A project now called FLATLINE. Something to do with making telephone calls to the dead.
It is all going to end very badly indeed, especially for Gary Charlton Cheese.
