Description

Danny Hook is a directionless twenty-something year old fresh out of therapy. Dealing with his disappointed family and dead-end career, he's sure things couldn't get much worse, until a drink-driving accident leaves his best friend Nudge dead.
Danny also discovers he can see ghosts - but only when he's drunk. Saddled with a best friend who can't leave his side, they must figure out what's going on and why Nudge can't cross over. Can Danny negotiate family life, therapy and a ghost that refuses to fade into the background before time runs out

Reviews

''Richy Craven has crafted an engaging story about the horrible, painful, wonderful business of living - and how refreshing to find a book that's so funny and utterly relatable while navigating some very serious topics. The writing sparkles with wit from line to line, with every page hiding either a belly laugh or a sudden sharp observation of human nature - and often both. A stylish debut - can't wait for more'' - Alice Bell

''An excellent black comedy about male friendship. If you want to laugh in the face of death - and do so regularly - this is the book for you'' - Damien Owens

''Spirit level is a charming, zippy and hilarious read. Richy Craven is one of the best new writers going. Pick up this book or I'll haunt ya!'' - Alison Spittle

''Spirit Level is an outrageously bingeable read. It is surprising, warm, inventive and a lot of fun'' - Louise Nealon

''Craven pulled me in with his brilliant humour, only to make me feel genuine emotion. I'll never forgive him for this'' - Sean Burke
