The Boy With the Red Hair is the emotional story of a jaded aristocratic who finds himself overcome with a paralysing infatuation for his young serving boy. Set in the 1700s, it is both a period drama and a study of the power of physical beauty to overcome that most common of common senses – self-preservation. But this unusual tale of addictive love takes a darker twist when the serving boy does not offer quite such an idyll of rosy youth as it first appears, bringing instead intrigue and jealousy into a love triangle that ultimately ends in violence and death.
This novella is accompanied by Nothing But A Negro – the short story which, in turn, inspired The Boy With The Red Hair – which tells the true story of Robinson Crusoe and what really went down in that desert island paradise; plus an excerpt from The DANNY Quadrilogy
