Spinning Lizard is the semi-sequel to Ifrit Town. The events take place parallel to the story of Ifrit Town, in which Allan Sorenson allows himself to be taken to another world on the border of the afterlife.
Nicola Sorenson, Allan's sister, has been left alone. With a history of severe depression and delusion, Nicola feels herself slipping away without the rock of her brother to hold onto; she is somewhat lost in post-adolescent apathy and uncertainty. When the police give up on the search for Allan,
she can turn only to herself to find him …
Set in the industrial tangle of Sheffield, England, the story places Nicola in a world of insecurity, delusion, and vigilantism. Believing in the magics her deceased boy-
friend once practiced, she summons a spirit to give her the courage, strength and power needed to find a lost brother in a violently hostile city.
