Dr Craine's Body

The groundbreaking romance now available in a small collector's edition paperbackchapbook

A story about the destabilising nature of love. A scrutiny of society and life through the uncomfortable lens of death. An absorbing, unsettling portrait of a fractured psyche. A haunting yet beautiful subversion of the romance genre.

Dr Craine's Body follows a gifted, deeply unorthodox medical examiner as he battles with his unrequited feelings for a colleague, feelings that burn so deep they threaten to destroy his very being.

Constructed through innovative storytelling and jolting plot developments, Dr Craine's Body is a poetic, stark short that defies convention and arrests throughout.

Dr Craine's Body is the second work by British writer Khalid Patel following his acclaimed debut novel Hollow Shotguns.
