A poignant, darkly humorous novel about faltering relationships, abandoned dreams, and a man quietly running out of road.
"I defy anyone to read this book and feel nothing." — Bernard Cresswell
Kevin Kershaw is on the achy side of fifty, divorced, and spends his days processing insurance claims. It’s a far cry from the wondrous future he imagined as a teenager.
Then, one random day, as Kevin drifts through his joyless existence, he stumbles upon a shop that defies belief — possibly the last remaining video shop in England. He eventually ventures in and meets the enigmatic shopkeeper, who presents Kevin with a VHS tape.
Curious, Kevin agrees to watch the tape, and then sits in disbelief as the static clears to reveal a bittersweet childhood memory featuring his late mother — one he knows with absolute certainty was never recorded.
That miracle, as Kevin learns, is a membership perk of The Last Stop Video Shop, but it comes with a caveat — watch one tape, and another will appear.
Faced with the impossible, Kevin must decide whether he’s willing to replay more haunting moments from his life… or press eject on it altogether.
