I suppose, like the back flap blurb states, he is a pawn caught between the forces of good and evil, but that does not really do the story justice. Guy is some type of lynchpin therefore in the greater scheme of things. Both cabals can use their arcane machinery to see events in the future to a degree, but each group wants another future to come to pass. For some reason, Guy is some type of mystical anomaly and his mere existence has the possibility of impacting other events in the world, deviating them from their fates. It seems Guy has somehow escaped his Fate, both when he was born (he was fated to die then) and with the accident with the truck (he was fated to die then as well). At the same time, at least two different cabals (for a lack of better words) are mysteriously keeping track of Guy using some type of arcane machinery/magic. So, this starts off with Guy and an old pal travelling/vacationing in North Africa Guy is still recovering from both his injuries and the loss of Sylvie.

The year prior Guy was on his way to be with Sylvie (cancer) in England before she passed and was hit by a truck and badly hurt. Taylor uses a lot of flashbacks to establish Guy's backstory and his relationship with Sylvie, but at the start of the novel, Sylvie had died a year ago in England after they seperated. When he was between undergrad and grad school, he travelled to England and fell in love with Sylvie, who he ended up marrying and brought her back to the States. Our main protagonist, Guy Holman, teaches English lit in NYC. I guess Charmed Life could be billed as a horror novel, but it really defies such a simple classification, and Taylor serves up here a rather unique little treat. There Must Be Evil, his latest true crime study, is to be published in England in September. It was during his year as resident playwright at the Queen’s Theatre, Hornchurch that he wrote The Godsend. He has won awards for his true crime writing and also for his work as a playwright. He has also written novels under the pseudonym Jess Foley, as well as several works of nonfiction. Grant has hailed as one of the finest ghost stories ever written. He has published ten novels under his own name, including The Godsend (1976), which was adapted for a major film, and Sweetheart, Sweetheart (1977), which Charles L. While there, he took up acting and writing and continued with both after his return to England. On graduation he worked as a teacher, painter and book illustrator before going as a teacher to the United States. Following active service in Egypt in the Royal Air Force, he studied Fine Arts in Swindon, then at Chelsea School of Art and Birmingham University. Bernard Taylor was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, and now lives in London.
