I think I'm going crackers!

Sometime ago I found, read and enjoyed a story, either here or at AwesomeDude, called The Book about a guy living near Seven Dials in London  -  it is a sort of ghost story.  I have read it again since and enjoyed it again and quite fancy reading it a third time

Now I can't find it anywhere and I have looked everywhere I can think of  -  as usual it is probably right under my nose and I shall be highly embarrassed when it's location is pointed out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks  -  Mal

I know the story well, and it was here, perhaps elsewhere. There is bad news. The author hit a challenging part of his private life and asked for all traces of his online life to be removed, lest his writings outed him. I'm afraid it and all his other things have gone.

Okay, thanks for that, all is now clear.  I hope he sails through his troubles into calm waters.

One day he will, I hope, get back in touch with me. I could find him by his real life persona, but that would be an intrusion.

Yes, I agree, it has to be up to him  -  it is all my own fault for not saving the story when I had the chance.

Thanks for your help.
