Sukhdev Sandhu

"Rare and welcome... a fascinating story, rich in detail... His vigorous deep-mining teems with discoveries." (Evening Standard)

Sukhdev Sandhu journeys across London at night in twelve essays which see him prospecting with the people who drive its pulse, from the avian police to security guards, urban fox-hunters and exorcists. He wades through the sewers, hangs out with fugitive graffiti writers, and accompanies the nuns of Tyburn as they pray for the souls of Londoners.

This book, published by Artangel and Verso, features Midnight Pilgrims: The Nights of Tyburn a new chapter not included on the Night Haunts website, exploring the Tyburn Convent, a "Benedictine order that requires its sisters to wake up during darkness and kneel before God as part of a ceremony called the Night Adoration".
