Product Description

Product Description

Zak and Sara discover a hidden room adjoining the cellar of their house. The room contains a large supply of opium resin, four crates of World War Two machine pistols, and a decapitated corpse in a bath-tub. They've both recently lost their jobs and are struggling to pay their bills, so they attempt to profit from their discovery ... just until the economy picks up again, of course.

They're not the only ones interested in what else is under the floor of the house in this black comedy.

Cellar Door is the second novel from Paul Fenton, author of Punchline and it confirms that he is no one-book-wonder. As the story unfurls we are drawn into the lives of a young couple who lose their jobs and face serious financial hardship. What they find in their cellar could change all that but finding it puts them in danger.

If you don't like strong language you will not even get as far as the beginning of Chapter 17 which had me laughing so loudly on a train journey that I startled a fellow passenger. The book is brilliantly written and brimming with Paul Fenton's wickedly funny dark sense of humour. He can go from hysterically funny to deeply poignant in a few words - an enviable skill. I look forward to yet more work of such quality from this talented writer.

This is the first book I read on my Kindle, having been initially attracted by the title (think Donnie Darko/ Edgar Alan Poe). At first I thought I had made a mistake, due to the main character's use of bad language, use of (to me) derogatory terms like 'chick' to describe his wife, and their constantly jumping into bed.

However, this all fizzles out as the story progresses. When a discovery in their basement sets in motion a series of extraordinary events, the relationship between risk-averse Zak and his risk-taking wife Sara, gets turned on it's head.

Set in contemporary London, it deals with familiar themes such as job loss, the recession and casual drug use in a frank and often hilariously funny way.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, which I read in 2 days straight and then went on to read the author's first book 'Punchline'.

Hilarious and engrossing! 20 Feb 2012

It's been a long while since I've started a book that I could not put down, but this one is it. The author got my attention with his humor ('a stable of nervous chinchillas' made me choke on my coffee) and kept it with all of the twists and turns that this story takes. A treasure in the cellar, a hero who loves but doesn't quite understand his wife, and some hilarious thugs make for a tale that's rowdy and exciting. I'll be searching for and buying Mr. Fenton's other book very soon.

"Cellar Door" fails to evoke fear 6 Mar 2012
By TLA Gal - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you enjoy British banter, this book is for you! In my opinion, however, all that "chatter" just got in the way of the story; what there was of one. The basic premise is that of a young British couple (he a responsible "agency" employee; she a manic ditz) who find interesting things under the floor in their Victorian row house. The plot deteriorates into seemingly neverending repetition, bringing with it total boredom, before it gets the least bit interesting. Further convolution is added by a totally unnecessary character in the form of the young man's boss.
You have to wade through a lot to follow the story line in this one.
