More About the Author
Product Description
Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian, February 21st, 2004
It's funny, it's intelligent, or at least very learned; and in the strangest way, sincere. I loved it.
Book Description
A slice-and-dice splatter novel in which time-travelling streetwalkers hump their way from the trendy east London of today back to the skid row mutilations of the Jack The Ripper era. As gentrification forces the hookers from their age-old beat along Commercial and Wentworth Street, they don Victorian widows’ weeds and ply their trade in local graveyards. Amid these psychogeographical dislocations, warm blood isn't the only thing that gets sucked by the night creatures who haunt Home’s anti-narrative. This is without doubt the weirdest book ever written, the illegitimate offspring of the Marquis De Sade balling a post-modern literary extremist at a ladies of gangster rap convention.

Format:Paperback
Not the best work of fiction you will ever read,but one of the oddest.Cutups to please Burroughs fans and guts to please splatter fans or pulpidolisers. Brave use of form and language that works to get under yourskin.

Faux-whats?
3 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
This guy writes seriously screwed up books...and he writes them brilliantly.
It's like Irvin Welsh (who is an obvious influence.) if Irvin had studied English Lit'...or like James Joyce if Joyce hadn't been the only Irishman in history who could not tell a story.
You gotta read this stuff...but then go read some Jane Austin just to get a bit of balance back.
