Review
A series of stories charting London's psychogeographical hinterlands, Everyday marks an exciting debut. Glibly humourous and with a big, blackened heart beating throughout, Rourke - a leading light of 'The Off-Beat Generation' writers currently making the leap from web to print - delivers a stunning collection charting the tormented lives of everyday misanthropes - and the grubby blank-eyed pigeons that dwell in the gutter alongside them. --Shortlist Magazine
Sick, depraved and utterly mad, with no redeeming features whatsoever. I loved it. Stewart Home --Stewart Home
Everyday is a guide book of sorts: a dark, twisted, hysterical and macabre map of the twilight city which lurks underneath our nation s capital. This magnificent collection is living proof that the short story is alive and well and living in London. Tony O Neill, author of Digging The Vein, Seizure Wet Dreams, and Songs From the Shooting Gallery --Tony O'Neill
Product Description
Everyday takes the reader for a dawdle into the moribund heart of London. This extraordinary collection of stories featuring pigeons, putrefying exotic dancers, lost loves, boredom, cliché, lacklustre dérives, banality, sexual violence, the male gaze, a murderous acquisition of a tortuously blank book, and the sad demise of the number 38 bus reinvents reality, that is at once sordid, hilarious and tender.
