Product Description
All four of Steve Aylett's "Accomplice" books in one volume, revised, with a new Preface and an intro by Michael Moorcock. Starburst Magazine has called the books "a hugely impressive example of outrageous literary wit and uncommon good sense, demonstrating once more that Aylett is the coolest writer alive today". SFX has called them "Bizarre, innovative and utterly original". Collecting the titles Only an Alligator, The Velocity Gospel, Dummyland and Karloff's Circus, THE COMPLETE ACCOMPLICE follows the simple Barny and his friends through the intertwisted power manipulations of Accomplice, a zone where hell's defected demons discover they can never match or out-do humanity when it comes to spectacular dishonesty and evasion. "Something this rapid shouldn't be so intoxicating or so dense with ideas. It's a roaring, groaning perpetual motion machine decked out as a fun fair attraction. Read it and you'll need resuscitating" - 3:AM
From the Back Cover
In a languid semi-tropical republic which roofs a world of conspiring demons, the simple Barny becomes the enemy of a king demon and must tirelessly ignore the hordes of hell with the help of his friends. A polychrome soap, a holographic puzzle, a philosophical trip and corrosive relief from the blandness of the times, the Accomplice books are above all an excuse to just hang around there.
