The Line, the Itch and the Rabbit Hole
The Line, the Itch and the Rabbit Hole is the memoir of David Jester: a child with Tourette’s Syndrome, a young teenager with depression and an adolescent addicted to drugs and alcohol.
A humorous autobiography charting 11 difficult years, beginning with his first tic aged 7 and spanning an adolescence of addiction, illness and self-destruction. A dark and funny memoir that chronicles a wide range of difficult experiences including Tourette's Syndrome, Borderline Personality Disorder, Dystonia, drugs (dealing and using) suicide attempts and a stay in a psychiatric hospital.
Grastik’s Plastic Princess
Grastik’s Plastic Princess is a crude and twisted black comedy, set in a curious slice of suburbia.
Adam Grastik is a friendless, loveless, middle-aged loner. He’s the typical weirdo next door; never had much luck with women or the human race.
Then his dream girl, the love of his miserable life, arrives in the post: a plastic fantastic doll, the answer to all his problems. Unfortunately, he soon discovers that Bethany is not as perfect as he first thought. She’s reckless; leaves crumbs on the floor and refuses to do any housework. On top of that, she refuses to sleep with him -- to consummate their love -- because of a headache, tiredness or stress caused by the idiot stoners next door.
Forever After
Forever After follows Michael Holland, a grim reaper in a grim town. An embittered and melancholic man who struggles to grasp the purpose of his own existence, or lack thereof. He is a minuscule cog in a monumental machine and knows less of his role than those surrounding him -- from his boss, the mighty Angel of Death, to his friend and flatmate Chip: a grubby midget tooth fairy with an addiction to pot and procrastination.
Brittleside is a dank, dark and decrepit town, and Michael Holland is its reluctant reaper. From dealing with the drunks, the druggies and the wasters, to tracking an escaped demon who believes he is Santa Claus; Forever After follows his escapades over four dark and humorous tales.
A paranormal and comic romp through a fantasy world where the mythical, the fantastical, the insane and the typical combine. A mix of dystopia and comedy, if the works of Philip K. Dick and Terry Pratchett were to ever procreate, Forever After would be the bastard child of their creative communion.
The opening novel to the Forever After series. The follow-up novella “Affliction” is also available for Amazon Kindle.
