Product Information

Alex was one of my customers when I had the shop in Wood Green. He came into the shop one day asking if I wouldn't mind reading the first chapter of a book he'd been writing for the last seven years.

He'd only showed one other person his book and I was totally blown away that he'd asked for my opinion.

That evening, I read the first chapter, and for the second time that day I was totally blown away.

The incredible imagery and power behind Alex's writing was a real pleasure, and the next morning I called him and demanded that I see the rest of the book.

I suggested that Alex contact Beautiful Books, who were doing some wild stuff at the time. They showed the same enthusiasm as me for Alex's book and it was published in 2011.

Things happen and Beautiful Books went out of business, but before they did, I managed to get some copies of Alex's book, which I've been keeping under wraps.

UNTIL NOW!

In a council flat beneath the flight-path to Heathrow, Emmanuel/Manny Marbas, fallen portrait artist and frustrated film-industry painter, is living with Jabba, an obese hedonist awaiting alien intervention.

He’s becoming fixated by letters arriving for a previous tenant which detail the increasingly bizarre plight of Elijah, a pensioner suffering from dementia.

Manny is hiding from his past: the father that deserted him, the mother that never was, the Russian oligarch’s daughter he loves too much and his own shameful abuse of the homosexual Bishop of W.; his physical mistreatment and vile misrepresentation in oils.

Manny is on the slide, looking for distraction amongst cockeyed bungled robbery, drink, drugs and prostitutes.

He travels north with a gun and a silencer to rectify things as best he can for Elijah. Manny’s extreme act of salvation is witnessed by Vernon Prendergast, a sinister, murdering narcoleptic hospital technician who holds the key to Manny’s past but might also be the death of him.

Put Charles Dickens, Chuck Palahniuk and Ignatius Reilly into a blender.
Press the button. Try not to get your clothes dirty…

It's a wild ride!
