| The Journeyman | ||
 |
PUBLISHED: MARCH 2013 / GENRE: FANTASY |
|
The Journeyman continues the story of the hapless, melancholy zombie first encountered in The Apprentice. Now working at a low-grade burger joint, he feels his life is empty and devoid of meaning - until one morning Death walks in and makes him an offer he can't refuse... It's been described as: "among the best and wisest books ever written on humanity, full of dark humor and unexpected plot twists." You can see for yourself here. |

| Another World | ||
 |
PUBLISHED: JUNE 2012 / GENRE: SCIENCE FICTION |
|
The end of one world and the search for another; a horrifying journey through a devastated city; an eighty-year voyage to an Earth-like exoplanet... Set in the last decades of the twenty-second century, Another World features one man's struggle to survive against all the odds, as the clock counts down to the coming Apocalypse. It's been called "an absorbing science-fiction thriller" and "A mesmerising, social-psychological, science-fiction page-turner"; you can buy it here. |

PUBLISHED: MARCH 2011 / GENRE: SCIENCE FICTION |
|
A dystopian society on the brink of revolution; a population chipped, regulated and drugged into submission; an overpopulated planet defined by the One Mother, One Child policy... Into this world a baby is born: a child with the power to change everything. Reviewers have called it "incisive, intricate, chilling and moving" and suggested that "its creativity, depth and breadth should make it a classic outside of sci-fi". More reviews here. |

| The Apprentice | ||
 |
PUBLISHED: MARCH 2010 / GENRE: FANTASY |
|
| A corpse is resurrected and apprenticed to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse for seven days. During the course of the week, he tries to remember how he died, accompanies Death on his daily round, and learns what it means to be undead. This is the eBook version of my second novel, originally published in 1999, and later released in the US as Damned if you Do. For more information, including reviews, click here. | |
|
| The Dinner Party | ||
 |
PUBLISHED: MARCH 2010 / GENRE: HORROR |
|
| Tightly-paced and shot throughout with gallows humour, The Dinner Party is the chilling, ultimately moving story of a young man's obsession with ritual and the peculiar moral universe he inhabits. Like all my eBooks, this has a small amount of extra text at the end discussing the story. For more details (including links to the printed version and some reviews), click here. | |

| Game Boy | ||
 |
PUBLISHED: MARCH 2010 / GENRE: GENERAL FICTION |
|
| A homage to gaming and gamers, this is a snapshot of the life of James Roach, gaming obsessive, collector and competitor. It's a story about growing old, and falling in love, and feeling as retro and useless as a Phillips CD-i. If you've ever played Mario Kart, Bomberman, Robotron, Soul Calibur or Katamari Damacy, it's the book for you. If you think games are for nerds and sweaty men huddling over PCs in dimly-lit rooms, you probably shouldn't bother. | |
