| Introduction | I only began writing seriously 10 years ago at the age of 50. I started with an autobiographical project called The Life of Henry Fuckit 1950 – 2015. It follows the antics of my disreputable alter ego as he blunders through life, and is intended to be semi-humorous and pseudo-philosophical. It’s an episodic work in progress and can be followed on Amazon, Smashwords and elsewhere. SHOCKSPEARE is envisaged as a series of Shakespeare rip-offs. Pop-splat, based on Hamlet, is about a student fucked up by society, who feels compelled to avenge the murder of his father, even though the prime suspects happen to be his mother and his uncle. One reviewer described Pop-splat as "a horrible story about horrible people," but conceded that it was also "horribly readable." Kikaffir – a Black Comedy is Macbeth in 2030. The apocalypse has come and gone and the world is a smouldering ruin. The last remnants of the human race go about butchering one another before they choke to death in the toxic fumes enveloping the planet. This is an extremely violent story that has already elicited disgust and revulsion in several reviewers, but they are all in grudging agreement that it is well written. |
