Suppose that Satan has himself elected Mayor of a sleepy English seaside resort, on a pledge to clean up the streetwalkers, the beggars and the homeless. His methods are whimsical and quirky, but he knows villainy like he knows the back of his claw.
Stood in his path are Helen, a tipsy transgender prostitute, Paul, an unemployed college teacher with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and a bunch of misfits that includes a poker-playing priest and an old-style rat-catcher. Should be no contest really. After all, the poor long-suffering author is murdered in Chapter Twenty-Two.
But this dystopian and darkly comic fantasy novel defies logic and battles its way through low life crises and spoof horror to a hard-won happy ending. This is literary fiction, though not quite as we have been used to it. Try it now for a very unusual read.
