| подмастерье смерти |
 |
PUBLISHER: EKSMO
PUBLICATION DATE: JULY 2003
The Russian translation of The Apprentice, literally 'Death's Apprentice'. I assume it's the
same story, but given my laughable knowledge of Russian, it might
as well be The Little Mermaid. Quirkily, the author photo on the back isn't me, but this
man. |

Dinner Party |
 |
PUBLISHER: ANCHOR (TRANSWORLD)
PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 1998
The Dinner Party
is the story of Felix Fly, habitual self-mutilator, master butcher
and expert chef. It was my first novel; a funny, dark, gripping and
original thriller. Or so I'm told. Click here
for more information, including reviews and extracts. If you have a Kindle or Sony Reader (or any reader that can take epub or txt format), you can buy an electronic version of the book here. |

Journeyman |
 |
PUBLISHED: EBOOK
PUBLICATION DATE: N/A
The sequel to The Apprentice
/ Damned if you Do, soon to be available for download as an eBook. It picks up the story several years after
the first novel ended, and again features a zombie narrator: this time
he's looking for the One Big Thing missing from his existence. This
novel has never been published in print, and the electronic version should be available by the summer of 2010. |
| Game Boy |
 |
PUBLISHED: EBOOK
PUBLICATION DATE: MARCH 2010
A homage to gaming and gamers, Game Boy 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. You can download a sample and/or buy it here. |
