Product Description

Review

"'Sleaze, art, violence - Royle packs it all in, the pages flying by' Uncut 'One of the things Royle does excellently is portray the inner life of contemporary urban intellectuals' Time Out 'A gory but erotic thriller... This is a chilling and exhilarating read' Peter Guttridge, Observer 'A mesmerising blend of surrealism, satire and thriller... Uncanny, stylish and elusive: a fictional answer to the strangest art-house noir' Independent 'The only writer I'd happily describe as a cross between Iain Sinclair and Ian Rankin' Big Issue in the North"

Product Description

An amateur goalkeeper is frozen solid in a moment of ecstasy as he makes his perfect save. A young man finds himself drawn into the autoerotic asphyxiation fantasies of his deceased uncle. A photographer navigates the rapids of London’s fashion-media elite and struggles to remain afloat in a sea of drugs. These stories feature a parade of mad women, male neurotics, lovesick morticians, frustrated pizza waiters, and psychotic serial killers. Nicholas Royle’s tales are skewed vignettes of the way we live now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Royle kicks ars*, Sep 19 2008

By Rational Reader - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Mortality (Paperback)

In this collection of stories, Nick Royle mixes noir, Borgesian travels, and literary sophistication to come up with a hybrid that's hard to beat. His stories are a much needed breath of fresh air, and an antidote to the naval-gazing post-modernists that seem to have hijacked the form. Highly recommended.
