Author Description

From the author of Idiopathic Condition Red, The Horizontal Split, Scattered Remains, and The Pariah, comes cutting edge dark fantasy and social horror in a style rarely seen. Skull Wars is a frame story about a Croydon alcoholic's slide into criminality and madness when a girlfriend is murdered, drinking acquaintances turn nasty, and the police become increasingly inquisitive. Complacent, confused and usually drunk, Chris Anderson flees to Tunisia and more trouble before arriving in Holland where civil insurrection forces a change of plan that confirms nothing is as it seems. Isolated, menaced and denied medical treatment, Chris plunges further into psychosis accompanied by a book called The Synagogue Cyclorama Desk, and a variety of disturbed individuals who illustrate what can happen when life's sharp edges rub constantly against the open wounds of past traumas.
