Death to Everyone, by John Robbins

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Everyone-John-Robbins-ebook/dp/B0CSC3F7Y3 This horror-comedy is careful not to exploit the cruelty of its dicey theme, favouring consistent light wit over crash-bang punchlines. The word count is economical in this adventure of key protagonist Humphrey Hardly, himself a masterclass in writing the outsider. The tortured soul is deftly contrasted in public settings…

Occupied extract: The Illuminati Man

The morning after the strike the camp was thick with frost and the three girls in the marquee sat in a wafting mist. Regardless, there was colour in Cat’s cheeks. She and Jack were talking about where they went for bargain clothes. It transpired they each went to the same charity shops. Kiera said they dressed so differently she’d never have realised it to look at them. The interruption…
