THE FIRE AND THE FURY

Lucifer has unleashed his fury on deepest suburbia. Professor Julius Arturo, a self-styled ‘psychic’ with a taste for ham, has been quietly scamming his clients. Now its time for something colossal. Where his very soul has been allotted the battleground in a spiritual cold war, the fate of the world rests on the head of this unlikely anti-hero. Will he succumb to the allure of darkness? Or will his higher self triumph?

‘The Fire and the Fury’ is a black comedy of cosmic proportions – a tumultuous misadventure through heaven and hell. Against a backdrop of alcoholic delirium and schizophrenic fantasy, the reader is propelled across time and space - From twentieth century suburbia to Renaissance London, from community centre halls to other-world dimensions. It is a tale peopled by vicious old crones, brutal detectives, ghosts, angels, spirits and Satan himself.
