  In Bangor, North Wales, Chrissy Bray, an unemployed, narcissistic drug dealer strives for a life of lawless utopia within the profitable confines of his locally renowned, party-central home.

  Candid and keenly observed, I found it laugh-out-loud funny in several places, there's a sharp, knowing level of satire throughout the book, combined with weary cynicism, and some of the scrapes and exchanges are comedy gold. Spurious Scrapper is a fast-moving and grimly hilarious novel that takes the reader into a wretched subterranean world that is as appalling as it is compelling. Highly recommended. - Rose Auburn  
  Fans of Trainspotting by Danny Boyle will surely enjoy this book. A must-read for those who are not afraid to dive into the darker side of life. - Stuart Brkn Johns  
  Trigger warnings - drug and alcohol use, homophobia, violence, sex, self-harm, talk of sexual assault and abuse, torture.

  ‘I was asked the other day what I thought the hardest part of parenting was. I’d have to say that it’s definitely the kids.’ 
  TikTok sensation Clara Batten has dedicated the last few years to seeking the answer to one of life’s most crucial questions: 
  Is it possible to raise and nurture two small humans without losing your bloody mind? 
  The good news is, now she’s found (some of) the answers and is sharing her secrets with the rest of us! In this riotous book, Clara reveals:when it’s acceptable to buy your kids lunch from a kebab shop.why a jar of pickled herrings from Waitrose is the ultimate guilty pleasure, nay necessity, for a sleep-deprived parent.how to finally pursue your acting ambitions in your forties (despite a toddler sh*tting on the stairs during a self-tape audition). 
  Most importantly, Clara shows us that no matter how much we adore our little treasures, life isn’t just about their A, B and bloody Cs. 
  In her latest work, GIN AND PHONICS, Clara Batten humorously delves into the intricacies of long-term family relationships. This new autobiography, with its candid take on marriage and parenting, is a top pick for readers. 
  For fans of Miranda Hart (I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You), Dawn French (The Twat Files), Crystal Hefner (Only Say Good Things), Katy Weitz (Undercover Copper), and Davinia Taylor (It's Not A Diet).

  Alarms & Discursions -...

  The fragments of futile journalism or fleeting impression which are here collected are very like the wrecks and riven blocks that were piled in a heap round my imaginary priest of the sun. They are very like that grey and gaping head of stone that I found overgrown with the grass. Yet I will venture to make even of these trivial fragments the high boast that I am a medievalist and not a modern. That is, I really have a notion of why I have collected all the nonsensical things there are. I have not the patience nor perhaps the constructive intelligence to state the connecting link between all these chaotic papers. But it could be stated. This row of shapeless and ungainly monsters which I now set before the reader does not consist of separate idols cut out capriciously in lonely valleys or various islands. These monsters are meant for the gargoyles of a definite cathedral. I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires. But I am very sure of the style of the architecture, and of the consecration of the church. -- From the introduction
