Synopsis

Each summer a group of families holiday together in St. Ives, Cornwall, but in 1972 their lives are shattered and they never meet up again. In a lane in the village of Zennor a hotel porter is found fatally poisoned. Later that week the body of another man is washed ashore. Grant Morrison, then aged seventeen, has long been troubled by the two deaths and their aftermath and, decades later, decides that the time has come to uncover the truth.

    Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife. 
    For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he’s beginning to crave a challenge. 
    Something big. 
    Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts. 
    But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium. 
    A Perfect dark comedy for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Jim Butcher . 
    ‘A superb sequel!’  
    ‘… a Pratchett-like quality to the humor, peppered with engaging facts, and a very interesting premise.’  
    ‘Clever, original and hilarious.’  
    ‘Absolutely a standout work!’

    The Unindexed Mind A Masochist's...

    The Unindexed Mind: A Masochist's Reflection isn't a self-help book, a memoir, or a manifesto—it's a philosophical junk drawer spilled across the floor. In it, Tory Handcock questions everything from belief systems and artificial meaning to morality, chaos, authority, and the illusion of progress. The voice is raw, self-aware, often sarcastic, and deeply introspective. 
    Part poetic rant, part philosophical street fight, this book isn't here to sell clarity. It's here to wrestle with it, mock it, and maybe find a strange kind of peace in the mess. From pondering why chaos came before all things to building metaphysical Lego castles out of existential puke, the writing embraces contradiction, humor, and brutal honesty. 
    If you've ever stared into the void and laughed—or wanted to—this is your invitation to join in. Just don't expect straight lines. That's not how this mind works.
