Summary

White Lotus meets Shaun of the Dead in this absurdist take on the wellness retreat. 
Our narrator and his accidental companion, K. Sohail, find themselves on an island wellness retreat impersonating the Dhaliwals, who have probably been killed in a helicopter crash. After being welcomed by Jerome the robot, the intrepid imposters eagerly partake of the all-you-stomach buffet, the motivational speechifyings of self-help guru Brad Beard, and Professor Sayer's uncomfortably erotic couples counselling.  

  But things quickly take an ominous turn when an excursion to a nearby deserted village reveals a guillotine and a haunted chapel. And then one of the retreaters is murdered and the real Dhaliwals show up. Accusations, counter-accusations, and counter-counter-accusations are made, until the whole retreat is caught up in a bizarre trial.  

  In All You Can Kill, Pasha Malla, with his inimitable absurdist style, collides horror and humour into an utterly unforgettable satire. 
"Smart, hilarious, original, All You Can Kill is a feverish, one-of-a-kind, unhinged journey into the absurd shams of modern life. No one writes satire, or anything else, like Pasha Malla." – Iain Reid, author of We Spread 
"Malla is a fabulously gifted writer." – Publishers Weekly
   
"I don’t really know how Malla gets away with what he does … but it is astounding to watch him do it." – The Rumpus

    Stephanie Bloom is a forty-something single mom chasing a dream she nearly gave up on—to become a global pop star. 
Juggling three kids, nosy school mums, and the crumbling restaurant left by her late husband, Stephanie is barely keeping her Spanx—and her sanity—intact. But when a life-changing chance to record with The Most Famous Rapper In the World lands in her lap, she must choose: play it safe for her family, or risk it all to follow her dreams. 
This laugh-out-loud, feel-everything story about music, motherhood, and second chances isn’t just a novel—it’s a new kind of storytelling experience. 
For the first time in a fictional audiobook, How A Gangsta Rapper Made Me A Better Mom features a fully integrated original soundtrack. These aren’t background tracks—each song is performed in scene by the characters. From Stephanie’s pop anthems to her kids’ punky riffs, Candice’s sultry jazz to raw hip-hop bars, the music reflects each character’s unique voice and style. It’s immersive, emotional, and game-changing. 
Created, narrated, and performed by award-winning singer-songwriter and TV personality Stacey Jackson—alongside guest artists from around the globe—this is the first fictional audiobook of its kind, where story and soundtrack are one. 
Praise: 
"An inspiring path carved out with passion, determination, and heart... Stacey Jackson is fearless when it comes to life and embracing opportunity." — Rolling Stone UK 
"Balancing fame, family, and fearless ambition... proves it's never too late to chase your dreams." — OK! Magazine US 
"An inspiring debut celebrating transformation at any stage of life… a fictionalised but deeply authentic journey." — Elle Canada
