WINNER of INDIE NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2016 (Readers’ Choice) at Underground Book Reviews
A modern-day Billy Liar meets Donnie Darko (quirky, surreal and darkly funny)
Losing your grip on reality is a real bummer. Just ask Leon Blank. Not that he’d know. Seems those losing their marbles are always the last to find out.
Until recently, Leon would have argued that a tendency to become easily sidetracked on a regular basis wasn’t that odd. And what’s so unusual about hearing a voice inside your head? Doesn’t everyone? Isn’t that just thinking?
But his recent visions aren’t so freely dismissed; especially the angry-looking clown who’s following him around with a baseball bat.
Time to act, Leon decides: perhaps keeping a log will shed light on the mystery.
Then again, could ‘seeing-things’ just be sexual frustration? It’s been a while! If only he had a girlfriend to take his mind off stuff.
Prepare to enter the normally hidden world of delusions, paranoia, and … ahem … ‘unusual interests’: Voyeurism; Feederism; Shoes – that kind of thing.
