The Inflatable Volunteer [Paperback]

Steve Aylett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2000

It's a world where grave fillers throng the pavements, where ants are plotting to slash and burn us before we do anything to them, where it doesn't pay to have too many dealings with John Satan. Anything can happen. And does. All the time. In such a world a mayor who campaigns on the 'Wooden skulls don't work for long' ticket is bound to go far. So Eddie, our narrator, and Minotaur Babs climb aboard the bandwagon. And the fun begins ...'Macabre, twisted, violent, surreal, yet lifted by moments of lyricism, The Inflatable Volunteer is a unique read ...the actual act of reading this book is more akin to unscrewing your head, and gently bathing your brain in warm chaos ...a psychedelic treat' SFX Magazine

This review is from: The Inflatable Volunteer (Paperback)

Steve Aylett opens your skull and bashes your brain with a potatoe masher, he has this way of writting that makes you want to read more.

I have no idea the plot of this book, maybe something about an election, but I will say you will laugh and wonder on every page.
