From the Publisher:
About the Author:
'Classic Robert Rankin. If you've never read a Rankin before, grab yourself a handful of Nostradamus Ate My Hamster.' - SFX Magazine
What they say about Robert Rankin:
'One of the rare guys who can always make me laugh' - Terry Pratchett
'To the top-selling ranks of humourists such as Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, let us welcome Mr Rankin' - Tom Hutchinson, The Times
'A born writer with a taste for the occult. Robert Rankin is to Brentford what William Faulkner was to Yoknaptawpha County' - Time Out
'One of the finest living comic writers ... a sort of drinking man's H.G. Wells' - Midweek
Robert Rankin spent nearly five years working in the film industry. All right, so he only hired out props, but he did hire them out for The Elephant Man, Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Star Wars trilogy, which is pretty damn good by anyone's reckoning. His previous novels include the Brentford quartet, the Armageddon trilogy, The Garden of Unearthly Delights, The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived, The Greatest Show Off Earth, Raiders of the Lost Car Park, The Book of Ultimate Truths and his most recent, The Brentford Chainstore Massacre, all published by Corgi Books. His latest novel, The Dance of the Voodoo Handbag, is now available as a Doubleday hardback. He is translated into a multitude of languages, including Bulgarian, Russian and Polish.
