Necropolis Launch

I am pleased to announce that Necropolis is now available from all regional Amazons in paperback and Kindle.  Necropolis is a humorous work of dark fiction about a sociopath, who works for the Burials and Cemeteries department in his local council.  

Crime Fiction Lover (Britain’s largest and most prestigious crime Fiction review site) has awarded Necropolis 5 out of 5 stars.  Click here to read the review (warning: contains some spoilers).

Necropolis

If you haven’t seen it already this is the blurb for Necropolis:

Dyson Devereux works in the Burials and Cemeteries department in his local council.  Dyson is intelligent, incisive and informed.  He is also a sociopath.  Dyson’s contempt for the bureaucracy and banality of his workplace provides ample refuge for his mordant wit.  But the prevalence of Essex Cherubs adorning the headstones of Newton New Cemetery is starting to get on his nerves.

When an opportunity presents itself will Dyson seize his chance and find freedom, or is his destiny to be a life of toil in Burials and Cemeteries?

Brutal, bleak and darkly comical, Necropolis is a savage indictment of the politically correct, health and safety obsessed world in which we live.

‘Not only a funny, twisted, erudite satire on the psychopath genre, this novel also boasts a compelling plot and finely sculpted characters’

‘A black comedy of true distinction’

‘I was at once fascinated and disturbed by the devious Dyson Devereux with his malicious pedantry, wicked schemes and grotesque good taste.  A barbed joy’

  • A big congratulations and best wishes on your launch day Guy. Thanks also for the mention – that’s very kind of you. I’ve just downloaded my Kindle version to help kickstart the book’s Amazon visibility. I’ve also taken a look at the review you mentioned above. It’s excellent and well deserved. I hope the book does really well as it really is a masterpiece. 🙂

    • Thank you so much for downloading a copy Diane. I am confident that Necropolis will do well given time. Look forward to checking out your latest blog post.

  • Congratulations and good luck. I truly believe it can be a success. The sample on Amazon looks very good as well: I like the font, very tasteful. Dyson would approve.
