Opis

35-year-old orphan Henry Black has no friends, no future, and thinks he might be dead. After being committed, Henry meets Paul Davies, an elderly mental health patient who claims to have invented a time machine. Together, their dark, twisted adventures see them face a sinister group hellbent on tampering with history. The Life & Death of Henry Black is set in post-7/7 London, taking the reader on a whistle-stop tour of society's black holes with stops along the way for terrorism, parallel worlds, vagrancy, secret societies, absent fathers, the meaning of life and the eternal quest for love. It will appeal to fans of Chuck Palahniuk, John Kennedy Toole and Michael Marshall Smith as well as anyone who likes contemporary novels with an edge.
