A dystopian comedy with a difference. "Makes the "Hunger Games" look like Hungry Hippos. Makes "50 Shades of Grey" look like Polyanna." The "Bloomfield Review" says, "Like an obnoxious spy-comedy seen through the eyes of a filthy drunk ... The language can be absurdly, almost heroically obscene." The TBR Pile says, "Bonkers. Weird. Surreal. Satirical. Politically incorrect. Clever. Absurd. Witty. Disgusting." It's debauched, depraved, delirious, delightful. Voted No. 6 in the Top 50 Indie Books of 2015. Winner of the 2015 Lord of the Book Covers award.

"Not just fantasy, but a unique blend of 'clear-minded surrealism' and mischievous earthy satire, directed to achieve a powerful end..."

Philip Goddard wrote five novels from 1990 to 1993, and "Dead Pigs" is the second of these. He was at that time gestating as a significant symphonic composer, and he approached his literary works as though they were music compositions, indeed all five novels and some of his short stories and poems actually being the literary equivalent of complex, organically structured symphonies, in which ideas, phrases and even individual words are treated like...

Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854, the son of William and Lady Francesca Wilde, both noted intellectuals in the city. Educated first at Trinity College, Dublin, and then Magdalen College, Oxford, he became known as much for his wit as his flamboyant style of dress. Wilde then moved to London, settling in Chelsea in 1878, where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of George Moore, Henry James and William Butler Yeats. But commercial success proved elusive and it was not until 1891 that his novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', was published. There followed a brief effulgence of genius,...
