Description
In December 2015, two of UK literature's most outstanding and original voices will join forces to bring you a Double A-Side of novels that are guaranteed to incite reaction.
Ryan Bracha, author of the critically acclaimed number one best selling novels Strangers are Just Friends you Haven't Killed yet and Tomorrow's Chip Paper , and The Dead Man Trilogy , and Mark Wilson, author of the equally acclaimed and successful standalone novels Lanarkshire Strays , and the dEaDINBURGH series bring you two of the most provocative and transgressive novels you'll read. Ever.
Ryan Bracha's The Switched :
"It's as crass and tactless and coarse as anything I've read, and I loved every minute of it."
"One of the most vibrant writers the UK has seen in years... My favourite read since Trainspotting..."
"Twisted as fuck..."
One summer morning, totally unconnected people wake up as somebody else. They have their names, their lives, and their problems. Nobody knows how or why it's happened, and nobody knows if or when they'll ever get their own lives back. They must quickly learn to accept, adapt to, and in some cases embrace their new personas, if they are to survive in a world where the people known as The Switched will do anything to get their old bodies back from others who will desperately do anything to protect their true identity, and hide deep behind their new face.
Against the backdrop of a nationwide search for popular television presenter Francesca O’Reilly, whose very public breakdown and disappearance sparks chaos on social media, it quickly becomes apparent that the switching phenomenon is far more widespread than anybody could have known, and The Switched become the most famous people in the country.
Mark Wilson's On The Seventh Day :
"If Irvine Welsh's 'Glue' got The Bible up the duff, you'd have On The Seventh Day."
"Seventh Day is the book that John Niven's 'The Second Coming' desperately wanted to be and failed."
"God hates you. Regardless of religion, race, sex, sexuality or nationality. He hates all of you. Basically, you are fucked."
God is pissed off.
He has run out of patience with humans and decided that our time is over. We've had our chance and its back to the drawing board.
"Fuck the lot of them" is his newest gospel.
Mo, and Jay, best Friends who've fucked up in the past, beg him for one more chance to get the humans back on track. Alongside Mr Saluzar, the head of a global charity foundation, and Nick, The Fallen Angel, they hurtle towards Armageddon and their one chance to prove God wrong.
They have seven days to save us.
