Do you look like an Irvine Welsh/Fight club/John Niven/transgressive fan who would like to join the 50, risk-taking fiction-heads who have offered to read an advance review copy of a dark debut literary sick-tion novel, A kick in the Gurus?

Two more readers joined overnight. Thank you so much, your copies will be with you on Father’s Day in the UK, Sunday 17th June, which is when the escaped previews begin.

That means that in only two days, 15 people from the world population have stepped out and risked finding a new author. Brilliant!

I read a quote in a reader poll that said: “I stick to books by authors I know because why take a risk that I may or may not like something?”

Surely, though, reader-risks are essential because that’s how we find our favourite authors in the first place. Once upon a time, we read just one book by that author. Did we regret it? NO!

If you’d like to combine your love for the new with your love for hyperactive books full of father & son chaos, trauma and anti-motivational satire, please sign up to this blog, or else comment, tweet @macleanmottram  or macleanatmacleanmottram.com me to get your copy or find out more.

Thank you. Here’s to another day of your short life on Earth. Make the most & share this post.
