I just made up that title. It is not true and you don’t care. You want the story that everyone’s talking about because you’re human, and because it’s a bloody good read that will leave you uncomfortable in your own skin for all the right reasons. You’ll find the story inside the novel:  a kick in the gurus by maclean mottram.

How could you support such an anti-hero hero? How could you not, knowing his story?

Enter the debate, fictionhead, but be warned, you can’t buy it yet, this book is going to be opened to the internet, the entrails of some chapters are going to be dangled in front of you. Be warned, this story, nine years in the making, could be the unmaking of you. It’s not horror, but it should be because as we all know, the real horror of human life happens between human and human. Then again, survival, redemption, taking the piss in the biggest way possible just to survive it, laughing at your unmade wounds, is also a daily reality that needs no monsters.

Not when the humans are a father and son.

This post is sponsored unknowingly by Bulmers fruit cider because I’ve been drinking while I wrote it. Perhaps I wouldn’t have written it, wouldn’t have kicked this off without it. I’m not condoning drinking, I’m condoning blogs and book launches, so this is two birds with one bottle. I’ve no idea what I’m doing, which makes it fun. Like tipping over a stranger’s drink.

Question: What happens when a mind that doesn’t know right from wrong from right is hypnotised by the motivational messages of a CD playing in the stereo of a stolen car?

You’re about to find out. You’re about to get a kick in the gurus.
