Sobre IBD

When James Coverleigh builds a huge mausoleum called ’Valhalla’, and attempts to persuade people to give up the burial rite for a permanent place on a shelf, he stimulates the opposition into pursuing their own ideas of new-style burial. Between them they manage to take the dignity out of dying, and turn the state of death into a circus.This is a bizarre foray into the unknown, an irreverent romp through those rituals and institutions we’ve always taken for granted. Guaranteed to shock, amuse and surprise.A novel of 320 pages.

  • Meritocrats
    Stuart Evans
    Stuart Evans’s first novel is a comedy-of-ill-manners set in a nouveau riche milieu: a fantastic satirical performance and hyper-referential homage to masters past and present. Paul Keller is the Stephen Dedalus of the piece, the son of Robert and Sylvie, whose internal monologue is spliced into the action, and whose incestuous feelings for his sister lead to an increase in his...

  • The Obelisk
    David Lewis Paget
    This, my sixteenth volume of narrative poems, is what you might call a mixed bag. If you bought this in a lolly shop, you would find the usual sickly pink sugary ones, the sour teddies, and the chocolate smoothies. But wriggling around the bottom of the bag would be some that defied description, black and glutinous, with names like dark dreams and shadowy freakshows. Unless you...

    Once more a collection of 70 narrative poems, with disparate themes, something, in fact, for everybody. This is my fifteenth collection, beginning with Timepieces, which was largely Gothic, to the present collection which are rather less bloodthirsty than those early volumes. I like to think of most of the subject material as bizarre these days, more subtle perhaps, but just as...

They do not live as you and I live. Not for them the mundane and repetitive boredom of tiny lives, lived in quiet desperation in the mean streets of our cities. They mainly survive on the edge of th...
