35-year-old orphan Henry Black thinks he might be dead. When he meets Paul Davies, an elderly mental health patient who claims to have invented a time machine, Henry is drawn into a race to prevent a sinister group from tampering with history to subvert world religion and create a new faith based on their own twisted ideals.
The Life & Death of Henry Black is set in post-7/7 London, taking the reader on a whistle-stop tour of society's black holes with stops along the way for terrorism, parallel worlds, werewolves, vagrancy, secret societies, absent fathers, the meaning of life, and the eternal quest for love. It will appeal to fans of Chuck Palahniuk, John Kennedy Toole, Neil Gaiman, Aldous Huxley, and Michael Marshall Smith as well as anyone who likes contemporary novels with an edge.
