New Fiction Makes All-Out Assault on Culture A world in which a mutant hermit surveys the world as it passes outside... brothels full of teenage girls... noisy neighbours, a clash between nu-metal and industrial noise... ultraviolence... smoky bar-rooms... dodgy misanthropic private detectives in a cultural time-warp... bad beer, bad parties and lives devoured by the pace of postmodern society. These are the scenes of Bad Houses, drawn not from some strange parallel universe, but the darker side of real-life, the world we all live in.
The first published collection of short stories by English writer Christopher Nosnibor, Bad Houses is not for the faint-hearted, or the easily offended. His tales explore the darker sides of life in uncompromising terms and using the language of real people. Drawing reference from a vast range of sources, from William Burroughs and Charles Bukowski to extreme electronica terrorists Whitehouse, Nosnibor presents a unique and powerful narrative voice across the six stories within this book. Mainstream it isn’t: accessible, compelling and blackly humorous it is.
Synopsis:
Six short stories. Six houses, all of them bad in various ways. Six different scenarios or states of mind, all thematically connected, in that they each portray snapshots of everyday life. Using searing, lacerating and explosive prose, Bad Houses takes the reader on a roller-coaster journey through the horrors of modern life and the human condition.
