Brandy In The Basement

Brandy In The Basement is a collaboration between me and the author JMR Higgs, aka John Higgs.  As you may be able to discern, it's a combination of the artwork for Higgs' short novel The Brandy Of The Damned and my novella Beast In The Basement.  An AA-sided ebook, if you will.

Love how those covers slot together.

The idea arose, in our communal work space (the pub), of bundling two of our books together for a special price.  They're both stories we're proud of and which we'd like as many people to read as possible.

That's why you can now buy Brandy In The Basement, a single ebook which contains our two stories, plus a new introduction, for £4.33, which is lower than their usual combined cover prices.

The Brandy Of The Damned is a mad road movie of a book, which made me feel like my life had been changed in some subtle, messed-up manner.  Author CJ Stone called it "A child's tale of the imagination told for adults, in a way that is both entertaining and beautiful".  Higgs really is a demonic puppeteer of the subconscious, as evinced by his novel The First Church On The Moon (a brilliant follow-up of sorts to The Brandy Of The Damned) and his amazing non-fiction books Stranger Than We Can Imagine: Making Sense Of The 20th Century and The KLF: Chaos, Magic And The Band Who Burned A Million Pounds.

My own Beast In The Basement is a tense psychological horror-thriller, which also seems to twist people's brains loose.  Focusing on an author going mad in a remote country house, it's all about censorship, parental responsibility and revenge.  It urged Red Dwarf collaborator Seb Patrick to tweet, "I reached a certain moment and wanted to stop and applaud my Kindle.  On a tube train."
