Everyone Is Awful is my second collection of short stories - and it’s even darker, more provocative and satirical than the first. I think it’s a stronger collection that’s more tonally consistent, though still with a good variety in subject matter. Some are more funny, others more chilling. But if you’ve enjoyed any of my work before, I think you’ll love this book.
It’s available on Kindle, in paperback and - for the first time - audiobook.
The ten stories included are:
THE KIND IS DEAD, PART I
Carlos works the Las Vegas strip for tips, dressed as his hero, the late Dante DaSilva. But he’s about to discover just how far Dante’s star has fallen.
SO YOU’VE BEEN CANCELLED
Oliver White, social media commentator and king of the cancel, finds himself on the wrong side of a scandal.
LION’S TEETH
A chance online discovery sets Beth on a path to avenge a crime from her past, if she can only track down the man responsible…
THE KING IS DEAD, PART II
On the eve of launching her new album, Diamond DaSilva is reeling from the revelations about her father. Could a TV interview provide redemption?
DEEP STATE
Margot Kyle is a proud mother and business owner. But when Covid hits, her world falls apart – and somebody has to pay.
BURN
Life is hot in 2055. The planet is burning up and one rich family finds itself the target of retribution.
THE KING IS DEAD, PART III
Dante DaSilva’s castle mansion is up for sale. Who would buy such a thing, and what secrets might it harbour?
CUTTER
An inexplicable crime wave sweeps a suburban borough, resisted only by a militant Facebook group. Can they stand up to a killer?
THE ONE WHO TOOK HER
Everyone knows the face of the girl who disappeared, yet no one know what happened to her… except the one who took her.
MARCEL BELL SAVES THE WORLD
Billionaire, philanthropist, private islander: Marcel Bell is many things. But above all, he is a man with a plan – and a massive rocket.
The audio version of Everyone Is Awful is narrated by Alex Harvey-Brown, who has previously appeared in some of my films. He’s a fantastic actor and voice artist, rising the the challenge of portraying over 40 different characters with a global buffet of accents.
You can buy the audiobook on Amazon, listen via Audible if you have a subscription or download from Apple Books.
