    First Things Last: Stories of Humour, Horror and Noir

    Written by Daniel J. Thompson

    Narrated by Daniel J. Thompson

    ()

    About this audiobook

    A sentient cloud whose arrogance leads to its own demise. A rich uncle who discovers a possible solution to climate change, but is not who he appears to be. A phantom killer who uses other people (and their cars) to commit murder. Balloons that predict the future. Paranormal investigators at the beach. Wolfmen who hunt bears for sport. A Cinderella story at a retirement home. Celebrities forced to make movies for eternity in a simulated world. A girlfriend who believes we reside in the mind of God. 


    Part noir, part humour and part horror (often all three). First Things Last is a book you might have to read twice to find your way out of.

      The Reverend’s Review

      I went to a furry convention once. It was for a book I was writing, and I met many adults dressed as foxes, cats and mostly… dogs. I particularly remember leaving the toilets just as one guy crawled toward the urinals in a leather dog suit. Sure, it

      Garth Marenghi: ‘Many Writers Cite Me As An Influence ... And I Will Be Suing Them All’

      Oct 29, 2022

      Horror writers don’t come much more elusive than Garth Marenghi, AKA “the dream weaver”, AKA the “titan of terror”. The author (who bears an uncanny resemblance to comedian Matthew Holness) is best known for his 1980s hospital horror “dramamentary” G

      It's All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses an Arm

      One theme that recurs in Michael Crichton's techno-thrillers is the amusement park gone rogue. Long before he conceptualised Jurassic Park, he dreamt up Westworld (and Futureworld) and that vision translated into this serial some 45 years later. The
