    About this ebook

    Eight Cuts Gallery Press presents the debut novel by Stuart Estell, who lives in Birmingham. It is absurdist comedy of the very blackest kind, informed by a love of James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Peter Cook and The Goon Show. Featuring the Fibonacci sequence, floors that open up without warning, a powerful laxative, and a duvet that periodically changes colour, Verruca Music charts the narrator’s emergence from a state of fearful near-immobility assisted only by entertainments of his own devising.

      Boredom Bliss...

      Nov 18, 2019

      I have finally worked out (slow, I know) that the anticipation of a holiday is way more relaxing than the holiday itself. ‘This time next month,’ I think, ‘I’ll be lying in the sun somewhere (slathered from head to toe in factor 550 sunscreen, obv),

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’
