    About this ebook

    Is there life out there? Yes, absolutely, and don't let sceptics tell you otherwise. But life in the Universe is surprisingly similar to the life on Earth; stupid, drugged, and randomly getting eaten by larger creatures.

     

    After attending his mother's funeral, Mongrel Stevens gets abducted by aliens. It was bound to happen sooner or later, I suppose. But these were no ordinary aliens, and I say that only because what aliens would be ordinary? I mean, they're called aliens for a reason. Anyway they give Mongrel a tour of the ship, try to feed him some strange mediation, and they do not thrust anything into his ass – though not for lack of trying. Mongrel also helps them solve a problem they've had for a long time, and is rewarded handsomely.

      Take a Writer Like Him: My Complicated Love Affair with Kingsley Amis

      Aug 24, 2018

      1. As much as I may rack my brain, there are 15 minutes or so in the dark that I can’t account for and that I’ll never get back—15 minutes during which, I have to think, that creep’s hands were touching my body. It’s a weird thing to think about all

      The Dullard

      Jun 5, 2019

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of

      The time has come for me to disappear. I knew that when the Queen died, the game was over for me. As a small boy (back in 1959), I attached myself to her coat-tails by a long, invisible, metaphorical thread and flew happily behind her for decades. Oc

      If you came to Sam Neill’s memoir without knowing the first thing about it, chapter one would hold a terrible shock. It begins amusingly enough: a lovely anecdote about his daughter Elena being asked at school when she was little about what her dad d
