“A dark comic thriller wrapped up in a wacky tractatus. The funniest thing I've read in years.”

Anyone know who “David Gall” is? I owe him a pint (or two).

“What a brilliant, clever and hilarious read. I don't want to give anything away, but the delivery was perfect.”

The first review is in! Thank you @rozannereviews
The cover of the author’s new book, featured in a virtual book tour. What a brilliant, clever and hilarious read. I don't want to give anything away, but the delivery was perfect. Told from Manuel's point of view, he fills us in on all manner of subjects, his views are often questionable... but his story is nonetheless fascinating and enlightening in equal measure! I loved the sarcastic and often dark tone of the book and found myself laughing throughout, I especially liked his observations of the English in Benidorm! This is a unique take on crime fiction and I enjoyed how the story creeps up on you as it is easy to fall for all the 'facts' on offer. It is well written and had me quickly turning the pages. A book you need to go into blind for a wild and unexpected ride. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

DESCANSO: OR THE LAST TRUE FASCIST

One excerpt a day until publication (June 20). Day Twenty-five: Yachts

linktr.ee/Jay_Spencer_...
Yachts: In the same way that all business deals are sealed on the golf course, so yachts are where all the bodies are buried. Some bodies are having no choice about being buried (e.g., Osama bin Laden), some opt for self-burial (e.g., Robert Maxwell), and some are exploded to pieces (e.g., Earl Mountbatten). Famous yacht owners include Errol Flynn, Roman Abramovich, Earl Mountbatten (again), and Duran Duran. Straight away, I hear you ask, “¿Manuel, are all yacht owners paedophiles?” “No,” I reply. “That is just a well-founded rumour.” Some yacht owners use their yachts instead to smuggle hashish, and other yacht owners simply rent their yachts out to paedophiles. Similarly, not all paedophiles own yachts. Some of them can only afford a pleasure cruiser or a barge. It doesn’t matter, so long as it can reach international waters to dispose of the children’s bodies. However, once you realize that all yacht owners are paedophiles, everything begins to make sense, and all the Hollywood allusions to paedophilia become clear in, for example, The Bourne Identity, The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Bednobs and Broomsticks, and Privates of the Caribbean. Indeed, oceanographers have expressed concern that the Marianas Trench is rapidly filling up with the bodies of fucked children and that this will lead to the disappearance of many low-lying coastal cities as a result of the rise in water levels currently being blamed on climate change. This is why many billionaires are spaffing their cash on escaping to Mars or on off-shore turbine farms to blow the water away from the land. Other paedophiles just say we need to find a bigger trench.

Xanadu, Saint (1123-1134): Survived on a daily diet of a sliver of wood from the True Cross and a handful of the Virgin's tears yet still lived to be 11.

One excerpt a day until publication (June 20). Day Twenty-three: Who, Doctor

linktr.ee/Jay_Spencer_...
Who, Doctor: An utterly transparent propaganda vehicle for the Illuminati's World Health Organization, poking its nose into everybody's health and fixing it with their sonic screwdrivers, vaccines, quarantines, and sidrats, the perfect place to hide the elephant in the room.

DESCANSO: OR THE LAST TRUE FASCIST

One excerpt a day until publication (June 20). Day Twenty-two: Vampire

linktr.ee/Jay_Spencer_...
Vampire: Any fool knows that vampire bats are not real. They were invented by the Irish showboater Bram Stokoe for his novel Dracula: The Count of Monte Cristo. Is a brilliant story and a metaphor for how the parasitic British landlords sucked the very lifeblood out of the honest Irish peasants of central Europe, praying on them while they slept, which meant that they were not aware that they were being exploited until the day they woke up and found that they too had become British. ¡Is a very scary story! Foretunately, help is on hand for the honest peasants in the form of Jonathan Van Damme, who leads a pogrom of villagers and burns Castle Dracula to the ground, which is how Tayto Crisps began.

DESCANSO: OR THE LAST TRUE FASCIST

One excerpt a day until publication (June 20). Day Twenty: Thoughts, Impure

www.amazon.co.uk/Descanso-Jay...
Thoughts, Impure: All thinking is sinful and impure, the result of disobeying God and eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. Many smart-arse septics have asked why on earth God placed the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden if he didn’t want Adam and Eve to eat from it, but this kind of smart-arse questioning is just the sort of sinful, impure thinking caused by the eating of the apple in the first place, which thereby proves God’s point.

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/descanso-j...
Salmon of Knowledge: A know-it-all fish from Irish mythology whose expertise and brilliance didn’t prevent it from ending up being roasted on a griddle with its guts pulled out. Not to be confused with the Sole of Discretion, the Ray of Hope, the Plaice of Execution, or the Fickle Fish Finger of Fate.

Roses, Smell of: Our Lady's perfume. People say that when a pious or blessed person dies, the room fills with the smell of roses, rather than faeces. Usually, though, the explanation is Air Wick Ambipur: Catholic hospitals buy it in bulk.
