WELCOME TO RICHARD CRAVEN'S BRISTOL A TWISTED, SATIRICAL LANDSCAPE WHERE CHAOTIC MISADVENTURE IS MET WITH WIT, VENGEANCE, AND A TOUCH OF THE GROTESQUE.

In this the inaugural volume of Richard Craven's Bristolian Chronicles, disreputable Bristolian gym manager Herod swears vengeance against the microbe colony infesting the spa hot tub and blamed for the genital gangrene which has unmanned him. In the pursuit of his vendetta, he recruits a gallery of corporate psychopaths, spiritual charlatans and raving homoeopaths. As a signifier of his quest he sports an outsize marital aid, the White Willy.

A darkly humorous, unflinching and characteristically Bristolian satire of societal degeneracy, Amoeba Dick recalls everything between Greek tragedy, Jacobean grand guignol and the Victorian novel, and promises to resurrect classical literary fiction for a contemporary audience.

Richard Craven is a British-Canadian former academic philosopher who has spent the last twenty years in Bristol. Since leaving academia, he has dedicated himself to writing mordantly satirical literary fiction and the resurrection of formal verse for a 21st century readership. Amoeba Dick is his second novel following his debut Bile, published in 1999 under the pen name Mark Brand.
