I LOVE THE SMELL OF PARALLEL DIMENSIONS IN THE MORNING
Baxter Zevcenko’s life is pretty sweet. As the 16-year-old kingpin of the Spider, his smut-peddling schoolyard syndicate, he’s making a name for himself as an up-and-coming entrepreneur. Profits are on the rise, the other gangs are staying out of his business, and he’s going out with Esme, the girl of his dreams.
But when Esme gets kidnapped, and all the clues point towards strange forces at work, things start to get seriously weird. The only man drunk enough to help is a bearded, booze-soaked, supernatural bounty hunter that goes by the name of Jackson ‘Jackie’ Ronin.
Plunged into the increasingly bizarre landscape of Cape Town’s supernatural underworld, Baxter and Ronin team up to save Esme. On a journey that takes them through the realms of impossibility, they must face every conceivable nightmare to get her back, including the odd brush with the Apocalypse.

Recensione:
"Lauren Beukes meets Neil Gaiman." (WIRED)
"Pure, unbridled joy ... every bit as awesome as you might think." (Pornokitsch)
"It’s mad, dark, irreverent and wonderfully twisted in all the right ways." (Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls)
"A riot – a firebomb of a novel, exploding with sick humour, violence and depravity." (SFX)
"With a wild imagination and savage glee, Charlie Human throws us into a school yard battle zone that’s part teenage wasteland, part Lovecraft fever dream. Rock and Roll High School meets the apocalypse." (Richard Kadrey)
"Given the power of the prose and the unholy weird-ass quality of the storytelling, Charlie Human may not actually be human, but he is surely a writer to watch." (Chuck Wendig, author of Blackbirds)
"If you want the dark imaginative wonder of Gaiman injected with the reckless, carefree abandon of a Tarentino flick, you'd be a fool not to hitch a ride into the mysterious world of Charlie Human's South Africa." (Starburst Magazine online)
"From start to finish this just kept getting better and better ... it is a rollercoaster ride of twists, turns, surprises and revelations ... [it] doesn’t feel like a single word was wasted in crafting the intricate flow of the real, the fantastically surreal and the downright bizarre story contained within the covers." (popbucket.co.uk)
"Hilarious and tremendous fun." (SciFi Now)
"Brilliantly entertaining." (British Science Fiction Association)
