Description
M. C Williams's writing is influenced by the widespread drug culture, socioeconomics and cultural diversity of his home city of Brighton, England. His work is self-described as the subgenre HowlerFicton, inspired by the popular style Gonzo Journalism, it focuses on the corruption of modern day society, fronted by mentally estranged youth protagonists. Written in third person, it is a style of writing without any claims to objectivity, which draws its power from a combination of real-life experience and self-satire, favouring a non-detached style therefore striving for a more personal approach. The genre’s tone engages in the harsher sides of reality; not limited to but including bloody violence, drug binging, mental issues and illnesses, alcoholism, rape, sexual abuse and addiction.
Plot Outline.
The shocking story of a fight for survival against the odds, by a group of youngsters cast adrift in a town that could be any one of our inner cities today. Here could be your children's future, society's future - OUR future if we don't change before it's too late.
If you're concerned at all for the future of your children, you may find it shocking, not only because of the widespread, endemic use of hard drugs which is prevalent throughout the story; but it takes place in the beautiful, picturesque seaside resort of Brighton.And it is happening NOW throughout our country in almost all of our traditional market towns.
The book contains probably the best description of a 'bad trip' you will ever read – together with valuable information on the destructive effects of modern drugs, written by someone who has experienced them personally.
On another level, it is a terrific adventure story: a bunch of no-hope drug addicts up against the kind of thugs and hoodlums that already haunt most of our inner cities; and through a combination of street-wise intelligence, improvisation and effective use of whatever resources they can find at their disposal, winning all the odds. But at what price?
Snippet.
'Because, Duke loved his hard, shiny loved one far more than he loved any living person. It caressed rather than cut, was razor-sharp as any loved one should always be if she is to help you like she should. The reason for this thinking was simply that he had always believed a loving relationship should never be based on mere feelings of endearment – such a philosophy was misleading. Instead, love must be compounded of a total belief in your partner; and in having implicit trust that such belief will invariably bring with it, the direct assistance that one all too often needs through life. And in the awful, debilitating environment into which Duke had been pitched, not out of choice, and which he had come to recognise only reluctantly; he had come to recognise his knife for what it had become: the only assistance he could rely on implicitly every time. Hence, he had also come to call her, his One True Love: his partner, his lover and a constant companion who also provided him with relief in other ways than just defending him when he was threatened.'
