Product Description

This story uncovers suburbia's darkest secrets—mostly in The Flying Swan, where Neville the barman and Archroy, owner of five magic beans, do battle with beasts of the occult—and in particular the rather unpleasant Pope Alexander VI, the last of the Borgias.

From the Publisher

'Wonderful ... a heady mix of Flann O'brien, Douglas Adams, Tom Sharpe and Ken Campbell, but with an inbuilt irreverence and indelicacy that is unique - and makes it the long-awaited, heavy smoker's answer to The Lord of the Rings' - Time Out

'Wonderfully entertaining ... reads like a Flann O'brien rewrite of Close Encounters' - City Limits
