Quote from: gnimbleyThat wouldn't be related to "The Little Sisters of the Apocalypse," would it? That book was about a bunch of harley riding nuns and, um, well, other stuff.

Only in the very loosest sense of the word "related" (they are both books and that's about where it ends) :P

Quote from: fluffyI put these on my Amazon wish list. I don't know about these,
but I really like the title of one of his other books, "The Hollow Chocolate
Bunnies of the Apocalypse." Sounds like someone I know!

That's also a very good book... won some kinda sci-fi book award. It's set in Toy Town and involves... well... hollow chocolate bunnies, the end of the world, and the serial killing of famous nursery rhyme characters. (Humpty Dumpty gets boiled alive in his swimming pool.) I wont spoil the rest.

Read it! :P

He's a bit of an obscure English author... a little like Douglas Adams on crack or acid.

If you've never read any of his works, then I would seriously recommend doing so. He blends together elements of Vodoo, Witchcraft, Sci-Fi, Urban Myths, Parallel Realities, Demonology, Religion, Net-Humor and general weirdness to create some absolutely mind-blowing stories.

If you need a place to start, then I would recommend one of:

The Book of Ultimate Truths (The character Hugo Rune should be a Discordian saint)
Check that one here
Nostradamus Ate My Hamster (Alien invasions, stealing spines, time travel and the truth about Hitler)
Check this one here..
A Dog Called Demolition (Witchcraft, zombie pets, demonic possession, and injured feet)
And finally check this one.. here

If you live in the US, you might have to order them, but they are well worth the read.
