Have any of you spags heard of Lord Horror? A novel/character by David Britton and Michael Butterworth.

Apparently the original novel isn't in print anymore, which is a shame, it seemed rather interesting. It is a surreal novel about a DJ (Lord Horror) based in an alternate history where the Nazis won WWII. Unfortunately I haven't really been able to find it online, and it is probably even harder to find in print (it was banned in the UK).

Anyway here is a link to an essay about it:

its not digital, but I think this might be what you're looking for. If it is, act quickly, they only have one copy in stock.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft

Thanks, but that's not it.
That's part of the comics made of the character later on, I've read one, and they're interesting, but I want to read the original novel, cos, well the original is usually better.

You can get the audio CD of it: http://www.savoy.abel.co.uk/HTML/horrcd.html

You probably already knew that.

I searched pretty exhaustively by ISBN, and couldn't find anyone who had it in, but I guess I would just suggest to keep searching periodically in case a copy turns up.
