13 twisted tales of music, magick, mayhem & murder. Some torn from headlines in sunny South Africa where, for many, these are part of everyday life. ♠ Shop for shrunken heads in a village that time forgot. Witness an ancient ritual passed down from the Aztecs through Jack the Ripper to modern-day London. Savour the sweet taste of revenge in a French restaurant. Sit in on the Grim Reaper's disciplinary hearing. And experience life on the streets in 1980s Hillbrow as two teenagers struggle to survive a violent rollercoaster ride through Johannesburg's underground club scene. ♠ John West has won awards and even small amounts of money for his scribblings over the years. One of his stories was recently longlisted in the top 200 entries out of 5 000 submitted to the international Commonwealth Short Story Prize. His first novel - Burning Roses, a decadent tale of sex, drugs, rock n roll & magick - is available online.
Autorenporträt
John West was born in Liverpool, UK and emigrated to Australia as a school teacher in 1971. He left teaching to become a minister in the Anglican Church and served in Sydney, Newcastle and Grafton dioceses over twenty-five years before semi-retiring in 2016, from rector of the Parish Port Macquarie and his position as a Grafton Diocese missional archdeacon. John gained teaching certificates from the UK and NSW, a B.Th and an MA in Theology, which led to some part-time lecturing. He has three married children and four grandchildren through his marriage to his late wife, Susan. He has since re-married to Lisa in 2020. They live on the NSW Central Coast, while doing part-time locum work in the Newcastle Diocese.
