Danny doesn't have much going for him. He's a loser, unemployed, broke and nearly friendless. He spends his life alone in his room, playing guitar and hiding from his Dad's violent outbursts.

Produktbeschreibung
Danny doesn't have much going for him. He's a loser, unemployed, broke and nearly friendless. He spends his life alone in his room, playing guitar and hiding from his Dad's violent outbursts. His world is small and blue-collar conservative, his anxiety is getting worse, he's slipping beneath an ocean of shit and he's drowning... With rock bottom looming, a lifeline appears in the form of three garage-band hobos and a girl who's one of the boys. They roar onto the scene in a clapped-out van reeking of bong-smoke and spilt beer. Hope blooms in a flurry of buzzsaw chords, but despair doesn't give up easy. Danny clings to his songwriting as depression laps around his ankles and self-doubt threatens to choke him. When he plays guitar his problems recede, but is it possible to survive on moments of euphoria in 4/4 time? Negative Creep is a novel for people who love loud bands in small rooms with sticky floors.
Autorenporträt
Patrick Clarke is an independent novelist from Adelaide South Australia. His work draws as heavily on punk and alternative rock influences as it does on literature. As a young man, he turned to creativity to escape the confines of a working class upbringing, playing guitar in garages with other long-haired yobs. Although music remains a passion, he quickly realised prose fiction was where his true talent lay and he has pursued it ever since. These days he is most often to be found in a quiet corner with his notebooks, although he does have a habit of playing guitar far too loud when he's supposed to be writing.
