Anyone for Edmund? by Simon Edge
A comedy about the rediscovery of the body of England's ancient patron saint, St Edmund, and a misguided attempt by an ambitious politician to exploit the find for her own ends
'Guaranteed to have you laughing out loud' - The i Paper, 'Hilarious and painfully believable' - The Lady, 'A wildly inventive romp, rich in history and bunk' - Saga Magazine, 'A hugely enjoyable page-turner written with parodic panache' - Yorkshire Times, 'Brilliant - very funny' - Lesley Dolphin, BBC Radio Suffolk, 'This mix of satire, mystery and a few supernatural goings-on makes an entertaining and intriguing read' - Suffolk Magazine
From the author of The End of the World is Flat
The Terg wars are over. Now meet the Yerfs
'Brilliant! Perfectly captures both the absurdity and horror of this madness'. Gareth Roberts.
When Tara Farrier returns to the UK after a long spell as an aid worker in war-torn Yemen, she’s hoping for a well-deserved rest.
But a cultural battleground has emerged while she’s been away, and she’s unprepared for the sensitivities of her new colleagues at an international thinktank. A throwaway reference to volcanic activity millions of years ago gets her into hot water and she discovers she belongs to the group reviled by fashionable activists as ‘Young Earth Rejecting Fascists’, or ‘Yerfs’. Faster than she can say ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex’, she is at the centre of a gruelling legal drama.
In the keenly awaited follow-up to his acclaimed The End of the World is Flat, Simon Edge stabs once again at modern crank beliefs and herd behaviour with stiletto-sharp satire.
