Arise Giles Bastet 9th Heavenly Cat by Helen Lindley

Giles Bastet 9th Heavenly Cat, lord high overseer of accidental death, has awoken to a world that has forgotten all about him and he doesn't like it. Mankind seems to have lost its way and forgotten its duties to Giles and his kind, and Giles, being a curious cat, intends to find out how this has happened. Giles travels through history, shifting through man's wars, empires and literature to find his answers - all the time spreading the chaos only an ancient deity of accidental death can do.
Giles wreaks justice, vengeance and clumsy death on all those that cross his path, from witch trials, to slavery, from man's beginning, to the modern modern shopping mall, Giles' journey shows him the best and worst of mankind, and teaches him a deeper truth about his place in the world.
Multi-genre, multi styled - from Gothic to text from Norse Epic to graphic comic - Giles touches the lives and works of Dante, Hemmingway, Woolf, Poe and others - and always with disastrous consequences. Arise Giles Bastet 9th Heavenly Cat, is a darkly humorous genre crossing journey through the horrors and injustices of history, as seen through the eyes of a minor deity, who knows, mankind should be busy doing other things, like bringing him a bowl of cream in a golden bowl.

Reviews of previous works by Neil S. Reddy -

It is now clear that Reddy writes with a distinct panache and flair for the bizarre and we urge him to continue to woo us with his distinct style and imagination.

Reddy invites you to dive head-first into his weird and wonderful psyche.

Yet again, Reddy promises us fits of raucous laughter, shock and gasping smiles, as in Prepare for carnage, as Reddy is about to wave his creative wand.

Reddy is now in fifth gear. This is on another level.

Reddy certainly delivers in this genre and executes his imagination with dynamic precision.

'This is a brave and audacious delivery of literary genius. There is never a dull moment in the execution of Reddy's creativity and we applaud him for it. He just knows how to affect us with his writing craft, no doubt about it, We never tire or feel disappointed with Reddy's linguistic choices.'

Neil S. Reddy has been slumped over a typewriter for so long that he has been recategorised as an angle-poised lamp and is often assailed by strangers trying to turn him off. Do not pity him. He is a foul mouthed man and is well able to defend himself - he once reduced a giraffe to tears with a lingering sneer. He should never be approached during the hours of darkness without a beverage. He is an outspoken opponent of everything ignorant, ugly, stupid or overpriced. He lives quietly with his family in the U.K but only because they keep him heavily sedated in a cupboard with a lock; that will be forever England...until it sinks into the sea. He has a beard that is older than many people and contains more wildlife than many zoos. He has an irrational fear of soup. He feels nothing but contempt for hamsters. He is not to be trusted. He is troubled, testy and weird to the bone. He also writes stories.
