Henry VIII by A E Moorat
HENRY VIII: WOLFMAN DIVORCED. BEHEADED. DIED. MAULED. SAVAGED. SURVIVED? Henry VIII was the best and bloodiest King ever to have sat on the throne of England. This fast-paced, exciting, gory, inventive and just plain gross retelling of his reign will bring to light the real man behind the myth. When it came to his size, Henry VIII was known for being larger-than-life, with a fearsome temper and bloodthirsty reputation to match; more beast than human, some might say...Be dragged kicking and screaming back 500 years into Tudor England...
'Moorat infuses his tale with enough bravura and over-the-top action to lift it above a horde of similar projects; readers able to stomach the deliriously bloody goings-on will find plenty to enjoy' Starred Review, 'Pick of the Week' -- Publishers Weekly 'Fab, gory, inventive and fun' -- Sarah Broadhurst, The Bookseller 'Moorat crowds so many characters - historical, fictional, supernatural - onto his Victorian stage that the effect is that of a lost Gilbert and Sullivan operetta written under the influence of opium, absinthe and black pudding' -- Washington Post 'Wildly entertaining...Moorat's story rises above mere gimmick thanks to hearty amounts of English history, all given supernatural twists' -- Los Angeles Times
A E Moorat works as a freelance journalist and lives in Leicestershire with his wife and two children
