The Art of Lying and Dying

Gordon Dalton

Artist John Harrison is accidentally killing people. It’s not his fault, he’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time.


Then again, there was that time with the pigs and that unfortunate incident with the vacuum cleaner.

Leaving behind a broken Britain and a secret past, he stumbles across America laughing off his guilt until he is brought face to face with a punishment for his morally defunct misdemeanours. In spite of all the lies and aspirations to build a better life, nothing goes to plan as the accidental body count racks up, forcing him into an even more desperate and horrific course of action.

It's time for Harrison to grow up and stop all the lying and dying. If only he could.

This is the first half of the now completed book. It needs a final edit or two. I look forward to any comments. Enjoy

good work - pitch could perhaps do with a wee edit or rewrite. Likewise, keep an eye on sentance structure, length, etc. It's powerful stuff, so look after it. best g view book

thanks for indepth critique you've hit all the main points on the head - especially staying in that dead voice for so long gets tiresome. it does expand and he gets a little remorseful for about two minutes, but the end justifies the bluntness (i hope). still trying to work some lightness int... view book
