The Grotesquely Lonely

N S Calcutt

In a world of almost seven billion people, it's too easy to feel alone.


Henry Travers gets up each morning and goes to work.
He despises his job and has long since given up on trying to fit in with his colleagues.
He has long since given up on trying to fit in with society in general.

Laura Biggs is chasing new memories to replace the old ones.
She is trapped in a marriage she never wanted.
Everyone she meets always ends up disappointing her.

A story of outsiders looking in.

 

READER MEET AUTHOR

N S Calcutt

I've spent a healthy percentage of my time on Earth masturbating and watching Coronation Street. Not at the same time, obviously.


Back in that small bedroom we both began to get undressed in total silence. The only thing that was keeping me from shrieking and exiting by the nearest window was the thought that she was probably even more worried than I was. I avoided looking across at where she was getting changed to avoid her any embarrassment. I climbed tentatively under the duvet and she climbed into bed beside me in a pale blue Minnie Mouse nightie. I must admit, it’s pretty difficult to think passionate thoughts when you’ve got a cartoon mouse in a big pink bow, staring back at you. We’d started kissing and I’d let my hands wander but, to be honest, I was pretty glad when she’d stop me cos I wasn’t exactly too sure what to do if I’d have got to where they were wandering. To tell you the truth, I was happy just lying there kissing, but I felt like she’d think there was something wrong with me if I didn’t try it on with her.
Chapters 1-3 uploaded. Complete..

Hi Julie. A gritty and harrowing read but enjoyable nonetheless. The biggest compliment i can offer you is that the characters and the scenario seem real, whereas often characters in these type of northern 'kitchen-sink' stories can appear cliched and stereotypical. Ignore some of the comments you h... view book

I just wanted to take the opportunity to respond to your comment. Firstly, I appreciate you taking the time to read a section of my book and to provide feedback. Secondly, although I appreciate a critique, I dispute that you can tell me what my story about my life has to be. I'm not trying t... view book

Hi Shawn (!). Read the first six chapters and i'll be definitely back to read more, so thats an endorsement in its self. This is really well written and full of humour and you set each scene very well with enough enticing lines at the end of the chapters to persuade the reader to keep page turning. ... view book

Hi Jilli. I've written an autobiography myself so I know how difficult it is to lay yourself bare to the world in a book. You're obviously an incredibly brave and gutsy individual though. It takes tremendous strength to do all you have done and i'm sure you're an inspiration to your kids and the res... view book
