Nonce, Grindhouse and Crust
A Veritable Overload of Filth!
COME TO BIRMINGHAM (THE UK ONE)!
Got no plans for August 24? All alone? Abandoned by friends and family? Exiled by your neighbours? On the run from the law? Then come to the Chapter One Birmingham Book Con at the Night Owl in Digbeth, Birmingham, UK, and hide out. It’s free to get in, and you can say hello to me, and all the other lovely people.
Not only are there author readings, panels (including one on the place of comedy in horror, during which I shall be lowering the tone), and quizzes (what weighs more: fifteen emperor penguins or a Series 2 Long Wheel Base Land Rover?), but you can also pick up a variety of signed books.
I shall be offering my full inventory, including the newly released Crust Investigates, as well as pre-release copies of Mondo Perverso: Welcome to the Grindhouse and Nonce!.
I also have it on good authority that DE McCluskey and Ashley Lister will be forming a wrestling tag team and taking on all-comers for a chance to win a ride on Matthew Cash’s three-legged donkey!
HEE HAW ON KU
For the first time, I’ve put a book on KU! I will be adding other titles in the near future, but for those of you who have subscriptions, now’s a chance to read Hee Haw as a part of the KU package!
Hee Haw is a dark, psychological horror, in which nothing is quite what it seems.
When Colin, a middle-aged fantasist and loner who lives with his parents, snatches a girl he finds in the woods, things quickly start to unravel. While his intention is to act out his most depraved fantasies, something about the girl unnerves him. Who is the mysterious Alice, and why does she make him feel so uneasy?
As he learns more about her, he finds himself thrust ever deeper into a world of darkness and duplicity. What is real, and why is he, the abuser, feeling so vulnerable?
“Blending physical and emotional exploitations with a knockout ending is why this book will remain with you for a long, long time.”
Horror Bookworm Reviews
“Once again, this is another great read, from the twisted mind of Peter Caffrey. There are many triggers, such as child abduction, violence, profanity, blood, gore, and murder, and I loved it.”

CRUST INVESTIGATES IN PAPERBACK AND EBOOK
The complete Crust Investigates is now available in paperback and eBook formats from Amazon!
London, the 1880s, a city torn between burgeoning affluence and abject poverty. Fear stalks the streets in the form of Jack the Ripper, the slums are suffering an epidemic of crime and depravity, and the population is a seething mass of undesirables and ne’er-do-wells. London, nay, England, needs a saviour!
Many in the capital know of the legendary detective, Sherlock Homes, but not as well known is that further up the staircase from his abode at 221B Baker Street is 221C, home to another notable mind in the world of sleuthery.
Offensive, obstinate, devious and depraved, Crust brings an unparalleled cynicism to the world of paranormal investigations, aided by the fact he believes in nothing which doesn’t come in a pint bottle. With the true values of a Victorian gentleman, he sets out to do the thing he loves most: making easy money!
When Crust is on the case, no one is safe!

NONCE!
Nestled between the purple haze-infused sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the anarchic chaos of punk rock, something strange happened in the world of rock music. Glam Rock fused high camp theatricals with driven anthems and fist-pumping tunes. Appealing to the young and impressionable, the movement even dragged in many of contemporary music’s more relevant names.
However, the sins of the period are also well documented, with Gary Glitter and DJ Jimmy Saville being publicly exposed some years later. One name which doesn’t get mentioned as often is Danny Dazzler.
Dazzler’s flame of fame arguably burned brightest in his own mind, but after a short-lived moment in the spotlight, his fall from grace was so odious the music industry and mass media conspired to starve him of the thing he craved most: publicity.
Now, for the first time ever, and more than forty years after he first crawled into the public’s psyche, his story will be told.
Nonce! is a no-holds-barred exposé of Glam Rock’s nastiest specimen.
Available 5 October 2024
Nonce! will be available on 5 October 2024 in paperback and eBook versions. Pre-orders will be available soon! However, if you want a pre-release signed copy, pop along to Chapter One Birmingham Book Con and say hello!
A CLOSING THOUGHT…
Enough said!
