The Pelican School of Bird is a tale of unscrupulous exploitation, of exotic animals cruel, fierce and beatific, of hallucinogenic happenings and magnificent myths, of innocence and guilt, of dreams turned sour and wings grown tired, but most of all it is a story of the unshakeable bond of friendship. Fearless Faria Gets Sucked Down The Plughole And Meets The Monsters From Hell pitches a serene and quietly self-confident girl into a nightmare world of absurd terrors and crippling red tape.
A world where kindness is scant and the laws of physics are most definitely not respected. Our heroine will take all in her stride. The Weekend is a modern French horror story where all is most definitely crooked as the protagonist stumbles and screams from one inexplicable bad trip to another. The King of Colours is an homage to our beautiful universe, a tale of at least one genius, yet a warning against the imprudence of over-ambition, as the anti-hero of the piece falls headlong into traps already inhabited with the writhing, imprisoned bodies and lost souls of Macbeth and Professor Victor Frankenstein.
Escape to Vinyl is the story of what happens when a fairly ordinary man, seemingly oppressed by the prevailing dystopia, finds refuge in the Doctors of Madness album, Late Night Movies, All Night Brainstorms. Sprinting breathlessly through chaos, love, absurdity, depression, deprivation, camaraderie and horror to evade weird-torsoed pursuers, the protagonist of the piece realises that 'this a tale of malevolence, but I trust the storyteller.'

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Richard Batchelor

The Pelican School of Bird and Other Stories is Richard Batchelor's second book and first work of fiction. His first book, The Temp Pest, a largely autobiographical half-comedy mostly set in warehouses and packing factories, is also available to download on Smashwords. Batchelor is also a musician and the front man in the longstanding rock and roll indie group, Ricky Spontane. The group have released three studio albums; Spontane Time, Hit the Town and Spontane 3, as well as a clutch of singles.
A new EP, The Seeds of Doom, will hopefully be available to download by the time you've read this book. Batchelor has also released a solo album, Richard I. Batchelor, who currently lives in Chartres, France, is a hypochondriac, a Fats Domino obsessive and a bungler. He is both imprisoned and liberated by his own imagination. It depends on the day. He can be contacted on: mailto:rjbatchelor2501@yahoo.co.ukAmendment May 2017.
Though Morrissey is oft quoted and rightly so during my first book, any genius he had seems to have dissipated into idiocy and bigotry. It's a pity, but true. I have no time for the man these days.
