Serial Killer: Read Em and Weep Book 1

Serial Killer: Read Em And Weep Book 1

A rotten childhood. An ingenious crime. An unexpected hero.
London, 1975. Dave Maudling escaped his unhappy childhood by losing himself in comic books. Now an editor for the same comics that served as his escape, he hates his readers and hides dangerous ideas in his most popular strip.

But when his pipe bomb instructions are used against a child molestor, Dave stumbles into a new world – and discovers that he may be a hero, after all.

“Just finished this twisted, very funny novel – 1st in a series by Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill.”
Ian Rankin, Author
Inspector Rebus Series

“Made me laugh! Reminded me a bit of Tom Sharpe. Never thought I would see the phrase “carpet bumming” in print form. Recommended.” Amazon reviewer

“I really loved this book. Set in the seedy 70’s publishing world, our anti-hero Dave is a troubled man-child who really wants to breeze through life doing as little as possible” Amazon reviewer

“Well, Pat and Kevin certainly understand kids. Almost as well as the books anti-hero, Dave Maudling. A man, intent on getting as many of his readers injured or killed as possible.” Amazon reviewer

“I stopped to read it for five minutes tonight but ended up glued to it for the last few hours. I’ve not laughed out loud and had such a fun time reading a novel for such a long time.” Amazon reviewer

“This is a book with teeth, it will flick you in the balls with a towel and get off with your girlfriend behind your back…you will devour it and ask where the next serving is coming from.”

“Any fan of British comics or satire should buy this book.”
Amazon reviewer

“Apart from the disguised history of 70’s British comics, you get a bizarre murder mystery and some brilliantly realised characters with some very strange peccadilloes. All the dark humour evident in Marshal Law and Nemesis the Warlock is here in spades.”
Amazon reviewer

“However you define this book – comedy, period drama, thriller, expose – it’s most definitely a page turner which I couldn’t put down.”
Amazon reviewer

“Buy this book. I guarantee that once you finish it you will be aching for the sequel.”
Amazon reviewer

“What starts as a grotesque parody of the early days of the comic industry in this country slowly settles into a black comedy hybrid of American Psycho, Kill Your Friends and Black Books.”
Amazon reviewer

“Once Pat gets his hook into you, you have to keep reading.”
Amazon reviewer

“When the talents behind the darkly comic Marshal Law write a novel about a lazy serial killer, a murder mystery, and the 70s era of British comics you know you’re in for a treat.”
Amazon reviewer
