The Antipope: Volume 1: 01 (Brentford Trilogy) by Robert Rankin
Fun listen on Audible, with sound effects and all. It was nice to get back to Rankin. Far-fetched doesn't mean that it's less real.

The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse… by Robert Rankin
Fun and funny. Love the references to standard detective novels/stories and really giggled over the not so thinly veiled James Bond references. Must hunt down the sequel now. I honestly don't remember where I even got this book.

The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse… by Robert Rankin
The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse takes place in Toy City, which is inhabited by wealthy nursery rhyme characters, sentient playthings, and a brand new serial killer. The task of finding the latter individual falls to P.I. Bill Winkie; when Winkie disappears, his furry sidekick, Eddie Bear, takes over the investigation and enlists the aid of Jack, a gun-toting 13-year-old seeking his fortune in Toy City. Their subsequent adventures include (to quote the back copy): "a lot of heavy drinking, bad behaviour, fast car chases, gratuitous sex and violence, bizarre toy fetishism and all-around grossness."

And it delivers. In spades.… (more)
