Description
A mysterious and fantastical tale unfolds in Robert Rankin's Necrophenia. During World War II, England's top-secret Ministry of Serendipity enlisted the services of Aleister Crowley to create a Homunculus, sparking a chain of events that spans nearly seven decades. This epic story follows Tyler, a rock star and private eye, as he navigates a world filled with magical creatures, historical figures, and supernatural phenomena. As Tyler's journey unfolds, it becomes clear that the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. A monster in human form seeks to turn the Earth into a Necrosphere, a planet devoid of life. Along the way, Tyler encounters a cast of characters who each contribute to the unfolding drama, including ukulele maestro George Formby and a corner shopkeeper from Brentford. With its unique blend of magic, mystery, and historical references, Necrophenia is a captivating read for fans of fantasy and adventure.
