What is a sociopath to do? Dyson Devereux's life appears to be on track. He has a way with the ladies, impeccable good taste, and as the recently promoted head of Burials and Cemeteries at Newton Borough Council, a job that demands respect. But Dyson is becoming annoyed with his drug-addled girlfriend's decline, fed up with his banal work colleagues, and incensed by Newton New Cemetery's gaudy memorial structures. When Dyson suspects someone of having a darker past than him, he has a chance for redemption. Will he seize it, or is his destiny to be a life of toil in Burials and Cemeteries? Brutal, bleak and darkly comical, Necropolis is a savage indictment of the politically correct, health and safety obsessed public sector.

Meet Dyson Devereux, Britain's answer to Patrick Bateman. FOR LOVERS OF TRANSGRESSIVE FICTION AND DARK HUMOUR EVERYWHERE A DELICIOUS SLICE OF SOCIOPATHIC SATIRE '...it's the well-crafted and perfectly executed satirical observations, along with the dry wit and devious humour that makes 'Necropolis' such a delight to read.' - Chris Hall (Top 500 Amazon Reviewer. Vine Voice) 'I remain slightly troubled as to why I found myself applauding a sociopath for being so thoroughly entertaining.' - Little Bookness Lane (Top 1000 Amazon Reviewer) As well as being a very British satire, this black comedy will appeal to fans of transgressive fiction authors like Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh.

It'll also answer the important questions in life, like how to test chloroform? What's a cremulator? And why can't you bring a chainsaw to an office party?
