IT'S AVAILABLE!
It's a fabulous, funny and expansive book. I love its excess. I always feel partied out after reading it. – Chris Hamilton-Emery

About the work
Wrapped in necromancy, invocations and references to the Devil, The Grimoire of Grimalkin is a baroque excursion into language taking Bakhtin’s ideas of polyglossia, Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome model and other postmodern philosophies and running amok with them. The work is rife with literary, film, and television references, and a particular debt is owed to The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Any notions of “meaning” are consistently challenged in Akhtar’s primordial forge, where language melts into a bubbling cauldron of delicious trickery, sex and death, magick and mayhem and, above all, love. This is a work of contemporary Gothic, with a punk core and an anarchic sense of humour.
