Garth Jones writes with superb wit and wicked humour. The storytelling format used is reminiscent of Stephen King's Carrie whilst the style of Jones' writing is unequivocally his own. Brilliant and undoubtedly Australian, with a blending of metal/rock culture and pepperings of the horrifying and supernatural. Not for the faint of heart or those with sensitive sensibilities, with a profuse use of expletives and Australian slang (so if you're not an Aussie you might need to keep your phone on hand to look up a few word meanings). 
This wasn't exactly my cup of tea but if you enjoy grunge literature and have a wicked sense of humour this could be right up your alley!
