The Trial of Jonah
by Justin Robertson published by Velocity Press 21.02.25
The confessions of a time-travelling cultural vampire wherein the alternative history of late 20th-century counter-culture is revealed. Sent on a holy mission at a young age the young demon Jonah Plantagenet uses his God-given gifts to pillage the past.
From the mists of pre-history via Roman Britain to the birth of Acid House, the arcades of Slough to the court of King John, chip shops in Manchester to biker rumbles in California this Son of a Demon God takes the words from J G Ballard’s mouth, swipes the genius of Kandinsky, sucks out the minds of famous DJs, possesses Rudolf Steiner and resurrects the Beatles.
Oh yes, and for the crate diggers and fellow enthusiasts there are handy playlists peppered throughout the book providing a mental soundtrack
