Unspeakable Secrets of the Aro Valley

Danyl McLauchlan blogs at Dim-Post:

My book goes on sale next Friday. You can preorder it directly from the VUP online bookshop. Preorders will be (a) signed and (b) signed by me, because apparently it’s ‘unethical’ to get the intern to copy my signature. Ebook format will be available here. (It takes a while for the ebook format to go live at major providers like Apple and Amazon. I’ll keep you updated.)

I’ve not yet read my review copy, but I suspect many will purchase it on the basis of Danyl’s blog writings. I will do a review once I have read my copy. The blurb for it is:

A sleepy bohemian neighbourhood.

An ancient legend from the ancient past.

A brilliant but troubled young writer.

A voluptuous healer.

A shadowy cult and its sinister leader.

A trail of riddles; a hidden artefact.

An explicit sex scene, then a struggle for ultimate power.

And a final, unspeakable secret.

Unspeakable Secrets of the Aro Valley is a dark and hilarious odyssey through Wellington’s underbelly.

Sounds fun. I’m looking forward to reading it.

The launch party for it is on Friday 5 July at Philosophy House in Aro Valley.
