Dan Rhodes Bücher

'Oh Scheiße', sagte sie. 'Ich hab die Prinzessin umgebracht.' Die Pariserin Véronique verlässt nach einem Streit über Musik ihren Freund Jean-Pierre und fährt trotz einiger Gläser Wein mit dem Auto nach Hause. Am nächsten Tag dämmert es ihr, trotz Kater: Sie hatte unterwegs einen Unfall. Die Delle in ihrem Fiat Uno bestätigt das, und langsam kommt die Erinnerung wieder. Als sie den Fernseher einschaltet, wird gemeldet, dass Prinzessin Diana bei einem Autounfall ums Leben gekommen ist – und Véronique ist sich sicher, die Prinzessin auf dem Gewissen zu haben. Ein skurriler, unglaublich lustiger und pointenreicher Roman, der ein wahres Ereignis zum Kern hat, von dort aus aber die verrücktesten Kapriolen schlägt.

The first official book from TikTok and YouTube phenomenon, The Magic Man, Dan Rhodes.

* 'This is Life' is a missing baby mystery and an enchanted Parisian adventure. Hand in hand with lovable heroine Aurelie Renard, you will see life as you've never seen it before, discover the key to great art, witness the true cost of love, and learn how all these things may be controlled by the in-breath of a cormorant."

A chance encounter prompts an ageing professor to regret a lifetime of wasted opportunities; a beautiful wife tests her husband by making herself hideous; for the love of a girl, a boy turns himself into a violoncello. Funny, magical and strange, in these seven short stories Dan Rhodes lays bare the pain and enchantment of love.

A hilarious satire on the Literary World which takes no prisoners as it skewers authors, agents, publishers and reviewers alike.

Although he started it third and finished it second, this was Dan Rhodes' first book to be published. It was written between October 1997 and November 1998, while he was working on Cherry Gardens Farm in Kent/Sussex border country. Rhodes would write the stories in his head while tying in rows of raspberries or picking gooseberries, often in the driving rain. Sometimes they would let him drive the tractor.

The cult storyteller's most original, outrageous, and heart-rending work yeta wicked novel perfect for (grown-up) fans of Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman, Scarlett Thomas, The Mighty Boosh, and Roald Dahl In a room above a bizarre German museum, far from the prying eyes of strangers, lives the Old Man. Caretaker of the museum by day, by night he enjoys the sound of silence, broken by the occasional crunch of a spider between his blackened teeth. The Old Man, the respectable Doctor Ernst Frohlicher, his greedy dog Hans, and a cast of grotesque and hilarious townsfolk all find their lives thrown together as they uncover a crime so outrageous that it will shock the world. From its sinister opening to its explosive denouement, this dark tale blends lavishly entertaining storytelling with Rhodes's macabre imagination, entrancing originality, and magical touch.
