Never afraid to try something different, D G Jones presents Politically Motivated, a mini book of political thrillers coloured with surreal humour. Forgoing his usual explicit sex and violence as in THE MACHINE or the sick and depraved imagery of Strange Erotica, he instead makes use of the most powerful weapon in any writer’s arsenal, sarcasm. With corrosive wit and acid venom D G Jones launches his size 10 boot firmly into the groin of the political establishment in an oddball ensemble of politically motivated stories. This book is for anyone who has had enough of politicians…Politically Motivated includes:An audacious attempt to assassinate the Prime Minister by breaking wind.The Government’s novel initiative to solving long term unemployment. The letter many would love to send.Snowy the cat accidently causes Armageddon.A new era of politics where the ad men have taken control and suddenly being fat or ugly is punishable by death. Now proofread by Dr. KContains some bad language and occasional flatulence.Praise for THE MACHINE:“Really, really good. Part horror, part science fiction, part mystery, part romance, part allegory, I was genuinely truly sorry to come to the end of the book. Mr Jones tells his stories with the same sort of ease and flow demonstrated by professional dancers. This is the sort of book that makes you think - several aspects of 7's life and thoughts made me look at myself and question my approach to life. That it does this without being obvious or laboured is the mark of a great book. Instead of Orwell I thought of Iain Banks - I can't give much higher praise than that. True there are probably more spelling mistakes than can be accounted for by the intelligent but functionally illiterate narrator - but I find it very easy to forgive when I know I will remember this book for such a long time.” SeanusPraise for Dave Malarkey:“Original and amazing. An incredible piece of work, the stories are funny, disgusting, terrifying and bizarre, leaving the reader in a whirlwind of grotesque imagery and laughing uncomfortably in a daze, D G Jones continues to amaze with his powerful style and unsettling sense of humour.” MH
