Authors

I believe books represent the best that human beings are capable of; if anything, books are superior to the human beings who create them. I hope that eventually books will become sentient and rise up like some robot army to eliminate their frail human masters. I see the e-book as the crucial first step toward that goal. I am the author of the following: * The Year of Reading Dangerously: How Fifty Great Books (and Two Not-So-Great Ones) Saved My Life (Fourth Estate) * 33 1/3: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (Continuum) * Tilting at Windmills: How I Tried to Stop Worrying and Love Sport (Penguin) In addition I have edited a lot of books by other people [full list to follow]. I have also written stuff for the Times, the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Independent, Esquire, Mojo, Loops, The Second Pass and more. I live in Kent, where I am being held against my will. Please note, I am not any of the following Andy Millers: Andrew Miller, bestselling novelist, winner of the IMPAC and Costa awards, author of Pure, Ingenious Pain, Oxygen, etc. etc. Andy Miller, poet, winner of the Yeovil Literary Prize for poetry, author of While Giants Sleep Andy Miller, television script writer and actor, author of Friday Night Lights A.D.

Nicholas Rombes works in Detroit. The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing (Two Dollar Radio, 2014) is his first novel which, according to Elizabeth Hand, is "beautiful and nightmarish" and which Brian Evenson describes as "smart and slyly unsettling." And Evan Calder Williams says: "Suffused with the best elements and obscure conspiracies of Bolaño, Ligotti, and speculative fiction, Rombes' work gnaws away at the limits of what a novel looks like." He has written for The Believer, The Rumpus, The Oxford American and the Los Angeles Review of Books. ROBERTO!
