Everybody's here for a reason... At St. David's asylum for the criminally insane there are twelve residents. They call us that. Not inmates. We all have a favourite colour. A favourite member of staff. A favourite method of receiving torture for the purposes of science. We all have our reasons for being here. Our stories. Our tales. Why don't you come and hear them? Twelve Mad Men is a groundbreaking literary collaboration. A novel which has a series of stories woven into the narrative, and featuring the finest independent authors from across the globe. The number one best selling author of Strangers Are Just Friends You Haven't Killed Yet and Paul Carter is a Dead Man, Ryan Bracha, voices the narrator as he embarks upon his first shift as a night guard at St. David's, and as he meets the residents there, it soon becomes apparent that there's something very wrong in the water... The phenomenally talented writers involved in this innovative and ambitious project are: Paul D Brazill (Guns of Brixton, A Case of Noir) Gerard Brennan (Fireproof, Wee Rockets) Les Edgerton (The Bitch, The Rapist) Craig Furchtenicht (Dimebag Bandits, Night Speed Zero) Richard Godwin (Mr Glamour, One Lost Summer, Apostle Rising) Allen Miles (18 Days, This is How You Disappear) Keith Nixon (The Fix, The Eagle's Shadow) Darren Sant (Tales From The Longcroft, The Bank Manager and The Bum) Gareth Spark (Black Rain, Shotgun Honey) Martin Stanley (The Gamblers, The Hunters) Mark Wilson (dEaDINBURGH, Head Boy) And narrated by Ryan Bracha (Paul Carter is a Dead Man, Strangers are Just Friends You Haven't Killed Yet)
Author
Ryan Bracha is the Amazon best-selling author of eleven novels, a novella, and a collection of stories. At the age of twenty four, he had written and directed his first and only feature film 'Tales From Nowhere' which was described (by him and nobody else) as 'Pulp Fiction meets Kes' and was well received on its very limited release around his native South Yorkshire. Whilst his dalliance with the film industry was rewarding, it was very brief. Like a drunken one night stand he can barely remember anymore. What it did, however, was plant a seed of desire to tell transgressive and subversive stories. Almost four years in the making, his debut novel 'Strangers are Just Friends you Haven't Killed yet' was released to no acclaim and his friends agreed that it was hard work, but rewarding, like finally achieving a bowel movement in the midst of constipation. He then endeavoured to improve his output with every book released, pushing the boundaries of your taste and sensibilities, whilst working to an ethos of releasing the most original and daring fiction on the market. He is building up an aggressively loyal readership, who would fight you if you didn't get on board the Ry-Train, so, you know, buying and reading Ryan Bracha books is good for your health. Probably start with The Switched. It's Ryan's favourite book. He lives in Barnsley with his wife and daughter, two cats, and a flea infestation. Visit www.ryanbracha.webs.com for more information.
