NEW BOOK COMING THIS OCTOBER
Danny’s on a mission: Find Death and have a word.
After losing his girlfriend of eight years to someone else Danny Smith finds himself nearly forty, lost, and surrounded by bin bags full of his clothes in his parent’s spare room.
Mourning not only the loss of the most important person in his life, but also the only future he ever really planned, his thoughts turn to death. If he’s going to start his life over, he may as well start at the end and work back. Find Death and become, if not friends, then at least on nodding terms. It’s not a good plan, but it’s the only one he’s got.
In this reckless and vivid true story of death, tequila, rebirth, hangovers, and redemption, Danny stalks Death to Mexico, the home of: The Day Of The Dead Festival, Santa Muerte, the patron saint of drug dealers and the dispossessed, and a bloody cartel drug war that’s been going since the 80s. Death seems to be big over there.
In his hunt for The Reaper, Danny will find ancient temples, vibrant bustling markets, white sands, weird tourists, and a neon blur of excess. Can he find his love of life now the love of his life has gone?
Dumped and desperate, Danny Smith goes hunting for death to understand life. This is the heart of Gonzo given an electric shock; writing about the Grim Reaper has no right to be so vividly alive.
