Bitter and Twisted Tales

A Collection of 14 Short Stories, in which the authentic voice of one of the most exciting and as yet undiscovered writers of macabre fiction shines through.

Each story reveals an aberrant homicidal compulsion, some stained with a morbid sense of humour, but all with a deliciously wicked twist. Paul Roland is the author of more than 50 non-fiction books and has been an equally prolific independent recording artist releasing 20 albums (including the HP Lovecraft inspired 'Re-Animator' ad 'Bates Motel' written specifically for surviving members of the Velvet Underground).

He has been called "the male Kate Bush" by one-time label mate Robyn Hitchcock and "the godfather of Steampunk".

He has a cult following in Europe where he has toured many times both with his band and as a solo performer. 'Bitter and Twisted Tales' is his first collection of short crime fiction.
