Synopsis

Somebody wants to turn Blackpool into a seedy tacky and depraved town Has a dark presence from the other side risen up to conquer Britain's northern holiday resorts? The Three Hidden Masters (two from Hemel Hempstead and one from Bricket Wood) need to find out before it's too late... Described by one reader as "Fear and Loathing in Blackpool meets the Illuminatus trilogy" this is the story of Nigel, Wayne and Clint and their quest to thwart a mysterious evil conspiracy. A quest which starts as sensibly as it goes on: in a model village with a six inch high cowboy, a Red Indian and a motorcycle cop. At our heroes' disposal are a deep knowledge of occult practices, as well as a considerable quantity of cheap dark rum. If they are to succeed they must gamble, steal and possibly score. A tram chase is a distinct possibility, as is a ritual involving the only thing in a house capable of creating a supernatural vortex However, they need to save the universe by Sunday evening because they have to be back at work on Monday morning. "Imagine Douglas Adams writing a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Occult" Pagan Dawn Magazine "It's all riotously funny and improbably probable" Pentacle Magazine "A combination of Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin and Hunter S. Thompson" Elizabeth A White "Read and enjoy. Then read again, and think." Ramsey Dukes

About this title

Synopsis

Clint, Nigel and Wayne are three middle aged friends with a secret. They are master magicians, Hidden Masters in fact. However, they are not Hidden Tibetan Masters for they are The Three Hidden Masters, two from Hemel Hempstead and one from Bricket Wood. They discover a conspiracy to build casinos in Blackpool, thus making it the Las Vegas of the north, turning the resort into a seedy tacky and depraved town. Something needs to be done. Unable to turn down a challenge they head north at the weekend to put an end to the plot. However, they need to save the universe by Sunday evening because they have to be back at work on Monday morning. This is occult fiction where magick and supernatural events occur in the modern world, but this book is not for kids; this is magickal fiction strictly for adults. What you will find is tarot, astrology and grown men in robes, performing rituals, and generally behaving strangely. All this is wrapped up in Jack Barrow's off-beat wit and quirky perspective on the counter culture of modern occult paganism, pop philosophy, cheap dark rum and drugs.
