Add to basketnach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the shadowed bowels of human existence, where dignity goes to die a silent, sulfurous death, Owen Croft unleashes Don't Follow Through-a merciless autopsy of the fart, that great equalizer of souls. Forget the polite pretense of 'passing gas'; this is the raw, rectal reckoning of our gaseous betrayals, where every rumble is a tiny apocalypse, every whiff a whisper from the void.Croft, with the cold precision of a coroner dissecting a corpse mid-bloat, peels back the layers of our digestive despair. From the stealthy 'silent but deadly'-that odorless assassin slipping through crowded elevators like a farting Grim Reaper-to the trumpet blasts that shatter boardroom silences and bury careers in olfactory graves, he chronicles the carnage. Delve into the gut microbiome's microbial mutiny, where trillions of bacterial traitors ferment your regrets into hydrogen sulfide Armageddon. Savor historical horrors: Aristophanes' ancient Athenians guffawing at gaseous gladiators, while Victorian prudes choked on corseted emissions, their stiff upper lips curling in eternal judgment.But this isn't mere scatology-it's existential flatulence philosophy. Why do we clench against the inevitable, only to explode in moments of exquisite humiliation Croft argues: farts aren't just funny; they're fate's cruel joke, reminding us that beneath our fragile facades, we're all just walking colons awaiting the final purge. With dark wit sharper than a suppository spike, he offers tactical grimoires for damage control: blame-shifting rituals for the damned, apology elegies for the socially eviscerated, and a radical call to embrace the toot as your last laugh before the lights go out.If life's a terminal illness, Don't Follow Through is the black-comic palliative: laugh or choke on the truth. Because in the end, we're all just one bad bean away from the great beyond-and it'll probably smell like cabbage. Grab it, guffaw, and gasp for air. Your intestines will thank you. Or curse you eternally.

Owen Croft was forged in the relentless drizzle of Manchester's backstreets, where the Irwell murmurs secrets to the stone warehouses and the city's heartbeat thumps like a faulty piston. Born and raised amid the red-brick sprawl of the North, this unassuming bloke traded the roar of Friday night lock-ins for the hush of forgotten moors, where he could finally hear his own thoughts without the din of the world crashing in.
By day, Owen's a ghost in the machine-tinkering with words in a creaky attic studio overlooking the Pennines, far from the pixelated frenzy of social scrolls and siren calls. He's the sort who brews a pot of builder's tea strong enough to strip paint, cracks open a dog-eared Philip K. Dick or Raymond Chandler, and lets the pages pull him into alternate realities where Manchester's canals twist into wormholes or its cobbled alleys hide syndicate shadows. Writing, for him, is less a craft than a quiet rebellion: a way to wrestle the chaos of cyber-noir heists, gene-spliced grudges, and temporal double-crosses onto the page, all laced with that wry, rain-soaked Northern grit.
When he's not chasing plot twists through the ether, you'll find Owen hiking the wild fringes of the Peak District, notebook in hand, scribbling fragments inspired by the wind-whipped heather or a sudden squall. For Owen Croft, the best stories aren't told; they're unearthed, one sodden boot-print at a time. Escape with him. The world's mad enough as it is.
