About this Item

A special edition, slipcased, of 1000 copies, produced exclusively for the Ottakars bookselling chain in England, which regrettably got itself taken over a short time after this was produced. It is therefore very scarce, especially in this unread condition. A marvellous book, one of the great novel treats of recent years. Signed in the author's characteristic sepia ink. Sturdy and attractive slipcase, silver gilt top to the text block, unread copy, perfect for collectors, and issued without a jacket and with a decorative special binding. The only flaw is a faulty silver gilt 'A' on the spine. This was published at least a year in advance of the other limited edition, from Hill House. 0.0 0.0 0.0. Seller Inventory # 003622

About this title

Synopsis:

Fat Charlie Nancy is not actually fat. He was fat once but he is definitely not fat now. No, right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry, confused and more than a little scared – right now his life is spinning out of control, and it is all his dad’s fault.



If his rotter of an estranged father hadn’t dropped dead at a karaoke night, Charlie would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god. He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider, who is also a god. And there would be no chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life, flat and fiancee, or, to make matters worse, be doing a much better job of it than him. Desperate to reclaim his life, Charlie enlists the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their unique brand of voodoo – and between them they unleash a bitter and twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends and badness begins is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of pain?
