The Brightonomicon (GOLLANCZ S.F.) - Softcover

Robert Rankin's THE BRENTFORD TRILOGY - five books and counting - catapulted him into the dizzy heights of "cult success", but over the years that cult following has grown substantially: Robert Rankin is now the second best-selling writer of comic fantasy in Britain, after Terry "He Always Makes Me Laugh" Pratchett.
Were you aware that, hidden in the streets of Brighton, are twelve ancient constellations, like the Bevendean bat and the Hangleton Hound . . . well, there are: and on each one hangs a tale, a tale so strange that only The Lad Himself, that inveterate spinner of stories and talker of the toot, Hugo Rune, can get to the bottom of them. And he'd better do it quickly, because if he doesn't solve the dozen mysteries before the year is out, that'll be the end of the world as we know it. And everything.
