Got Elvis?

We have. To be precise, we have My Elvis Blackout by Simon Crump, the latest release from Galley Beggar Press. This is an ebook re-release of a book first published in 2000. It sounds quite mad. Here’s some of the blurb:

In these 37 short stories, the King of Rock and Roll – “hero and model to teenagers the world over” – joins a choir in order to torture and murder Christians, labours under the delusion that he’s a major rock-star (when really he’s just an inmate in an asylum who’s afraid of potatoes), and kills both Barbara Cartland and Chris De Burgh. And then he does some bad things too.

Oh dear. Apparently Elvis fans will not be upset. Chris De Burgh fans should probably not buy it.
