The world is coming to an end, and the angels don't give a damn.
Oxford, England: Marcus (who works part-time at the falafel kiosk
in town) awakens to find a giant black and white bird at his
window. He's sure that's what he sees: a giant bird with feathers
that throb with sinister portent. He shakes himself awake and gets
ready for work, unaware that his world no longer exists. Beijing,
China: Su-Ki Chin (a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl) stands at the
bus stop with her schoolmates, but their bus never arrives.
Returning home, she finds the family chickens have gone berserk,
chasing her brothers around the yard and leaving her parents for
dead. It's like she's in a dream-the chickens tower over her
terrified brothers. She will soon become one of those hybrid birds.
Planet of the Owls, a new genreclectic novel by UK-based
artist/writer Mike Philbin, is a split-narrative story that tells
of the time-and-space traveling powers of the Gods who have finally
arrived on planet Earth in the guise of birds: robins, crows,
magpies and owls. An age-old political conspiracy is revealed among
the angel clan, and mankind becomes its innocent victim. The fate
of the Earth lies with Marcus and Su-Ki Chin-only their
extra-species love can save a planet about to be abandoned by the
Gods. Planet of the Owls is a radical new interpretation of
'spirituality' as seen from a higher dimension.
When you're drowning in the corporate world, you'll need a mentor
to keep you from going under. Bukkakeworld is the conscious
evolution of the staid three-act narrative horror genre. It's a
book about YOU, the corporate lackey, the indentured, the
subordinate. Stuck in a job you cannot stomach, under a manager you
want to annihilate, in a corporation that wants to grind you into
nothing more than human grease to lubricate its inhuman
profit-making machine. You are not alone. There are literally
millions of you all over the world, the true Samaritans of
contemporary democracy. You take it in the face every working day
of your life. There seems to be no respite from your suffering, no
reward for your hardship. But even in the depths of your drowning
desperation, there is a light, a tiny light, beaming out to save
you. She looks nothing like you. She is clean and tidy. The
constant drizzle that rots everything it touches doesn't seem to
settle on her. She has a light in her eyes, like a terrorist bomb
exploding very, very slowly. Frame by frame, a new star blooming.
She is your corporate messiah. But who is her little furry
companion, Kitten? And what of the sinister chrome-like Glimpsers?
How do they tie in to a swirling narrative that drags you through a
death camp of corporate revelation? Bukkakeworld is a savage
indictment of the corporate mentality, a challenging, twisted book
that assails the underpinnings of modern society and does so much
more than spit in your face.
