http://www.fourwallseightwindows.com/bookaylett2.html

Extractions: Stories With Slaughtermatic, nominated for the 1998 Philip K. Dick Award for best original paperback of the year, Steve Aylett introduced us to the charming burg of Beerlight, where to kill is "less a murder than a mannerism." In Toxicology, Aylett’s latest invasion of the New World, the "wickedly funny" mastermind expands his sordid and hilarious universe. Twenty short stories — ten of which appear here for the first time — are included in the collection. Some are extensions of the Beerlight world of heroic criminals and villainous cops — others are set in unique worlds, amalgams of Aylett’s twisted, J. G. Ballard-like nightmare visions and sardonic sense of humor. "If Armstrong Was Interesting" is a series of scenarios positing how the American hero might have jazzed up his voyage to the moon and back. In "Gigantic" corpses rain from the sky, payback for the massacres and casual murders of our century. "Dread Honour" is a first-person send-up of a more traditional English tale, told by a narrator in the habit of taking his Earl Grey "intravenously." "The Met Are All for This" is a (hilarious) cyberpunk transformation of Kafka’s "Metamorphosis." Aylett takes us beyond cyberpunk and the fiction of the brat-pack chroniclers of New York and London nightlife. He is in the vanguard of an irreverent, thoughtful and very funny new generation of writers.

Extractions: The Crime Studio The critics on Steve Aylett: "Both the bullets and the gags fly fast and furious in Steve Aylett's hyperkinetically violent, hilarious time-traveling crime caper.… While the body count is high, the tone is anything but grim, thanks to Aylett's wickedly funny commentary on the bullet-riddled, nihilistic metropolis and its inhabitants." — New York Times Book Review "Characters spark off one another like flints in a spin dryer. Out spew images as shiny and as perfect as new-minted coins.… How, you wonder, did we ever do without these phrases? … A jaw-droppingly dark and funny work." — The Guardian (U.K.) "Aylett is an author to watch." — Publishers Weekly In the city of Beerlight, "Every crime is as unique as a snowflake.…" A rising star on both sides of the Atlantic, Aylett has established himself as an artist with the capacity to electrify critics and readers alike. He is blessed with a bombastic imagination, an irresistible comic sensibility, and a felicity with language that has earned comparisons to such innovators as Jonathan Lethem, William S. Burroughs, James Ellroy, and Oscar Wilde. (Just please don't compare him to Updike, thank you very much.) Now available in the U.S. for the first time

Extractions: Steve Aylett Steve Aylett Steve Aylett was born in Bromley, England, in 1967. He left school at 17 and worked in a book warehouse, and later in trade and law publishing - here he invented the concept of 'fractal litigation', whereby the flapping of a butterfly's wings on one side of the world results in a massive compensation claim on the other. His first book The Crime Studio , published in 1994, was generally regarded as a 'cry for help'. This was followed by Bigot Hall Slaughtermatic The Inflatable Volunteer Toxicology and Atom . He is published by Orion in the UK and Four Walls Eight Windows in the US, and was nominated for the 1998 Philip K Dick Award (Slaughtermatic). His toured 'Shroud' show, during which he silently impersonated the Shroud of Turin, caused rage and impatience in clubland in the early '90s. His stories have appeared in the bestselling Disco Biscuits anthologies (Sceptre). He lives in Brighton, England. Steve Aylett in his own words: It's less insulting to the reader to say something in a few words, like 'Progress accelerates downhill', than to spend an entire book saying that.

Extractions: The Entropy Kid: Steve Aylett Steve Aylett Interviewed by Barry Forshaw Steve Aylett, in just three novels, has cornered the market in hip, mordant and highly individual crime fiction - if it's crime fiction he writes. As Phoenix House publishes his latest, Slaughtermatic , we try to find out what's behind the dark glasses. Is your new book a lampoon of the crime genre? Yeah, Slaughtermatic is a sort of crime satire. When people ask about it who haven't read my other stuff, I save time by calling it a kind of Catch 22 but about crime and law, rather than war. I mean that it's a similar satire of aspects of authority, of manipulations too extreme to process or even talk about in everyday chat. And there's some nice gunplay in there too, and jokes about dogs and so on. The guns are quite unusual. Well I burnt out straight gun fetishism in the course of doing The Crime Studio - that sort of shoot-out just feels like noise now, it doesn't mean anything. So I started to give the guns meanings by inventing software-enhanced guns, fire-by-wires, like the Zero Approach gun which scans the targets aura to see whether they're asking for it, as it were - it seeks their consent. Then there are guns that fire calories, drugs, ideas, charm, guns that ignore the target, guns that can be set for a certain demographic range, guns that can be set for Mexicans, randomizers, glass guns, tantrum guns, all this. So when a shoot-out happens, it means something, it can be like a philosophical exchange. The Crime Bill means people have to design and produce untraceable one-off firearms and that leads to a little bit of inventiveness at least, which is at a premium these days. So you have Hitachis, Mitsubishis, and Macs of course. There are also Microsoft guns, though they take a long time to fire.

Extractions: STEVE AYLETT Steve Aylett wrote the Beerlight books (including Slaughtermatic , shortlisted for the Philip K Dick award). These books were described as 'dystopian' for the couple of years they took to come true. He also wrote various stories collected in Toxicology , such as Gigantic and If Armstrong Was Interesting. Shamanspace portrayed the competing assassination campaigns which would follow a discovery that god really existed. The Accomplice Quartet is more pastoral. Aylett was born in England at the gone-to-seed end of the sixties and regrets the incident. He's published by Orion in UK and Four Walls Eight Windows in US, and also by Codex.
The Velocity Gospel, By Steve Aylett

Extractions: ISBN 0-57507-088-9 See also Only An Alligator (Accomplice Book One) You have to be in the right mood for Steve Ayletts quirky fiction. If youre feeling bright and breezy then something like, say, The Velocity Gospel can seem interestingly different, funny and demanding. If youve got a bit of a hangover or you're just a little tired then the same book can seem pretentious, nonsensical and obstreperously difficult. So, allowing for me having been in the right frame of mind whilst reading The Velocity Gospel , I quite enjoyed it. The further adventures of Barny Juno and friends were almost as entertaining as previously and is it my imagination imposing some order on Ayletts warped world or is there some measure of political satire in here? Talking of his voters and the need to keep them occupied with anything but politics, Mayor Rudloe cynically suggests: Convince them they prosper through witnessing prosperity (page 63). Surely Aylett wouldn't let reality intrude into Accomplice, would he? Anyway, the plot well, Barny is unaware of being once more pursued by an emissary of the demon king Sweeny to be fair he has other things on his mind, like trying to break up with his present girlfriend, Magenta Blaze, for new love Chloe Low.

Extractions: Advertisement document.write(''); Have you noticed how you can never really describe your dreams? The more you concentrate, the harder it is to pin down the details. Little wisps of plot escape the most interesting parts slip away. Is that enough build-up to tell you I'm not sure I can capture Slaughtermatic in a review? In any event, there's your warning. Slaughtermatic is an experiment on paper. Not since John Sladek has a writer had so much fun playing with words. (If Sladek isn't a familiar name to you, you've missed out on one of the best satirist in SF. Rectify that, right away.) Aylett twists definitions and toys with everyday expressions, to add meanings that would never occur to the average, sane person. When his characters speak, nothing that comes out of their mouths

And it just may be the most exciting movement in science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. If you've had the great good fortune to obtain a copy of Gun With Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem and read that masterpiece... well, you know exactly what I mean. If you've been hungering for more of its like since then, your pleas are answered: Atom , by the extremely talented Steve Aylett, is served. Don't get the wrong idea though;
