The bestselling cult comedy from Mil Millington published alongside his new novel, Love and Other Near Death Experiences

Rob Garland is getting married in two months. Oddly, however, this is the least of his problems. More vexing than the seating arrangements, the choice of wedding stationery - more even that the savagely obscene expense of everything - is the fact that Rob should be dead: and he knows it. Faced with an ultimatum from his girlfriend to either sort himself out, or call the wedding (and the whole relationship) off, he sets about trying to come to terms with how it is that, somehow, he's still inexplicably breathing. After pouring his heart out to the listeners on his late-night radio jazz show, he soon finds himself teamed up with others who really ought not to be alive, but who - for random, meaningless and, frankly, stupid reasons - unaccountably are. And that's when things become yet more worrying: because it turns out that their search to understand why they've each remained oddly alive might very well end up killing them all. Love, death, religious beliefs, existential angst - Love and Other Near-Death Experiences is a jack-knifing comedy about those things which should be no laughing matter.

When cash-strapped writer Tom Cartwright is offered the highly lucrative task of ghosting the autobiography of a glamorous young soap star, he and his girlfriend Sara are thrilled. Sara is a great fan of Georgina Nye's, and Tom will finally be able to afford some new carpets for their flat. But things soon go awry when Tom finds himself drawn to Georgina by forces outside his control (even though they are inside his own body). Does his five-year relationship with Sara stand a chance in the face of this explosion of chemistry? Are he and Georgina bound by emotional attraction? Or is it simply vasopressin being released by his pituitary gland? And is this love? Or just the hormone oxytocin? Most importantly of all - is there a difference?
