"Douglas Adams on a sugar high"? Kirkus

"A heady mix of Flann O'Brien, Douglas Adams, Tom Sharpe and Ken Campbell, but with an inbuilt irreverence and indelicacy that is unique - and makes it the long-awaited, heavy smoker's answer to The Lord Of The Rings' ? Time Out

NEW REVISED EDITION FOR 2025

There is nothing more powerful than a bad idea whose time has come. And there can be few ideas less bad or more potentially apocalyptic than that hatched by genetic scientist Dr Stephen Malone.

Using DNA strands extracted from the dried blood on the Turin Shroud, Dr Malone is cloning Jesus. And not just a single Jesus, he's cloning six, so that each of the world's major religions can have one for themselves. It has to be the very worst idea of the twentieth century. And what is more, he's doing it in Brentford!

Mind you, the plucky Brentonians do have a lot of other things on their minds at the moment. Such as putting their plans to hold the Millennial celebrations two years early into action. It is something to do with a tradition, or an old charter, or something. John Omally and Jim Pooley are once more in the thick of it. As are Norman the corner-shop keeper, Professor Slocombe, Neville the part time barman and all the stars of books previous.

And they are all going to be drawn into the adventure of a lifetime. Unless, of course, something REALLY BAD was to happen...
First published almost thirty years ago, THE BRENTFORD CHAINSTORE MASSACRE is a classic of Far Fetched Fiction, a genre created by author Robert Rankin in hopes of having his own shelf in bookstores. Now, this fifth novel in the "Brentford Quadrilogy of trilogies" has been reimagined and repackaged for 2024 by Hooded Man Media and Far-Fetched Books.

If you enjoy the works of Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, and Terry Pratchett, then don't miss out on THE BRENTFORD CHAINSTORE MASSACRE and the wild imagination of Robert Rankin, and grab your copy now before the price changes!

"????? Many people describe books as 'laugh out loud funny' and while they are often quite amusing, this book is the only one to have EVER made good on that promise."

"????? I still turn to it when I need a laugh and it never disappoints."
