About the author
Garth Jones
7 books8 followersGarth is a writer from Wilyakali country in the deserts of far western New South Wales, Australia – the Mad Max zone.
His first job was designing ads for phone sex lines; he did time as resident Atheist provocateur at a church newspaper, and drew comics for DAVID LEE ROTH just out of uni.
Garth’s first novel, HOME BREWED, VAMPIRE BULLETS, was shortlisted for a variety of prizes. Walkley award winning journalist Richard Cooke reckons “there’s nothing like Home Brewed... – it’s new, weird, and out there, and that makes it too good not to get into!”
Garth's next project, BLACK PILLS, is a collection of genre-bending short fiction exploring the shit show that is our present reality.
It features the Ronald Hugh Morrieson Literary Award winning ‘Hugo Garrett’s Exemplary Mowing Technique’.
PASS THE AMYL, Garth’s Ozploitation segment, appears regularly on comedian Justin Hamilton’s podcast BIG SQUID.
He currently lives on the west coast of Aotearoa with his partner, their kid and a dog named Zodiac Mindwarp.

It all comes together in Volume 3, if by coming together you mean in the orgy sense, if by orgy you mean a clusterfuck of some of the most hilarious, sarcastic allusions ever committed to literature. This reads and walks like an ozploitation odyssey, but that’s just the vehicle. Garth Jones hates Australia, not the Australia that could be, but the apathetic version, the sheep station Australia. As he says in his epilogue after the chaos of the ending, “Home Brewed is in fact a long-form coping mechanism, an outlet to channel all that seating psychic angst into…the Fuck-You-Ni-Verse.” Its cathartic reading rooted in the method of recoil, grimace and laugh. He takes you places you don't want to go, knowing you'll enjoy the ride. Call it kidnapping if you must.

More brilliance, more unique LOUD brilliance from Garth Jones in volume three. This one felt like I was in a rattling old mini, with no seat belts, that was being driven by some terrifying cyborg version of David Lee Roth. Exhilarating? Yes. Also scary? Yes. Banging soundtrack? Hell yes. This is the kind of writing I could never come close to doing, it pushed my brain in all kinds of directions and I really enjoyed the ride.
