BABEL

by Arthur Chappell

This story, in the spirit of John Wyndham, is about ordinary people trying to maintain their routine day to day existence under apocalyptic conditions. When a computer like virus affects human minds, causing amnesia attacks, terrifying hallucinations, and a very swift form of AlzheimerÕs disease, George Forester tries to get home from work, but will he even make it to the right house, ever? Arthur Chappell.

About the author

I am a Preston based Manchester, England born author of science fiction, poetry, erotica, horror, non-fiction, and much more. Educated to degree level in the Humanities, I am an ex-member of an extremist religious cult, who helps warn people of the dangers such organizations present. I have been involved with historic re-enactment societies, and I am an award winning performance poet, dramatist and until my recent relocation, a community radio presenter. My first radio podcast play, as author, director and actor, Wendigo Water, was broadcast 2015. I write on a number of websites, and blogs and often get to talk on my life experiences in the media. I present talks on subjects ranging from pub sign histories, to cults, burlesque and the definition/nature of comedy.

In August 2020 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer which was treated through two dangerous operations in December 2020, and I am still getting my act back together after 8 weeks in hospital. Books, beer and friends have helped keep me sane.
