Way Down Below
Short-listed for the 2011 To Hell With Publishing Prize, and featuring a deranged author, an accursed book about a French surrealist, and a city beyond compare, Way Down Below is a short Neo-Gothic novel about death and poetry in Rio de Janeiro, shot through with Lovecraftian horror and in league with the power of love.
"This is a captivating read. Part travelogue, part autobiography and part gothic horror, the ingenious narrative bites hard early and doesn't let go. Whether painting the plight of the impecunious EFL teacher, the delirious underbelly of Rio de Janeiro or in its startling transition into supernatural thriller, everything in this world feels real and insistent, drawn in a supple and inventive style rich with dazzling turns of phrase. A talented poet as well as prolific novelist, Addison is the real deal - he's walked the walk and now talks his talk - check him out now." - Scott Thurston
