    THE CUNTERBURY TALES

    Are you ready for the most offensive pilgrimage ever?

    Welcome to The Cunterbury Tales.

    Featuring 24 pieces, The Cunterbury Tales follows some of the world’s worst pilgrims on their journey to venerate the withered spleen of Saint Augustine. Combing verse and prose, this book will be enough to make Chaucer rise from the dead and pluck the eyes from his head.

    LIMITED EDITION

    There will only be 69 copies of this limited edition paperback, and each one will be numbered and signed (and no doubt violated with a crude drawing). There will never be any reprints. There will never be any alternative printed versions. This is it: 69 paperbacks printed, 69 paperbacks sold, end of fucking subject.

    The book will be available at the Canterbury Book Con on March 29, 2025. It will be priced at a minimum of £6.00 (US$8.00). Why a minimum? Because you can pay more if you like. I really hope you do, because every single penny of profit goes to the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, which is the charity that funds the oncology centre where Peter Caffrey had his treatment.

    All costs for editing, layout and design are covered. The sole cost which will come out the money raised is for printing.

    WANT A COPY, BUT NOT GOING TO CANTERBURY?

    Not going to be at Canterbury? Don’t know anyone who’ll be attending to grab you a copy? There is another option. A waiting list has been set up for people to purchase any remaining copies. This will be priced as above (you know you’ll want to pay more because you hate cancer), plus P&P.

    If you register using the form below and there are copies left, you will be emailed with an offer. If your circumstances have changed and you don’t wish to buy a copy, simply decline the offer. There’s no cost for going on the waiting list, no obligation to buy, and no need to pay anything.

  • NONCE!

    NONCE!

    nonce (nounslang)
    a person who commits a crime involving sex, especially sex with a child.

    Nestled between the purple haze-infused sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the anarchic chaos of punk rock, something strange happened in the world of rock music. Glam Rock fused high camp theatricals with driven anthems and fist-pumping tunes. Appealing to the young and impressionable, the movement even dragged in many of contemporary music’s more relevant names.

    However, the sins of the period are also well documented, with Gary Glitter and DJ Jimmy Saville being publicly exposed some years later. One name which doesn’t get mentioned as often is Danny Dazzler.

    Dazzler’s flame of fame arguably burned brightest in his own mind, but after a short-lived moment in the spotlight, his fall from grace was so odious the music industry and mass media conspired to starve him of the thing he craved most: publicity.

    Now, for the first time ever, and more than forty years after he first crawled into the public’s psyche, his story will be told.

    Nonce! is a no-holds-barred exposé of Glam Rock’s nastiest specimen.

  • HEE HAW

    HEE HAW

    Hee Haw is a dark, psychological horror, in which nothing is quite what it seems.

    When Colin, a middle-aged fantasist and loner who lives with his parents, snatches a girl he finds in the woods, things quickly start to unravel. While his intention is to act out his most depraved fantasies, something about the girl unnerves him. Who is the mysterious Alice, and why does she make him feel so uneasy?

    As he learns more about her, he finds himself thrust ever deeper into a world of darkness and duplicity. What is real, and why is he, the abuser, feeling so vulnerable?

    “Blending physical and emotional exploitations with a knockout ending is why this book will remain with you for a long, long time.”

    Horror Bookworm Reviews

    “Once again, this is another great read, from the twisted mind of Peter Caffrey. There are many triggers, such as child abduction, violence, profanity, blood, gore, and murder, and I loved it.”

    Leeanne Wright: Goodreads

  • DOG FOOD

    DOG FOOD

    When David Miller returns home from his family holiday, what appears to be a routine security check at the airport very quickly spirals out of control and takes on a darkness he cannot fathom.

    When the bald man gets involved, the mental torture increases, and without any relief from the constantly increasing horrors, David’s grip on reality begins to crumble.

    His only hope is that someone, somewhere, will step in and stop the abhorrent torments bleak miseries he’s being forced to endure. But is he clutching at straws?

    Dog Food is the frightening tale of one man’s descent into the abyss…

    ‘Funny, frightening, surreal and speckled with grossness…’
    Sean Hawker, Author of The Captive Dwarf

  • UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

    UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

    Unfit for Human Consumption is a 12-story collection which serves as a tasting menu for Peter Caffrey’s twisted world. An insight into his Mondo Perverso, many of the stories are new and previously unpublished, while some are from less well-read periodicals or anthologies.

    The tales cover a wide gamut of styles and content, and include the strange and demented, the darkest of dark humour, and a dose of utterly unhinged absurdity!

  • LIKE A TRAMP YELLING AT TRAINS

    LIKE A TRAMP YELLING AT TRAINS

    When I was a boy, there was a tramp who lived in a derelict factory near our house. On the way to school, we’d often see him, standing at the side of the road, staring at the spot where the train tunnel ended and the tracks emerged into the outside world. As the trains thundered from the darkness into the morning light, he’d launch into a tirade of nonsensical babble, shouting curses and abominations.

    I understood him. Not his words, not his shouts and curses, but his purpose. I too shared a need to expunge the detritus which built up in my head. I required a cathartic expulsion of the madness and chaos which festered in my thoughts.

    This collection is just that: a medley of insane and inane shouts and screams, a collage of verbal ticks, a cornucopia of inky doodlings. Some are random ideas which sneak into my brain, others are heart-felt and personal reflections, and a few are just humorous cul-de-sacs. Some are the germs from which stories or novels have grown, but most went no further than the form in which they are replicated in this dosshouse of words.

    A few of you might find something which amuses, and others won’t. Whichever group you fall into, I want to thank you, because you are my train, thundering out from the darkness of the tunnel, and I’m just a random tramp, screaming abuse at you.
