Robert Rankin writes comic fantasy and science fiction built around pubs, conspiracies, unlikely heroes and plots that become increasingly absurd. The Brentford Trilogy, which expanded far beyond three books, begins with The Antipope and follows regulars around a west London pub as they encounter supernatural threats, secret societies and improbable inventions. Armageddon: The Musical moves into apocalyptic science fiction, while other novels use time travel, detective parody and occult nonsense. Rankin’s prose is joke-heavy, digressive and full of recurring gags, invented terminology and deliberate narrative excess. His work suits readers of British comic fantasy, absurdist science fiction, pub humour and authors such as Douglas Adams or Tom Holt. Read more Less
