Evil Goods book cover

Evil Goods: A comic fantasy adventure, a set of puzzles, some sharp observations, arcane references and a lot of fun.

Transporting the reader to an alternate London where things are very different in so many ways, and yet facing the familiar problems of overpriced coffee, restaurants and imminent annihilation from daemonic ill-will, Evil Goods is the gateway to a new world – for as long as it can last.

Lucia paused, screwed up her face for a second, then simply said, ‘I don’t know. Does a war really have to “be” about something?’

‘It is sort of a convention, I believe, so you can keep score, if nothing else.’ Richard pondered his own words. ‘I mean, how can you tell if you’ve won?’

Evil Goods is available as a paperback, ebook and audiobook.

What are readers saying?

  • This book combines some of my favourite things: fantasy, comedy and puzzles! It is a fun-filled romp from start to finish.

    Lucy Porter, Comedian, Presenter and Panellist on BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz

  • This was a fun read. I found it similar to Douglas Adams' writing style, with its humor and satire. I love this type of writing so I had no trouble immersing myself into the story. Richard, our main character, reminded me a lot of Arthur Dent from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, although he doesn't share Arthur's affinity for tea. The story also shares the same nonsensical, absurd elements that crop up in Adams' work, and is certainly one of the aspects that kept me hooked.

About the Author

Marcus Bone

​Marcus Bone was the first Western person to explore the forgotten city of Swindon, using only a sextant to navigate his boat up the treacherous M4, which he later traced to its source. He was born at a young age in a cardboard box on the outskirts of High Wycombe and was made Professor of Pointless Studies at the age of ten. He now divides his time between writing and shark hunting in Richmond Park. Then again, all of this might be completely made up.
