Peter Darbyshire

Describes various situations in which it is appropriate to say, "Please."

In these astonishing tales, Has the World Ended Yet? mashes up scheming ghosts, undead marketers, travelling deity salesmen, deadly supermodels, a troubled hit man and his sex doll partner, a truly Cold War, fallen heroes, old gods and avenging angels in a Twilight Zone-—style collection that is as absurd as the real world yet profoundly human. We follow characters that are larger than life with tragic flaws that would put the Greek myths to shame, as they move through broken, corrupted versions of our reality. Is it Armageddon? Is it something else? The end of the world is not what we expect, what any of Darbyshire’s characters expect, and it may not really be happening at all. But should it?
