Summary

Danny: The portrait of a surreal killer. Each one of us has an invisible space alien perched upon our shoulders controlling our thoughts. This is not a good thing!

Danny used to be a sad and lonely man, but now he is happy. Because now Danny has a dog of his very own. A nice big dog with a waggy tail and a smiley face. The dog’s name is Demolition but only Danny can see him.

Men from The Ministry of Serendipity are monitoring Danny’s every move. They have a special agent on the case, his name is Parton Vrane and he is half man and half cockroach.

Described as a nightmare journey to Hell and back, with only a brief stop off at a KFC for a quick bucket of grub and a visit to the toilet, A Dog Called Demolition is a genuine horror story. Where Silence of the Lambs and Seven merely dipped their toes in terror’s icy waters, Robert Rankin boldly takes off his lurex sock and really puts his foot in it.

mostly confusingly entertaining

It sure is an entertaining story but hard to follow sometimes and the ending is unsatisfying.

Top Rankin!

Another farcical Rankin comedy meander of a story, old gags, new gags - some as big as your head. Loved it.

Enjoyable but glad it was free

I got this while it was included free with my Audible membership. I have read some Robert Rankin so knew what to expect in terms of odd story and quite enjoyed this one but glad i hadnt used a credit on it. The narration fitted well and suited the story.

brilliant book

I read this book when it first came out years ago and loved it then. the book is narrated by Robert himself which makes it very special as he narrated it perfectly.
