Publisher's Summary

Author, bookseller, spy-breaker, killer. Enter the world of Russell Stickles. Not since George Harvey Bone in Hangover Square has there ever been a singular protagonist as compelling. As sickly. As sick. From the creator of Dead Funny: Horror Stories by Comedians comes a stunning novel that re-invents the tale of the empty man.       

“A tale that is as brutal and chilling as it is elegantly told. Mains is at the top of his game and in Russell Stickles has created a unique and compellingly deviant protagonist.” (Lucie McKnight Hardy, author of Dead Relatives and Water Shall Refuse Them)       

"Johnny Mains takes us into disturbed minds–long after you’ve finished reading them, you can still hear them–he is a truly underrated writer who will haunt you.” (Robin Ince, author of Bibliomaniac)       

"Mains’ writing in A Man at War is like a bullet to the brain, a shock to the system. It’s not just that he is a master of narrative tension and pace–which he is–but he is constantly surprising you, making you wonder what the hell is going to happen next.” (Reggie Oliver, author of A Maze for the Minotaur, and Other Strange Stories)
