Now in a new digital edition with graphics by Aston Walker, "Necrotrivia vs. Skull" is a cult novel penned by myself (as Jeremy Clarke) and published originally in 1989 by 4th Estate.

The story:
It's late twentieth-century USA, and two marketing moguls have the commercial life of the nation by the throat: Mr Rock of Necrotrivia, a psychotic blue-collar fascist, and SKULL supremo Sandy Silence, born-again Christian and Ivy League smoothie. Between them they are greedily exploiting Mr and Mrs America's insatiable appetite for junk. Meanwhile an extra-terrestrial intelligence operative, lately a convict, has materialised in up-state New York. His knowledge of the ways of men comes entirely from a Dictionary of American Slang and TV transmissions which take ten years to reach his home planet. What will he do down here, at the mercy of junk food and junk culture... and Mr. Rock? A natural at copywriting our non-human anti-hero soon finds himself in the middle of a titanic struggle for product supremacy, the bauble in question being the first narcotic breakfast cereal. Snap, crackle and skin pop?
- Notes to the digital edition -
It has been over twenty years since "Necrotrivia vs.. SKULL" first appeared in print. I started to write it when I was fifteen. Almost fifteen years later I resumed, though I can't now remember why. Having churned out a high pile of badly typed pages encrusted with legacy Tippex I randomly copied a half dozen and sent them to start-up publisher 4th Estate along with a handwritten note to the effect that if they didn't publish my novel it would be their loss. I didn't have the patience to prepare the requested 10,000 word sample. A few weeks later came a polite letter from their fiction editor Giles O'Bryen: Was there more of the book? If so, would I consider completing it for publication? I met with Giles, a tall, well-spoken fellow, and the deal was done. I toiled for weeks on the book then and handed it to Giles, who wisely cut half of it to make of a chaotic sprawl of words one almost intelligible book. The dialogue, all cutup from collected lines from diverse junk media, my travels and elsewhere, was intended to make the whole enterprise more hip and oblique. I like it myself.
Over the years the book has attracted some admirers, notably Aston Walker, a talented animator whose digital images enhance this new edition and who is currently collaborating with me on developing it for the screen. In retrospect it is strange to consider how the book was written on the cusp of a technological revolution that would have fitted well with its development and premise (Aston has caught this well in branding the story’s prime product “digital”) but I like the fact that its absence makes it more timeless and also true to the old school media and pulp writing that informs its style and content, the latter signposted by the book’s dedication to Shell Scott, the key character of numerous outlandish, loveable pulp detective novels by Richard S. Prather, who in his retirement I tracked to New Mexico and had pen a testimonial for "Necrotrivia".
On publication the book sold around four thousand copies. I wrote another novel for 4th Estate, "God Is Love – Get It in Writing" but it was put into hardback first and suffered an ignominious fate in the wrong market. Then I spent three years on a more serious, darker novel, "The Love Gun", which in the midst of a recession was widely rejected. Of that book no manuscript survives.
What readers have said about "Necrotrivia vs. SKULL":
"In my quest for meaning in an absurd world and disaffected society I found my drug of choice to be of the literary kind. And having read a wide range of things from the classics to various manifestos from some brilliant to some not so bright persons, I do say with great confidence and a bit of pie in the sky megalomaniacal madness that Necrotrivia v. Skull is a superbly creative, double-plus funny, and a highly original masterpiece of prose. It should be read by everyone with at least a room temperature IQ as well as the most highly educated. Anyway, in a world consumed with economical verbiage, it is sometimes quite appropriate to buy a book. I highly recommend this great masterpiece by Jeremy Clarke! It will knock your socks off!"
"It’s not often that a great story, well written comes along which makes me laugh and laugh. I want more, who is this man Clarke and why is he not a best seller and where can I get more of his books from. Find it, read it and share it."
"This is basically a tragedy. A tragedy that this book is now out of print, a tragedy that I can't find any other books by this author ANYWHERE, a tragedy that my review is number 1 and not number 111, and a tragedy that the only reason I ever read it was by finding it for about 50p ($1) in a Bargain Book Store. It's also a tragedy that the only reason you'll probably even be reading this review is if you were looking for something else. But enough of that - I would just like to say that this book is a piece of biting satire on a par with 'Catch-22' and says more about the consumerist, mass-marketing 80's and 90's than 'American Psycho'. We see society through the eyes of a first time visitor (an alien) who's entire speech is formed from the sound-bites and advertising slogans that we are bombarded with day-in, day-out. What at first sounds like complete gibberish turns out to be incredibly apt and completely relevant in most of the bizarre situations that he finds himself, from joining the Marketing Company from hell, to promoting an addictive breakfast cereal, with a few dead bodies in between, all the time filling himself with an incredible array of junk food and e-numbers to keep his strength up. This is a hilarious (like all the best satire), thought-provoking and extremely well-written book that even has the confidence to parody itself towards the end, and the fact that it isn't currently a blockbuster film starring John Cusack, Christopher Walken, Harry Dean Stanton and Steve Buscemi is, you've guessed it, a tragedy…"
Trivia: I randomly came upon a Myspace profile recently named after the book. It turned out the proflier's Mom likes it.

Div Joyvision by "Datawhore" and michael dent.
Datawhore is a sound poet based in the UK and creating solo or collaborating with a number of other artists. The alter ego of cult musician Jeremy Gluck of The Barracudas, Datawhore's sounds cover a wide spectrum, from the outrightly ironic and satirical to the very serious and intense.
After a considerable layoff for other creative pursuits, Datawhore initiated a collaboration with fellow Canadian michael dent, himself formerly of first wave Toronto punk band The Dents, which have now been compiled onto an iTunes album entitled “Div Joyvision”, selections from which have been remixed featuring luminaries such as Mick Harvey of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds.
Michael Dent takes up the story behind “Div Joyvision”:
"I kept seeing the name Jeremy Gluck on a lot of my friends’ Facebook friends sections - and again in a message thread - and I asked Ralph Alfonso who he was - the name seemed familiar - Ralph told me to Google him- I replied- just tell me, Ralph - it was like asking my Mom the meaning of a word- and look it up in the dictionary - the next reply was from Jeremy - he was on the mass thread - he told me he used to be in The Barracudas - I know Nick Turner - he was the drummer- and went on to The Lords of the New Church - we added each other to our Facebook and MySpace - Jeremy’s alter ego is Datawhore - an electronic Eno-esque style sound - he's a 'sound poet'- I never got that till later on.
"Jeremy heard some of my tracks on MySpace - and the suggestion was made to do some Datawhore tracks - with my words and voice - I sent Jeremy three CD’s of me reading my stuff - soon we had a track - and it just took off from there - we met online - worked online - and the album sells online - the new way - after the first track was done - it became apparent the term sound poet - it all made sense - what he did to my words with his sound - was impressive - considering we had never met - but he so captured the 'feeling' I was trying to get with my words - some extremely so - i.e. Olivier - I’m very proud of the album - and of course Jeremy’s work and production - I also found out - in the course of our chats online - that he wrote “Burning Skulls Rise” which Lydia lunch recorded on her “Shotgun Wedding” album - the first one - and Jeremy also worked with Epic Soundtracks and Rowland S. Howard so I knew I was in very good company - and that's about it - and quite possibly there will be further collaboration with a further album - I certainly hope so."
