The Awful Truth is previously unpublished. In a nutshell it's a story about paranoia and conspiracy theories, prompted by a growing reliance on computers and the notion of what could happen when good things go bad. The original version was written in 2001 or thereabouts, when most of the Western world was in the grip of X Files-mania, so it stands as a prime example of the effects of popular culture on contemporary literature, if you want to be all high-brow about it.
It was originally entitled 'YES DEAR' but the minute I finished it I decided I didn't like it very much after all and left it sitting on various computer hard drives and portable storage devices for the next seven or eight years. I recently decided to dust it off and update it a little, so this is the 2009 version. Just for you. Download PDF (120KB)
