Bill Thunder is your average disaffected, world-weary misanthropic PI. He's been there, done that, seen it all and got it remembered in the minutest, most obsessive detail. But this is a case that sees him tested to his limits. There's nothing unusual about a missing man... but things are a little more complicated when the missing person happens to share a name with the world's most famous recently-deceased celebrity. While on the hunt for Michael Jackson – a wealthy businessman – Thunder risks life and limb as he trawls the violent underworld of shady dealings and Internet pornography. 'The Bastardizer' is a truly unique novel. Combining ultraviolence more brutal than 'A Clockwork Orange' with the surgical detail of 'Grey’s Anatomy,' the misanthropic narrative of 'The Bastardizer' ploughs a new groove against the well-worn furrows of genre fiction. Packed with fast-paced action and sharp dialogue, it's dark, abrasive and comical, often all at the same time. Are you ready for the roll of Thunder?

Ben is struggling to find his way in postmodern society; lost in a blizzard of information, his very identity is fading. As he struggles to find his way THE PLAGIARIST – a mysterious, soluble character, half-real, half-imaginary, ever constant but never the same – acts as a guide who shows Ben to the edge of the precipice. But can he be trusted? This curious anti-novel may have all the answers... A riot of experimentation, THE PLAGIARIST is an example of contemporary theory in practice, melding Bloom’s theories on influence to a series of unreliable or schizophrenic narrators against a backdrop created by Frederic Jameson. With a narrative fabricated from the effluvia of the now, which continues the work started by Burroughs and developed by contemporaries like Kenji Siratori, this book demonstrates how postmodern society can cause the individual to lose themselves and the plot.
THE PLAGIARIST is quite possibly the most extreme anti-novel in print... a very rewarding novel. Sometimes it is distinctly uncomfortable and unpleasant to read... But it is a book that could change your approach to reading, and a book that should make you more aware of the world around you, and hopefully less tolerant and accepting of the hell imposed on us all. – Pablo Vision

...you might expect something surreal and confusing, but THE PLAGIARIST goes far beyond the normal levels of weird. – Neon Magazine

...like the work of William Burroughs on steroids. - Richard Mandrachio, Bookpleasures.com

...truly like no book that I have read before... "The Plagiarist" by Christopher Nosnibor would be an excellent novel for a modern fiction class or a reader’s group. - Paige Lovitt, Reader Views

'Postmodern Fragments: Writings on Work, Technology and Contemporary Living' is a collection of essays and short works of fiction, all of which share the common themes of life in the (post)modern society. From the cut-and-paste repetitions of 'The Worker' to the thought-provoking social excavations of 'At Home He's a Tourist: Reconsidering the Postmodern Condition,' this captures Nosnibor at his best and is an essential read for anyone with an interest in contemporary fiction and culture. Some of the pieces contained herein have surfaced in various locations on the Internet, ranging from Christopher's blogs to underground e-zines: others are available for the first time here.

'Clearly Nothing New' is a collaboration with collage artist and photographer Stuart Bateman, and combines text and image in a postmodern multimedia extravaganza. This example of Concentrated Narrative Narcotization is a practical examination of the battle of Style vs. Content - a nice piece for any coffee table.

.

A world in which a mutant hermit surveys the world as it passes outside... brothels full of teenage girls... noisy neighbours, a clash between nu-metal and industrial noise... ultraviolence... smoky bar-rooms, dodgy misanthropic private detectives in a cultural time-warp... bad beer, bad parties and lives devoured by the pace of postmodern society. These are the scenes of 'Bad Houses,' drawn not from some strange parallel universe, but the darker side of real-life, the world we all live in.

'Bad Houses' has been classified 'for everyone.' That isn't to say the contents are literally 'for everyone.' Some may find aspects of the text unpalatable. But that's the whole point. 'Bad Houses' is for those who are willing to be challenged. It may be unsuitable for younger readers, but then, it's unlikely younger readers - or, indeed, those of a weaker literary disposition - are going to be particularly interested. Should they be? Perhaps: education is important. The truth is painful and uncomfortable. It's time everyone saw what was on their plate and on the end of that long newspaper spoon. Forthcoming works will continue to explore and expand on this territory.
