Synopsis

The narrator of this brilliantly original first novel was made on 3 November 2022 in an industrial estate on the outskirts of Chelmsford. After the three weeks of his childhood he's sent to work in the ShopALot store in St Pancras, next door to the most famous little church in the world. He's a supermarket trolley, and he believes in God. It's in the church that he meets Edgar Malroy, founder of Scepticism Inc. owner of the Metaphysical Betting Shop, soon to be the richest man in the world. Edgar takes bets on metaphysical propositions. He never loses. But Edgar has a flaw- he's in love with Sophia Alderson, who in addition to being ridiculously beautiful, thinks she's a messenger from God. A sublime satire on the lunacies of organised religion, a heartbreaking story of a doomed love, a novel boiling over with inventiveness and crazy humour, SCEPTICISM INC is a blast of fresh air and the debut of a prodigiously gifted writer.
