Brazen Bloke is a spoilt little boy who's brought up in a good family. Aged 16 he takes up with the wrong crowd and develops an appetite for drugs. The small-time villain leads a wild life in the rave scene for years on end, breaking the law at will, fearing neither the filth nor a screwed up future. Aged 29 he pops Xanax for the 1st time, an extremely addictive sedative. He manages for several years not to become addicted to downers, but cos panic attacks and other headaches strike, he takes 'em more and more. Eventually, he becomes physically dependent on Xanax. He tries to quit the drug in the loony bin, but laughing academies only drive him insane. Grappling with suicidal thoughts he must ask himself, 'Will I live to tell the tale?' A World of Marvels is the heart-wrenching true story of a hedonistic bloke, a journey through madness and half a life gone wrong. Laced with irony, sarcasm and gallows humour, this is a memoir that inspires laughter, shock and much, much more.
