Dead Writers in Rehab

A dark literary comedy, with shades of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest , where the patients in the asylum are all famous authors from history, including Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker and Wilkie Collins

The only thing worse than
waking up with the hangover from hell
is waking up with a hangover in hell

When literary reprobate Foster James wakes up in a strange country house, he assumes he’s been consigned to rehab (yet again). But when he gets punched in the face by Ernest Hemingway, he realises there’s something different about this place.
Is Foster dead? Has his less-than-saintly existence finally caught up with him? After a hostile group therapy session with Hunter S. Thompson, William Burroughs and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it seems likely. But he still feels alive, especially after he gets laid by Dorothy Parker.
When he discovers that the two enigmatic doctors who run the institution are being torn apart by a thwarted love affair, he and the other writers must work together to save something bigger than their own gigantic egos.
Set in a place that’s part Priory, part Purgatory, Dead Writers in Rehab is a darkly funny tale about the strange and terrible entanglement of creativity and addiction, told by a charming, selfish bastard.
