Hello, my name is Brian Sexton. I’ve just published the narration of a novel called ‘The Turd Prophecy (of Hybobolus Clune)'. It’s a science fiction adventure set in the Irish rave scene of the 1990’s between County Sligo, and outer space. The novel is a mix of comedy, sci-fi and philosophy. A few readers have described it as a West of Ireland style ‘Hitchikers Guide’, which might be a usefull point of reference for the action. If you’re not a fan of science fiction, don’t look away -I’ve kept the jokes coming thick and fast, and they will carry you into space! If you ever want to catch some live storytelling you can find me at any of the open mic stand up comedy or storytelling nights in northwest Ireland -I promise ya won't get bored. I’m a big fan of science fiction, and my stories introduce plenty of concepts that should be familiar to fans of the genre (extraterrestrial civilizations and societies, interstellar conflict, futuristic technologies, and mysterious interdimensional forces). The 'Turd Prophecy' story also contains references to 90s pop culture, which might bring on a bit of nostalgia for some more seasoned listeners. On the face of it the story is a straightforward comedy action adventure, but I’ve also tried to explore some of what it means to be human. For example, the protagonists are in a dramatic existential situation and it’s never certain whether it is petty rivalries or heroism that motivates them. I’ll leave that one to you though -my job is just to tell the story. I started writing in 2020 (just before the pandemic). The writing was the result of a gift from my wife of a place on the Gerard Beirne writing course. I was very lucky in that I really enjoyed his style of teaching, and signed up for four more terms. This was the most important thing I did to develop a writing practice. Anyway, enough of that -you're here for a story ...enjoy.
