My book

The Chewy Cerebrum and Other Stories

Last year, I co-wrote a book with my best friend and sexually ambiguous writing partner, Joseph O’Brien. It contains a selection of short stories, plays and skits, all with a bit of a bizarre twist.

Buy it here from Amazon UK (£9.98), or here from Amazon US (for $21.50). It’s also in a variety of online booksellers.

If you want, because there was never a chance of us making any decent profit on this book, it’s all on Google Books now. Click the link below if you fancy a look.

Read it

If you want to stay on the site, there’s also a few isolated sections lifted from the book over on my Writing page. Anything that was written (or at least co-written) by me, is there.

Item description:

The Chewy Cerebrum and Other Stories is the first collaborative compilation by Christopher Fraser and Joseph O’Brien, with a series of specially-drawn illustrations from Gemma Smith and Greg Curzon.

Included: a children’s story about a tyrannical queen obsessed with homemade preserves, an American depressive with recurring hallucinations of a talking cat, the story of one man’s fall into a cannibalistic cult, a Matrix-style computer used to provide wet dreams for its creators, a lunatic wandering the deserts of Mali, a dystopian sci-fi comedy-drama about a group of dysfunctional time-travelling freaks, an unspeakable death aboard a train, a short comic about alternative headache cures, a murderous alien set free on an unknown coastline, an angry letter to the BBC exposing what you’ll wish you never knew about children’s TV, and the end of the world, all generously peppered with freakish drawings that would take a degree in advanced psychology to make sense of.
