Description

I Am Still The Greatest Says Johnny Angelo - Despite persistent rumours of his death fifteen years ago, Johnny Angelo's legend continues.

Johnny Angelo is a rock singer, and this is his story from the beginning.

As a child he is a dreamer and a solitary, a thief, a killer of birds and cats.

As a man he is a god to his fans, an emperor to his cronies, a hoodlum to his enemies.

Girls lie at his feet. He becomes rich. He commits murder. At the end, police shoot him down in the street. In a cool and highly original style Nik Cohn has written a bizarre fable for our time, capturing its sickness and horror yet staying true to its grandeur and allure. King Death - Eddie is a strange man with an extraordinary talent that makes him the 'performer' he is.

Eddie administers Death. His subjects, he explains, are not afraid, but are thrilled and transported.

To Eddie, Death is completion, and he finds fulfilment, satisfaction, and pride in each job he carries out. When Seaton Carew, America's most successful TV entrepreneur, chances to witness Eddie in action, Eddie's career is altered.

Overcoming many obstacles, he and Seaton literally ride to glory on the Deliverance Special, a train carrying King Death and his huge entourage all over America.

But then a disturbing change comes over Eddie and threatens to topple him from his grisly throne... King Death is part nightmare, part modern fairytale and wholly original.
