Deus Ex Insomnia

A Collection Of Poetry & Prose

By Mark Cantrell

THE doctors didn’t believe me; they only believe in their pharmacopoeia -- a lot of addicts do -- but I made them believe in the end. I had to. The others left me no choice.

Too many sleepless nights had ripped a gash in perception. Out there on the far side, through the fog of delirium, I sensed the presence. I wasn't alone. I saw them hinted and outlined by the weak light that leaked from the waking world: sculptures of silhouette utter dark against the shadows of endless time.

I knew; they'd been waiting, they'd been calling. Now they had me, and they forced me to sit and write. This is what they told me to say...


Walk into the shadows of a sleepless night, of a mind teetering towards the abyss of deprivation, when revelation intrudes through the event horizon that separates the lightness of being from the depths of hidden meaning. Out there, in the beyond it's not all morbid raptures, there is laughter too, hidden in the drug of words.


Deus Ex Insomnia is the début poetry collection by journalist and novelist Mark Cantrell. The perfect bound paper back edition pulls together 80 examples of his writing, with the added sweetener of prosaic essays pondering the mysteries of the written word. He has a reputation for darkness in his writings, so taste his night-life for yourself -- and discover it's not all shadows in Mark's world. There's time for fun and humour too.

Buy the book from Lulu, Amazon, or order it through good bookshops.

Citizen Zero

From New UK Publisher Writers of Worlds

Citizen Zero

The future is happening now; an Orwellian fantasy of political satire and social dissent. The Boys From The Black Stuff take a jaunt through the Matrix in this double-take shocker that peers beyond the era of globalisation and the war on terror to witness the horrifying end-game we might yet live to see.

BLURB: SINCE the early decades of the 21st Century, when society was scarred by the traumas of globalisation and a protracted war on terror, Britain has become a peaceful and prosperous consumer society.

Historians are already talking of a Golden Age, but under the security-driven authoritarian regime of Alexander Carlisle – Britain’s longest serving PM – they know not to say anything else.

But this Golden Age masks a rotten core – and it is about to come crashing down. MORE.


Silas Morlock

Coming Soon From Writers of Worlds

A Novel By Mark Cantrell

Imagine a world without war, without poverty, without hunger; a world where human desires can be fulfilled. Sounds like utopia. Impossible, you say. But it exists. So, leave your troubles behind; join us in Terapolis and be at peace. Be completed...

An urban gothic fantasy for the 21st Century and beyond. Live the terror in this fateful account of the lurking menace at the core of humanity’s deepest and most cherished desire. Fahrenheit 451 meets Nosferatu in a chimerical amalgam foretelling a bitter struggle for redemption and salvation.

BLURB: TERAPOLIS is an urban sprawl of global proportions; its flesh and bone towers breach even the oceans' restless barriers and forever shield humanity from the light of day. The city has subsumed the great conurbations of history, absorbed whole nations, embalmed entire continents...

Here, in the neon-lit avenues and shaded alleys, the populace pursues the endless and morbid pursuit of fleshly pleasures: anything that drowns the spark of Selfhood until it can be released into the mysterious and much-craved Gestalt-state.

The chimerical technology is the gift of Silas Morlock, the enigmatic and reclusive head of MorTek. Now, as Morlock contemplates the completion of his life's work, he is disturbed to learn of the return of an ancient scourge. MORE.

Both novels are coming soon from new UK publisher Writers of Worlds, planning to launch in due course. So watch this space for further information...
