       Copyright

      PAUL BASSETT DAVIES has been writing for thirty years and he still hasn’t finished. He writes for stage, television, radio and film, including the screenplay for the feature animation film The Magic Roundabout, and a film about counter-culture comic book heroes, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, which he has been developing with their creator, comics legend Gilbert Shelton.

      His sitcom, Reception, was broadcast by BBC Radio 4, and wrote and produced for the Sony Award-winning radio show Do Go On. He has published several short stories, and his first novel, Utter Folly, topped the humorous fiction charts in 2012. Dead Writers in Rehab is his second novel.

      Dear Reader,

      The book you are holding came about in a rather different way to most others. It was funded directly by readers through a new website: Unbound. Unbound is the creation of three writers. We started the company because we believed there had to be a better deal for both writers and readers. On the Unbound website, authors share the ideas for the books they want to write directly with readers. If enough of you support the book by pledging for it in advance, we produce a beautifully bound special subscribers’ edition and distribute a regular edition and e-book wherever books are sold, in shops and online.

      This new way of publishing is actually a very old idea (Samuel Johnson funded his dictionary this way). We’re just using the internet to build each writer a network of patrons. Here, at the back of this book, you’ll find the names of all the people who made it happen.

      Publishing in this way means readers are no longer just passive consumers of the books they buy, and authors are free to write the books they really want. They get a much fairer return too – half the profits their books generate, rather than a tiny percentage of the cover price.

      If you’re not yet a subscriber, we hope that you’ll want to join our publishing revolution and have your name listed in one of our books in the future. To get you started, here is a £5 discount on your first pledge. Just visit unbound.com, make your pledge and type rehab in the promo code box when you check out.

      Thank you for your support,

      But that pigeon outside my room at four in the morning? What the fuck is his problem?

      Wait.
