Sydney Hideous; an Erotic Ghost Story

"A love story where two artists try to win the love of a very beautiful girl, by putting on exhibitions in order to win her attentions, and the outrageous occult repercussions all round. THIS BOOK IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO EVER BE OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED BY THE ARTS/LITERARY ESTABLISHMENTS, but either way it is a well written romp as well as being also a tough, hard-bitten, critical/social satire on the world of art culture." LA Times

-"This Dickensian little tomb set in the modern era with such great descriptive prose, although as unbelievably silly as it was, it got me chuckling all the way through and then toward the end I was in such uproarious, un- ceremonial, howling laughter I had to walk away from it for just a while, before quickly taking it up again. Very few books pretending to be comedic do this for me yours did Mr.Hoey. Admittedly it can be fairly louche in some of its exploits but it is a treat I must be honest. What a wonderful movie it would be." -The New Yorker.

- "I really enjoyed this, loved the characters as stereotyped as they at times were but in a good way! And the exhibition/party scenes have to be the best depictions of large gatherings of people ever in a novel without question. Superlative book, fabulous storyline, great humour if not a little risqué. I somehow doubt the residents of Sydney town would appreciate this however? I would thoroughly recommend 'hideous' to anyone although only if they liked great stories with really great prose!"- Chaycee Gallagher-Wusch, Harpers Bazaar
