«Nostradamus Ate My Hamster» is the science fiction and humor novel by Robert Rankin, published by Transworld Publishers in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Robert, a young aspiring actor, has devised a computer system capable of generating holograms of the great stars of classic cinema to film alongside them. Robert has a script and money, but Hollywood won't listen; his best option seems to be Ernest Fudgepacker, an old ruined director who owns a props warehouse in Brentford.
«Nostradamus Ate My Hamster» was originally published in 1996; the edition described here is from June 1997.
For those seeking fantastic comedy, zany science fiction and nods to classic cinema.
Robert Fleming Rankin is a prolific British author of comedic fantasy novels. Born in Parsons Green, London, he started writing in the late 1970s, and first entered the bestsellers lists with Snuff Fiction in 1999, by which time his previous eighteen books had sold around one million copies. His books are a mix of science fiction, fantasy, the occult, urban legends, running gags, metafiction, steampunk and outrageous characters. According to the biography printed in some Corgi editions of his books, Rankin refers to his style as 'Far Fetched Fiction' in the hope that bookshops will let him have a section to himself. Many of Rankin's books are bestsellers.
