«The Brightonomicon» is the humorous fantasy novel by Robert Rankin, published by Orion Books Limited in paperback (416 pages, in English).
Hidden in the streets of Brighton are twelve ancient constellations, such as the Hound of Hangleton and the Bat of Bevendean, and each guards a mystery so strange that only the veteran narrator Hugo Rune can solve it. If he does not unravel the twelve clues before the year ends, the world as it is known will come to an end.
Eighth installment of Robert Rankin's Brentford series, published in 2006. The commercial subtitle 'Brentford Trilogy' is retained in this edition even though the series exceeds the original trilogy.
For readers of comic fantasy with British humor, interested in character series and a parodic portrait of Brighton.
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.
