Remington Platypus

Remington Platypus is many things: badger, detective, Platypus by name, but not by nature.

When a grotesque body turns up in the city, a fusion of multiple species, Frankensteined together into something that should never have existed. He knows he can’t look the other way. Someone is making monsters.

His boss wants him to walk away. The Murder wants him gone. Their syndicate of crows controls half of the city. In the shadows, the Rev, their enigmatic raven leader, watches. Silent. Patient. And far too powerful.

Remington has never been good at playing it safe. But when nothing adds up, and no one is who they seem, who do you trust? In a city of fur, feathers, and fangs, where predators set the rules and prey vanish without a trace, Remington is about to learn that some monsters aren’t born, they’re made.

Dr. Steve Nash is a writer, lecturer, and musician, born in Yorkshire but raised on army barracks across the UK and Europe. A widely and internationally published writer, Steve is a recipient of the Saboteur Award for ‘Best Spoken Word Performer’, and his poetry collection ‘Myth Gatherers’ won the ‘Not the Forward Prize for Poetry’. His most recent poetry publication ‘Nearly Man’ has been described as ‘brave, exhilarating, darkly comic, hilarious, dreamy and dark’.

He teaches at Leeds Beckett University and ‘Remington Platypus’ (Northodox Press) is his debut novel. Rumours persist that Steve may be a vampire and his lack of a working reflection has done little to allay those fears
