The Cat of Doom: The Man who let the Cat of Doom out of the Bag - A Surreal Apocalyptic Fantasy With Poetical and Musical Interludes Kindle Edition

by Mark Henderson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
The Man who let the Cat of Doom out of the Bag is Mark P Henderson’s surreal fantasy (with poetical and musical interludes) which introduces the most unlikely cast ever to have been given an apocalyptic quest. England’s East Sussex coast truly does not know what has hit it when they assemble on its shore. The obsessive psychotherapist Herr Dr von Tür, the shaven-headed Glaswegian enforcer Big Vince, the incompetent Cuthbert Fell, the former champion marathon runner, Selina Crumpett and serial killer Gardner-Carpenter, might all turn heads but are only half a story that also has starring roles for Gabriella de Clare (seeking her True Self), Patricia (an Anglican priest), Abdul (Fell’s only friend), Winston, Esmerelda, Yggrasilsdottir (trees), a pack of mangy dogs and a gnome called Smiley. Each fixated on their own focus, they range far and wide causing ripples in the fabric of time itself, even while the Cat of Doom is still firmly entrapped within its bag. But inexorably they stumble closer to an inevitable, ultimately satisfying and epic denouement.

After a career in medicine and university teaching, Mark P. Henderson retired to North Derbyshire in 2002 and started to write fiction, edit manuscripts, teach creative writing, and collect and tell Peak District folktales. His publications, through five different publishing houses, comprise an anthology of short stories (Rope Trick, 2008), a children’s story (Fenella and the Magic Mirror, 2009), a study of the evolution of a local legend (Murders in the Winnats Pass, 2010), a collection of 62 traditional stories (Folktales of the Peak District, 2011), a collection of puns in verse and prose (Cruel and Unusual PunNishments, 2016), a one-act play (Forget it, it’s History, 2017), five novels and a novella (National Cake Day in Ruritania, 2018; The Engklimastat, 2019; Perilaus II, 2021; Con, 2022; Black Harry, 2023; and The Cat of Doom, 2020), and a novelette (The Definitive Biography of St Arborius of Glossopdale and his Thin Dog, 2019). His compilation of folktale films recorded in situ in collaboration with Tim Knebel of “Peak in the Past” and his colleagues (http://www.peakinthepast.co.uk; scroll down to “Folktales”), is available for free download and the set is due for completion in 2023. A second folktale collection, Elusive Tales of the Peak District, was published in September 2023. A collection of medical anecdotes he has edited, Tales from the Medicine Cabinet, was published in April 2024.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Delight

    I love this book. It's intriguing, whimsical, funny and chock full of delightful characters. I keep thinking that's my favourite one and then I turn the page and find another. You've got to marvel at the world that the author has created. The poems are full of surprises, (you don't get to say that every day) and the songs almost tempt me to give them a go. The Cat of Doom will have pride of place on my bookshelf for a long time to come.
