The Official Anthony Bunko

Anthony Bunko is the author of four hilariously funny fiction novels; 'The Tale of the Shagging Monkeys' (2003), 'The Siege of El Rancho' (2004), 'The Belt of Kings' (2005) and his latest book 'BOY, GIRL, FRUITCAKE, FLOWER' .

The books have all received critical acclaim (4 star ratings) with the National Press. At present, he's just started his fifth (Working up to the Slaughterhouse). The book is quite different to his four previously successful and cult-followed fictional novels. This one contains 55 visual poems which are really more of a mix of little dark one page stories in rhyme or sharp funny observations about sex, drugs and sausage rolls, which have been locked inside his mind as he traveled along life’s highway. He thought it was about time to set them free. He is working with designer Bernard Canniffe (who lives in Baltimore USA) to create it. Hopefully it will hit the streets in the UK and USA in June or early July.
