Mark M. Smith

    1. Januar 1968

    Dieser australische Autor, der an der Westküste Victorias lebt, hat Anerkennung für seine gefeierte Jugendbuchtrilogie gefunden, die die raue Schönheit der australischen Wildnis erforscht. Sein Stil, beeinflusst von seiner Umgebung, zeichnet sich durch rohe Ehrlichkeit und ein tiefes Verständnis für Charaktere aus, die sich mit Herausforderungen des Überlebens und der Identität auseinandersetzen. Die Prosa des Autors wird oft als fesselnd und atmosphärisch beschrieben und zieht die Leser in packende Erzählungen über Widerstandsfähigkeit und Erwachsenwerden hinein. Neben seinen Romanen ist er auch ein anerkannter Autor von Kurzgeschichten, der seine Vielseitigkeit durch prägnante, aber wirkungsvolle Werke unter Beweis stellt.

      The first ever publication of Mark E. Smith's supernatural film treatment, co-authored with Graham Duff. In 2015 Mark E. Smith of The Fall and screenwriter Graham Duff co-wrote the script for a horror feature film called The Otherwise. The story involved The Fall recording an EP in an isolated recording studio on Pendle Hill. The Lancashire landscape is not only at the mercy of a satanic biker gang, it's also haunted by a gaggle of soldiers who have slipped through time from the Jacobite Rebellion. However, every film production company who saw the script said it was 'too weird' to ever be made. The Otherwise is weird. Yet it's also witty, shocking and genuinely scary. Now the screenplay is published for the first time, alongside photographs, drawings and handwritten notes. The volume also contains previously unpublished transcripts of conversations between Smith and Duff, where they discuss creativity, dreams, musical loves (from Can to acid house) and favourite films (from Britannia Hospital to White Heat). Smith also talks candidly about his youth and mortality, in exchanges that are both touching and extremely funny.
