Hit had been happy as an eight year old. He didn't want to grow up. He was just happy to fall off the edge of the world and get up again. But then his mother goes missing, and all of a sudden he has to be an adult.

The Bad Book documents a pivotal two days in Hit's bizarre life, an odd mix of his own fantasy, his father's seedy reality and a confused dark place somewhere in between. This striking debut novel is a unique exploration of memory and shock, showing how memories can dull the pain... for short periods of time.

Stephen Jones is the musical blacksheep Babybird. With eight albums released in five years, one Top Ten gold album, a Top Three half-million-selling single, and seven other Top Forty singles, Stephen continues to mystify and sell music across the world. The Bad Book is Stephen's first novel, and has nothing to do with music whatsoever.
