Summary
I have developed a detachment from the rest of the human race. I don't fear them. I don't consider myself above them. It's just that I genuinely loathe them. There is no reason. I wasn't abused as a child. There were no traumatic events in adolescence, no heartbreak or rejection in early adulthood. Nothing to account for the person I have become. I shall offer no explanation, no mitigation for what I am. But whatever the reason, I have come adrift from mankind, and that is where I intend to stay.
Welcome to Gary Lennon's world. It isn't a cold dead place. You'll like it there. You'll see things his way and you'll want to stay. But Gary's therapist has other ideas. He thinks Gary should get a job, meet people and interact with the real world. Look out, people. Look out, world.
Critic reviews
"Gary is an anti-hero for our times, Everyman and the Outsider rolled into one, and his zeitgeist will explode off the page and roll down your chin with each mounting episode." John Lake (author, Hot Knife)

Review of "The World Is Not a Cold Dead Place"
The story itself is a beautifully crafted tapestry of life's complexities. It delves into themes of love, loss, and redemption with a sincerity that resonates deeply. The characters are well-developed, each with their own flaws and strengths, making them relatable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates thoughtful, emotionally rich narratives.

Superb novel, beautifully narrated
I must confess I love everything Nathan O Hagan has written, and I 5 starred my review of this book when launched- that being said, the audiobook had a lot to live up to, and did not disappoint. Nathan’s scabrous prose, and Gary’s various predicaments were brought to life in a magnificent performance by the narrator. Gary’s routine, and in the main mundane existence was brought to life perfectly with the always awkward social interactions pitched perfectly. The roller coaster the story takes us on is irresistible, and the supporting cast of characters are also voiced superbly. Wonderfully poignant and a great listen.
