Books by Eleanor Berry

This fictional tale best described as Edgar Allan Poe meets Roald Dahl, follows the bungling escapades of would-be gangster Eddy Vernon. Prepare to squirm in horror and shake with laughter as the inimitable black comedy for which Eleanor Berry is renowned, unfolds.

A mother and her three sons are professional gangsters carrying out contract killings. Eddy is the youngest, and unfortunately is indescribably stupid, creating havoc in London's East End. Eddy flees to Dublin where he tries his luck in the funeral business.

"Sounds a grim tale, but it's a right barrel of cockney laughs from start to finish" said a cheerful old cockney with a monkey on his shoulder.
