Books by David Seabrook

David Seabrook was born in 1960 and spent most of his life in Kent, where he studied Proust at the University of Canterbury. A marked outsider, he drew inspiration from artists who operated outside prevailing literary fashion, those who persisted when nobody was listening. His writings ranged from tributes to unheralded authors to studies of tabloid crimes; were all committed to longhand, seldom found any publishing outlet, and are now considered lost. At the turn of the century, the longhand pages of All the Devils Are Here came to Granta's attention and the book was published in 2002. In 2009, Seabrook's body was discovered in his Canterbury flat. He had published only one further work, the true crime piece Jack of Jumps.
