Neverland: The Unreal Michael Jackson Story

Praise for Simon Crump:

"Deliciously obscene and blackly comic... Quentin Tarantino on acid in Graceland. Extraordinary." — The Sunday Times

"Like an episode of South Park, where just as you get into the story something goes splat, Crump's contorted imagination is alarmingly enjoyable." — Guardian

"Superb." — FHM

"There's a lot more to the book than you might think; an undercurrent of despair and depression that leads to an unexpected and thoroughly moving conclusion."The Independent

"Simon Crump is a vicious and endearing fellow."Todd McEwen

"Crump has a uniquely honest and unflinching vision and he has the talent to tear off the veneer and revel in the insalubrious reality beneath without being gratuitous or heartless. If you have a dark side, Simon Crump will let you see it — but beware, you might not like what you find." — Time Out

"Wickedly funny."Uncut

"Crump is in total control of his material. His writing is plain, the humor a faded black, the dusting of pathos unobtrusive."Zembla

Neverland is Simon Crump’s most daring collection yet — surreal, outrageous, and laugh-out-loud funny. Four years in the making (and delivered just hours before Michael Jackson’s death), this is a superb piece of writing that transposes the King of Pop into a world of $2,000,000 unicorns bought on eBay, giant whelks, rampaging bodyguards, violence, wonder, mystery, and golf.

Outrageous and hilarious, Neverland is nevertheless more than just satire: it is a profound — and profoundly entertaining — fictional exploration of celebrity.
