Tom above Brombil Reservoir, 2022

Tom East’s latest full-length publication, in August 2024 was THE ANSWER IS AN EGG SANDWICH. What lies BEHIND THE CURTAIN? AND THE BOYS CAME, TOO? Why? Is there really an ISLAND OUT OF TIME? Most of all, why should the answer be an egg sandwich?

The books still available include the controversial novel THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO St JUDAS, the unsparing non-fiction of LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE, about recovery from two brain haemorrhages, and the three volumes in the Eldritch Collections

Earlier, Tom was the writer of many works of fiction, commercial features, essays, reviews, 'other prose' and poetry. He was the author of six (print) books.
