Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving

Elfish's friends live hand-to-mouth in a bleak part of London, squatting, seeing local bands, getting high and feeling bitter over lost ambitions. Not so Elfish herself, who pursues her dreams with a determination that verges on the demonic. She rarely eats, never washes and is devoted to Queen Mab - both the Shakespearian fairy and her own thrash metal band, formed with her attractive but dim-witted lover, Mo. But when Mo jilts her, Elfish is determined to stop him and get revenge.

Martin Millar was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but has lived in London, England, for a long time. He has written a lot of things--novels and plays and short stories and articles. His newest novel is Suzy, Led Zeppelin and Me, and it's set in Glasgow. Millar has written six other novels: Love and Peace with Melody Paradise; Milk, Sulphate and Alby Starvation; Lux the Poet; The Good Fairies of New York; Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving and Ruby; and The Stone Age Diet. Millar likes Jane Austen novels, and wrote a stage play of Emma. He even wrote the novelization of the Tank Girl movie. Last, but not least, as Martin Scott, Millar writes the Thraxas series of books. There are five so far, and he won the World Fantasy Award for the first one. When he's not writing, Millar likes to watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer, read history books, especially if they're about ancient Greece, and play the flute.
