Sundae Driver
Would you sell your soul for an ice cream van?
As Danny struggles to keep his ice cream van on the road he meets Stan, a mysterious stranger, at a crossroads, at midnight. Spitting in his palm Stan shakes on a deal with Danny to fix up Nellie, Danny’s rusty, vintage, ice cream van. And so, Danny’s life improves dramatically, but a few years on he can no longer face the daily routine of endless cheerful customers and excellent profits. Seeking supernatural advice Danny learns there is a solution, but can he fulfil the task to free himself from Stan and break his contract? If you like pagan adventures with thoroughly silly twists, recognisable magickal ideas with unexpected developments, unlikely characters in fast paced set pieces, then you’ll enjoy these occult adventures in modern Britain. Get Sundae Driver today as an introduction to Jack Barrow’s Hidden Masters series.

The Hidden Masters and the Unspeakable Evil
Somebody want to turn Blackpool into a seedy, tacky and depraved town
The Hidden Masters and the Unspeakable Evil is the first in a series of occult comic novels featuring master magicians Nigel, Wayne and Clint. In each adventure they team up with a fourth friend to save the world through arcane knowledge, lots of cheap alcohol and too many joints. In their first adventure our heroes travel to Blackpool, one of England’s decaying northern holiday resorts. They travel north on Friday night but they need to save the world by Sunday night because they have to be back at work on Monday morning.
The paperback is available on all major book websites. The e-book is currently on Amazon Kindle. You can read more about the book on the link below including reviews from Goodreads.
The second book in the series, provisionally titled The Hidden Masters and the Techno Knights is in the pipeline and features our heroes travelling west where they encounter an end of the world cult, search for a book and fall off a mountain.

Letters From
India Overland
Wayne’s adventures on the hippie trail
In his youth Wayne travelled the world, as he seems to endlessly tell people today. One of his adventures was an impromptu trip to India to explore strange ancient civilisations, to seek out new forms of intoxication, and to stonedly go where no magician has gone before. (Well actually quite a lot of people were doing that at the time.) During his trip Wayne sent home letters to his friend Bob, who has recently passed them on to us. Now we can read Wayne’s letters and learn about the scrapes he got into.

In SatNav We Trust
In SatNav We Trust is a travelogue about touring the 39 Historic Counties of England. These are those English counties that include the ones that have disappeared in all the boundary changes such as Rutland, Westmorland and places like Yorkshire that have been divided up into smaller units. The tour takes the form of a camping trip, one county a day, with no plan other than a rough anti-clockwise direction of travel up the east coast. The journey deals with the practicalities of being on the road but turns into an examination of the differences and interactions of rational and non-rational ways of looking at the world. It asks if the scientific perspective is really more valuable than a religious or philosophical perspective or is a religious perspective really more satisfying than a scientific one. The places along the way, castles and cathedrals, feats of engineering and locations from ancient history serve as a backdrop and stimulus for these discussions.
The paperback is available on all major book websites. The ebook is currently on Amazon Kindle Unlimited so if you have an account you can download it for free and lend it to a friend. You can read more about the book here including reviews from Goodreads.
