Synopsis
In his first book, David Seabrook takes us on a deranged exploration of the Kentish coastal towns of Thanet and Medway. He fuses his observation of these depression landscapes, city centres full of unemployed young men and asylum seekers and dodgy characters, with literary and historical associations that seem through his eyes more like bad dreams than heritage advertisements for the local tourist board.

About the Author
David Seabrook lives in Canterbury. He studies English and American Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury and has been a TEFL teacher. All the Devils are Here required extensive research on a previously untouched subject and is his first book.
From Library Journal
With its explorations of the dark underbellies of the English towns of East Kent, Seabrook's work could have been just a guilty pleasure, but he has instead written a compelling and fascinating personal narrative on the level of literature. Seen through his eyes, these towns, filled with the chronically unemployed, drunks, and terrible rainy weather, are the rich stuff of the literarily bizarre. T.S. Eliot lived in these towns and later gave forth The Waste Land. John Buchan walked down a hard, stone staircase and was inspired to write his novel The Thirty-Nine Steps. We also meet a coterie of local legends: parricide Richard Dadd, noted Nazi confidence man Lord Curzon, and boxer Freddie Mills, who was brutally murdered. This English seacoast is not the milieu of famous summer holidays but of denizens of Dickens's slums. This first book by British writer Seabrook is recommended for public libraries.
