Description

"Davis' writing debut is a triumph - utilising razor sharp whit and satire against a well crafted sci-fi world. If you're a fan of Black Mirror then this book is for you." Adam Pearson, BBC actor and TV presenter, star of the Oscar-nominated A Different Man (2024)

Conspiracy theorist Theo has a loyal online following, a DIY podcast studio in a pub basement, and a theory that interdimensional vampires are stealing people's souls. It's niche-but growing.

When disillusioned academic Audrey makes Theo the subject of her final research project, she doesn't expect his ideas to catch fire. Or go viral. Or start a revolution.

But Audrey knows his secret. And if she doesn't stop him, the world might just believe him.

HearRational is a darkly comic exploration of misinformation, fringe logic, and how New Zealand doesn't actually exist. A satire about belief, guilt, and how dangerous things get when people start asking all the wrong questions.
