Hog Heaven is a satire about the fast food industry, GM food, vegetarianism, television chefs, cookery shows and the superficiality of celebrity culture.
January 24, 2007 (Press Release) --
Harry Harrington is a highly successful celebrity chef, driven hard by his ruthlessly ambitious wife Tabatha. When he cracks under the strain and starts an affair with a lusty young animal liberationist called Lucy, Tabatha plots a dark revenge. Meanwhile Harry lands a well-paid job fronting Burger Barn’s ad campaign for the world’s first diet burger, made using hi tech science. Lucy is outraged so gets her fanatical friends to launch a campaign that plunges Harry’s life into chaos.
About the Author: Mike Mannion lives in Widnes, Cheshire and works in the computer industry. Mike has written a satirical comedy entitled A Curious Chemistry about how ecological pollution caused by dubious business practices can ruin people's lives, and he’s currently writing a satire on the world of modern art entitled Children of Monet, and a comic novel about having children and growing old entitled The Blue Notes.
Excerpt from the book:
“Porcine justice rules!” exclaimed Matt to the model he was facing then grabbed the piglet from his hands.
The others followed suit and snatched a piglet away from each of the other male models. All the shouting and chaotic activity had sent the piglets into a frenzy of terror and it was difficult to hold them as they squealed and wriggled furiously.
Harry stood in the middle of it all and watched impassively, feeling like he was the eye at the centre of a hurricane. Then Lucy Vampling appeared before him and took the piglet gently out of his hands.
“Hello Harry. Jesus! You look stressed again,” she said with a cheeky yet sympathetic smile.
“Hi there. Hello. It’s you..… again,” said Harry with a beaming smile. “Wow. Hello!”
He was surprised to discover that despite the midst-of-the-battle circumstances he was genuinely glad to see his mysterious girl. He thought about the chat they’d had the previous night and the amazing sex. It was on a hard concrete floor but was still wonderful. It was one of the best things that anyone had ever done for him. He could feel himself getting aroused just thinking about it. It was as if his month’s worth of abstinence had built up a frantic volcanic desire.”
