About

A nightclub promoter returns to town and is thrown into an insidious world of designer drugs, psychosis and murder. Filled with mind-bending hallucinogenic moments, Trip City by Trevor Miller veers into the realm of Alphaville and neo-noir of the French new wave.

Since it was published in 1989, Trip City became shrouded in scandal and mystery. The original London book launch literally descended into a riot-shut-down by the Metropolitan Police. Everyone from the makers of “Raiders of The Lost Ark” through the director of Candyman tried to adapt the book into a movie, but imploded in the process.

Perhaps Trip City is uniquely summed-up by the original publisher, sci-fi legend Brian Aldiss, who wrote of the novel: "In the vintage of Thomas De Quincey's “Confessions of an Opium Eater”, but smack up to date. It's about a young man's descent into hell, a hell that looks very much like London."
