About The Event
More Lies is a fractured, highly referential comedy thriller about a writer being held hostage in their own apartment and forced to type to hide the manoeuvres of a femme fatale, holding a pearl-handled gun, and her brother, a small-time thug with big-time ambitions. Through a series of lies, backflips and alternative versions of the tale, the author moves from being a trapped hack, forced to prostitute themselves, to dazzling the world with the acrobatics of their imagination, to the heart of the matter: storytelling is all that is keeping them alive.
More Lies is available from Interactive Publications in paperback, eBook editions and as an audiobook, narrated by Richard James Allen and Jadzea Allen, with sound design and post-production by John Hresc of Sydney Sound Brewery. Listen to the audiobook trailer here.
