Writing on identical twin parenthood, double trouble in all its forms, and trans-dimensional and futuristic sexuality/gender. I’m the author of the novel, SILICONE GOD (MOIST/HoV), lots of queer poetry, and two nonfiction books (Mistress Ethics, Bloomsbury and F*cking Law, Zer0 Books). I’m currently editing my second novel: think A Clockwork Orange meets Judith Butler serving up the rotting flesh of biological determinism and enemy feminisms. I’m also working on a memoir/manifesto on twins and queer community building.
SILICONE GOD (MOIST Books, UK) is my queer sci-fi novel available online or any bookshop in the UK. The US edition (HOUSE OF VLAD) includes an intro from Jack Skelley and afterword by Charlene Elsby. You can order here or here, or ask your favourite independent bookstore.

praise for Silicone God:
Silicone God takes a Cronenbergian tenderness to the boundaries of queerness, forcing us to confront the social mores of monogamy, infidelity, and what it means to plumb the depths of taboo when you're still discovering who you are and what you want from the world. -Elle Nash
As unmoored from convention as it is sizzlingly hot. -Alison Rumfitt
[Vic] has served up a literary mille-feuille, with deliciously wicked cream spread between sickly sweet layers. Dark, disturbing, and deeply sensual all at once, you'll devour every page. -Samantha Allen
…Clive Barker meets Fassbinder’s The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. I inhaled every delicious spore of psychosexual brilliance. -Jillian Luft
It's a riot. I mean, how could it not be with lines like, "This isn't literature. It's leftovers." It mocks the things it loves and loves the things it mocks—the effect is fantastic fun. -Derek McCormack
…A post-porn masterpiece! -Annie Sprinkle
…Compelling, enrapturing, and gorgeous. -Jessica Stoya
…Singularity of Silicone God births horny bish whorror. #Bookgasm -Jack Skelley
All the makings of a queer cult classic. Joyfully perverse and perverted. -Laura Kaye
Reading like a collaboration between Angela Carter and Kathy Acker, this is the kind of pornosophical book we need more of in the world. -Jonathan Kemp
Strap On! Slide In! Bliss Out! Vic Brooks' Silicone God fills that yearning hole left by your earliest and most affecting weird-lit-porno crushes... sultry company for heavily-thumbed works by Charlie Jane Anders, Dennis Cooper, and Alex Trocchi. -Jamie Sutcliffe
