Garth is a writer from Wilyakali country in the deserts of far western New South Wales, Australia – the Mad Max zone.
His first job was designing ads for phone sex lines; he did time as resident Atheist provocateur at a church newspaper, and drew comics for DAVID LEE ROTH just out of uni.
Garth’s first novel, HOME BREWED, VAMPIRE BULLETS, was shortlisted for a variety of prizes. Walkley Award winning journalist Richard Cooke reckons “there’s nothing like Home Brewed… – it’s new, weird, and out there, and that makes it too good not to get into!”
Garth’s next project, BLACK PILLS, is a collection of genre-bending short fiction exploring the unmitigated shit show that is our present reality.
It features the Ronald Hugh Morrieson Literary Prize winning ‘Hugo Garrett’s Exemplary Mowing Technique’.
PASS THE AMYL, Garth’s Ozploitation segment, appears semi-regularly on The Justin Hamilton Podcast.
He currently lives on the west coast of Aotearoa with his partner, their kid and a dog named Zodiac Mindwarp.
