When Joseph awoke, it was somewhat of a surprise to see the four horsemen of the apocalypse thunder past his bedroom window with a blatant disregard for his usual waking routine. As suburbia was coming to terms with this rather unusual start to the day, Joseph was reluctantly coming to terms with the fact that perhaps the prophecy was true after all. Ever since his encounter with failed television star turned religious messiah Jack Connolly, Joseph had struggled with his own role as the saviour of humanity: rarely were self-certified wasters called to the ultimate battle between Good and Evil. Certainly he couldn't expect any help from his friends. Danny's encyclopaedic knowledge of Roger Moore films, although impressive was unlikely to prove beneficial come the End of Days. New girlfriend Mia was unlikely to be much help either, labouring as she was under the impression that Joseph was someone else entirely. As such he felt justified in asking how exactly he had ended up as the world's most unlikely hero.

Set in the contemporary suburbs of London, entwined with the golden days of a childhood of the 1980's, the truth lies on a treacherous path. The mysterious events of twenty years previous, long since buried, are about to awake with devastating effect. As the past, present and future converge, an important question becomes paramount: Is the oncoming apocalypse even real?

The Day Jesus Rode into Croydon expertly blends intrigue, humour and mystery into a unique and compelling story, exploring the very heart of human nature.
