Publisher Description
THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
'Far and away the best writer of the lot . . . his turn of phrase is a joy.' The Sunday Times
Birkenhead, 1973. The eighteen-year-old Paul O'Grady gets ready for a big Saturday night out on the town. New white T-shirt, freshly ironed jeans, looking good. As he bids farewell to his mum, who's on the phone to his auntie, and wanders off down the street in a cloud of aftershave, he hears her familiar cry: 'Oh, the devil rides out tonight, Annie. The devil rides out!'
The further adventures of Paul O'Grady - following on from the million-copy-selling At My Mother's Knee - are, if anything, even more hilarious and outrageous than what has come before. To say that The Devil Rides Out is action-packed is an understatement. Its extraordinary cast of characters includes lords and ladies, the legendary Vera, a serial killer, more prostitutes than you can shake a stick at and drag queens of every shape and size. Wickedly funny, often moving, and searingly honest, Paul's tales of the unexpected will make your jaw drop and your hair stand on end. And you'll laugh like a drain. The Devil Rides Out is one hell of a read!

The devil rides out
Really good!
RIP Paul O Grady you will be missed
I have read this book after the first Paul O Grady book. That was a good 7 years ago. I read this one after Paul’s unexpected and sad death. Again, as with the first book, I can hear Paul’s voice in my head as I have read it. The books are funny to the point of needing a tissue to wipe my eyes and constantly waking the neighbours up laughing at full volume at 1am in the morning. Most autobiographies have no soul, dry as parchment and written by boring ghost writers. But I can tell this is 100% Paul at his most outrageously sublime. I will miss you Paul, but hug all your dogs up in heaven for me including the one and only Buster.
