About the Author: Luke Tanner, 22, is a dyslexic counterfeit of a writer, an impersonation of a guitarist and general all round fraud. When not locked away in a small attic in the anonymous seaside town of Saltburn trying to write his first novel ‘A One-Way Ticket To Torpor” based in the North-East of England (which remains so curiously absent in British fiction) he is a small- time hipster, who draws random illustrations that have turned into this website http://thetorporstrip.bravehost. com/index.htm
