'In Love with Hell is a masterful insider's account of how alcohol ruined and sustained the careers of eleven writers' Jim Crace, New Statesman
'A fascinating treatment of the age-old problem of writers and drink' D. J. Taylor
'Wonderfully perceptive biographies of 11 novelists and poets' Nick Cohen
In this lucid and empathetic exploration of drink in the lives and work of writers, award-winning novelist and poet William Palmer details the effect that heavy drinking had on writers, how they lived with it - and were sometimes destroyed by it - and how they described the whole private and social world of the drinker in their work.
Featuring writers from Patrick Hamilton to Jean Rhys; Dylan Thomas to Elizabeth Bishop; Anthony Burgess to Richard Yates - In Love with Hell is a sensitive and revealing deep dive into each writer's relationship with drinking and the effect it had on their creativity and private lives.
'A beautifully written account . . . with fine descriptions of the writers, their work and the times they lived in' Piers Paul Read

WILLIAM PALMER was born in 1945 and educated at schools in England and Wales. During the 1960s and 70s he lived in London and the Midlands and worked at a bewildering variety of jobs. He began writing at the age of fifteen but only became a full-time writer in the mid-80s: his first novel, The Good Republic, was published by Secker & Warburg in 1990 and since then he has had eight books published. His latest novel, The Devil is White, was published by Jonathan Cape in early 2013. His latest full-length collection of poems, The Water Steps, came out from Rack Press in 2017.
Stories and poems have appeared in many journals, including London Magazine, Poetry Review, Rialto, the Spectator, the Times Literary Supplement, and have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and 4. He has reviewed regularly for the Independent and Literary Review.
In 1997 he was awarded the Travelling Scholarship of the Society of Authors, an Arts Council Bursary followed in 2002, and the First Collection Prize for his book of poems, The Island Rescue, at the Listowel Writers' Week literary festival in 2006. He was a Writing Fellow at the University of Birmingham, 2000-3, at the University of Warwick, 2005-7, and at King's College, London, 2011-12.
