The ‘Expression of Depression’ anthologies arose from a journal and pad of art therapy drawings recorded during a stint in rehab. The idea was to collate similar pieces from as many writers as possible; the desire was to provide empathy and inspiration to anyone going through a similar experience of isolation and mental struggle. ‘All the King’s Horses’ is the third volume in a series of six and contains work contributed by Nina Antonia, Sadie Frost, Lucie Barât and Fran Lock. "...A searingly honest and inspiring testament to the fact that all art, by its very existence, is life-affirming. The impulse to create is often, in the words of Leonard Cohen, the crack that lets the light in." ~ Jillian Lauren, Author of 'Some Girls: My Life in a Harem' (Plume, April 2010)

A new, updated edition of Nina Antonia's cult classic biography of The Only Ones frontman Peter Perrett. An incredible love story, as well as a tale of hard-core rock and roll, The One & Only features an introduction by long-term fan John Cooper-Clarke, an extensive additional chapter, plus exclusive interviews with the reclusive Peter and his wife, Zena, and previously unseen photographs. Considered one of the great character studies in rock literature, few biographies get as close to their subject matter as The One & Only. Charting a musical career founded in criminality and impossible behaviour, alongside the survival of a now 40-year marriage despite both partners chronic heroin addiction and Perrett s outrageous infidelity and pernickety expectations, this startling account of the enigmatic Peter Perrett and The Only Ones is shockingly candid and poignant. No ordinary rock n roll story, Nina Antonia chronicles the ascent, retreat and eventual redemption of one of contemporary music s most ephemeral yet enduring figures. The One & Only also traces the dangerous rise of heroin use amongst a coterie of musicians surrounding Perrett, including Johnny Thunders and Sid Vicious. Written from an insider s perspective and compiled as a result of numerous in-depth interviews with Perrett, wife Zena, Malcolm McLaren, fellow band members, family, friends and music journalists - The One & Only is a profound study of exquisite music and turbulent lives

"Nina Antonia's The Greenwood Faun is a haunted, haunting work. Summoning up Lucian Taylor, the hallucinated hero of Arthur Machen's The Hill of Dreams, Nina channels the curious, captivating story of what happened to Lucian's literary masterpiece after his death, and how it both saves and destroys those who come across it after it is posthumously published. Shot through with decadence, poetry, opium, and incense, with the ghost of Lionel Johnson as psychopomp and the Great God Pan heavy in the fields, this is a beautifully written proem: witty, crepuscular, enchanting, surprising." 
David Tibet, Hastings, 2017.
