We all know that JK Rowling is releasing her first adult novel soon, The Casual Vacancy, but what you probably don’t know is that there’s a parody novel called ‘The Vacant Casualty coming out as well. We love a good parody, and we were privileged enough to read the first chapter. And after reading it we were drooling for more. So far it is absolutely hilarious!
Some of you may be wondering how the hell can there be a parody spin spin off of a book that hasn’t been published yet? Happens all the time, you just don’t know it. Here’s the info on the upcoming novel ‘The Vacant Casualty’.

Book Description
The Vacant Casualty is not prepared, authorized, licensed, approved, or endorsed by the author or the publishers of The Casual Vacancy. Nothing ever seems to happen in the sleepy English town of Mumford – unless you count the man with the axe in his back, staggering down the street getting blood everywhere and leaving a vacancy on the Parish Council . . . Into the fray steps Detective Inspector Bradley of the C.I.D. Although he appears to be a plodding buffoon, incapable of detecting his own backside, that is exactly what he is. But when he teams up with an alcoholic, drug-addled writer researching a detective novel, together they will blunder towards the identity of the ‘vacant casualty’. They just hope to get there before everyone in the town is murdered. In this potty-mouthed, depraved, disrespectful parody, strewn with casual violence and sexual deviancy, you will discover aliens, farting tea-ladies, car chases, serial killers and lashings and lashings of tortoise milk. But no immigrants. This is the countryside, after all.
