Jonathan Rhodes aka Joz or Unkle Joz was the first Goth to stay at The Waverley in many years as the previous owners wouldn't accept them after an incident with some black hair dye and stained grout in a shower.
Joz's first stay was in April 2006 since when he has become a regular guest and a friend who calls to see us whenever he is in Whitby.
Today he was at The Whitby Bookshop signing copies of his new book Distended Reason which was a follow up to his first book The Dark Alternative. Both books are collections of tales with an appeal to those who like supernatural or as the latest book's strapline indicates "A disturbing miscellany."
Hopefully when Joz becomes the male J K Rowling he will still remember his friends and call in for the odd tea or coffee. Joz can be found at www.myspace.com/unklejoz and if you would like to buy a copy of his first book click on this link The Dark Alternative - GOOD LUCK JOZ
