The Wasp Factory
Iain Banks
Iain Banks
Mr Iain Banks' debut novel exploded onto the scene when it was first published. Critics condemned it as "vile" "repellent" "unpleasant" "sadistic" and as "a silly gloatingly sadistic and grisly yarn". (Interested yet?) 'The Wasp Factory' is also brilliantly written and utterly absorbing. And it's just had it's twenty-five year anniversary- it's certainly stood the test of time.
'The Wasp Factory' tells the tale of murderous teenager Frank, who is deeply superstitious with a bizarre and overactive imagination. Frank is almost a serial killer, with three murders under his belt at just sixteen. This is a deeply addictive story which shows the inner workings of his macabre mind. 'Ware the twists and turns of the novel, it will shock and surprise you.
Give it a go.... You'll (probably) enjoy it!
Buy it here from www.waterstones.com or from your local bookshop.
(Plus, I've met Iain Banks (when he was being Iain M Banks) and he was very sweet! And patient with my gushing about how awesome his books are.)
