THE WASP FACTORY
"How the hell am I supposed to get heads and bodies for the Poles and the Bunker if I don't kill things?"
Meet Frank Cauldhame – a perfectly ordinary sixteen year old serial killer, living on a small island off the north coast. His mother has deserted him, his father measures his own eccentricities on an imperial scale and his brother Eric has been confined to a secure hospital for setting fire to dogs. But when news of Eric’s recent escape reaches the island, Frank must prepare the ground for Eric’s impending return…
As Ian Bank’s debut novel, The Wasp Factory caused both storm and sensation on first publication. The compulsive, macabre and darkly powerful world of Frank has enabled The Wasp Factory to become one the acclaimed cult novels in contemporary Scottish literature.
