The Wasp Factory is a bizarre, imaginative, disturbing, and darkly comic look into the mind of a child psychopath - one of the most infamous of contemporary Scottish novels.

'Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through.'

Enter - if you can bear it - the extraordinary private world of Frank, just sixteen, and unconventional, to say the least.

    His greatest novel. Dark, sick and hilarious.

    Thanks for such an expert opinion. It's a real shame that Iain had died before learning that he has basically wasted so much of his later years for writing novels that all were inferior to this, his greatest, novel

    Now this is a BOOK! Not just because it has pages and is made out of squashed wood and maybe a bit of glue for the spine. No this is more than the sum of its woody parts, this is Lord of the Flies on acid.
