Grim news from Iain Banks

[Link Prime]

The Wasp Factory.....Amazingly disturbing, and lived on in my memory for many, many years.....

Same here. I've never been able to get that image of the fly maggots in the brain bit out of my head.
And I never will.

[Heath C Ackley]

I too was a fan of The Wasp Factory and The Crow Road. His statement alone is evidence of the man's warmth and wit.

Agree,   Link Prime,
That was exactly the part that stuck with me for years..........Just seeing it written again in your post " fly maggots in the brain " (  represses a shudder ) brings it all flooding back........A 'horrendous' piece of imagery.....A truly 'disturbing' novel and a recommended read...
