SynopsisThe polarizing literary debut by Scottish author Ian Banks, The Wasp Factory is the bizarre, imaginative, disturbing, and darkly comic look into the mind of a child psychopath. Meet Frank Cauldhame. Just sixteen, and unconventional to say the least: Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental 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., Meet Frank Cauldhame.

This book is terribly demented... (I love it)
I received this book by way of mail. It was in appropriate packaging for it to be successfully delivered to me with all the words still intact. As I have started using this item, I have most taken note of how well it represents that of book form - having a cover, binding, and all the pages required to contain the author's intended words. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
