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 - just a normal 16-year-old serial killer living in isolation on a small island just off the North coast. His everyday life is, well, unconventional. Frank's mother has gone, his elder brother Eric is confined to a secure hospital and his father measures his own eccentricities using the imperial scale. But when Eric escapes, Frank has to make ready for his dangerous brother's impending return... a return that explodes the family's dark past and changes young Frank, forever. The Wasp Factory is Iain Banks' celebrated first novel and a work of both fascinating and horrifying imagination. First published in 1984, the now cult novel caused an immediate storm, establishing Banks' reputation as one of Scotland's most original must-read authors.
