From the author of The Girl in the Video and House of Bad Memories comes a dark comedy of errors and toilet humour. Wentworth is at his wit’s end. He has no money, his cat’s been kidnapped, and every time he tries to kill himself, he fails. Worst of all, he lives in Kidderminster. But sometimes you’re given a lifeline. For some it’s a lottery win, for others a promotion. For Wentworth, it’s an out-of-shape 50-something named Norman wearing an ‘I was on Naked Attraction’ t-shirt and scuffed Reeboks. Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates. The two flee to Norman’s holiday home but there’s a local serial killer on the loose, something messed up is happening next door, and Norman is becoming uncomfortably clingy. Can Wentworth evade the criminal mob, shake off Norman’s advances, and uncover his neighbour’s secrets before he falls victim to the approaching serial killer? Daddy’s Boy is Shameless meets Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen with the incompetence of The Hangover.Zum Buch
The Metamorphosis** is a powerful narrative that revolves around the harrowing tale of a young man named Gregor Samsa, who, after a night filled with restless dreams, awakens to find himself inexplicably transformed into a grotesque, beetle-like creature. This sudden and horrifying change casts him into a punishingly lonely existence, forcing him to confront the shame and disgrace he brings upon his family. In his new form, Gregor feels like a stranger in his own home, epitomizing the experience of alienation that many feel in their lives. The story opens with a vivid description of Gregor’s shocking transformation. As he lies in bed, his back now covered in a hard, armor-like shell, he struggles to comprehend his new reality. Lifting his head slightly, he gazes down at his grotesque body – a vast, domed belly segmented and rigid, almost as if it were made from a thick, impenetrable material. The bed quilt, once a comforting presence, now teeters precariously atop him, threatening to slip away and expose the full extent of his bizarre predicament. His legs, thin and weak in comparison to the mass of his body, flail aimlessly before him, a pitiful sight that reinforces his helplessness. This striking imagery frames a profound exploration of human emotions: inadequacy, guilt, and the suffocating sense of isolation that can consume one’s existence.Zum Buch
