Luckenbooth

This is the story of 10 Luckenbooth Close, a tenement building in Edinburgh that's been cursed by the Devil's daughter. We follow the lives of its inhabitants over the course of a century from the perspectives of nine different characters and in three parts. Some parts worked better than others - the middle section featuring William Burroughs was a real slog, for example - but other parts were so incredibly brilliant, and one simple sentence in particular bloody terrified me, so swings and roundabouts.
