The Wasp Factory

This is the first horror book I've read, so I started with zero expectations. The writing grew on me quickly: Our teenager hero Frank lives in a Scottish countryside on a small island with his Father. He is a ruthless, troubled kid, but with a weird air of playful innocence around him. I also loved the dark humor that goes along with the deceptions of violence and ‘eccentricities'. I am looking forward to read more such books!
