The Wasp Factory
by Iain Banks
It's about a 16 year-old boy with "issues" living in a remote Scottish town.
excerpt:
"Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my younger brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did 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 I don't intend to ever again.
It was just a stage I was going through."
it made me squirm
