The Wasp Factory A Novel

<b>The polarizing literary debut by Scottish author Ian Banks, <i>The Wasp Factory</i> is the bizarre, imaginative, disturbing, and darkly comic look into the mind of a child psychopath.</b><br><br>Meet Frank Cauldhame. Just sixteen, and unconventional to say the least: <br> <br>Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. <br> <br>That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. <br> <br>It was just a stage I was going through.
