In this surprising, darkly funny, hard-hitting and emotionally charged thriller novelette from the author of The Last Days of Jack Sparks a child of the '80s takes ever more extreme measures to protect his family's lifestyle.
Stephen Skipp loves his mother, who he thinks is “really old” at the age of 27. They have a fun time in their London home, renting films on VHS and watching TV, even if Stephen can hardly ever get her to watch Doctor Who on Saturday nights.
If their life really is so very ordinary, though, then why is a corpse slumped in the corner of their living room – and another in the downstairs toilet?
