Scream if you want to go faster
Hull Fair, October 2007. A city still drowning in the aftermath of summer floodwater prepares to wave farewell to Europe's biggest travelling carnival. For six-year-old Billie, Walton Street is a magical playground of wide-eyed adventure. For David and Denise, the fading lights of the Fair signal the birth of a brand new kind of freedom. Rose, a sixty-year-old widow seeking a kindred spirit online, is dealt a hand she hadn't bargained for, while for Michelle and Darren it's the beginning of a haunted love affair that's struggling to escape its own past. As the big wheel turns above them, and the sky comes alive with noise and colour, ten ordinary lives are brought together over a single weekend in the rain-soaked city below. Perfectly capturing the frenetic pace, heartbreaking poignancy and simmering aggression of modern urban life, Scream if You Want to Go Faster is a dark, funny and abrasive novel from a stunning new voice in British fiction.
Scream If You Want to Go Faster
From the island of Barbados a serial killer recalls his catalogue of infamy - the trail of dead excused as a necessary evil of survival. When he is drawn into the local petty underworld he is convinced he has to kill again. A child is pulled from the burning wreckage of a caravan home at a funfair. The two incinerated bodies represent an escape from a life of persecution - but the demons remain. 'Scream If You Want To Go Faster' is a stunning exploration of the mentality of a serial killer - there may be more to them than you think.
Fifteen Minutes
In a world obsessed with celebrity culture do the best stories belong to ordinary people? A tramp wanders through New York on the day John Lennon is shot; a doctor remembers a Muhammad Ali fight from his childhood; a mother’s Harry Potter obsession follows the death of her child. Intentionally or not, celebrities past, present and future assert their influence over the lives of us all. Addressing this very modern phenomenon, these stories offer an unflinchingly honest and thought-provoking picture of the world in which we live. Fifteen Minutes is a short story collection about fame, presented through the extraordinary eyes of unabashedly ordinary characters.
