World’s Fair was an awesome book! What makes Marabou Stork Nightmares so crazy, without spoiling it?

You know, I asked that of someone who had read it previously and they struggled to explain, and now I find myself in the same position. It’s the way he injects psychological horror into the mundane. It’s replete with dark, ugly images, and contains some disturbingly violent acts, as you’d expect from Welsh. But a very good read nonetheless.
