THE SANDMAN by Miles Gibson
£7 - 1 899344 24 1
C-format (216mm x 135mm) paperback

'A splendidly macabre achievement. As an account of descent into homicidal mania, it has seldom been bettered...' - Time Out

The notorious modern classic about the life and crimes of a lovable serial killer. Black comedy has never been blacker. Wild, wicked and very funny.

'I am the Sandman. I am the butcher in soft rubber gloves. I am the acrobat called death. I am the fear in the dark. I am the gift of sleep.'

Growing up in a small hotel in a shabby seaside town, Mackerel Burton has no idea that he is to grow up to become a slick and ruthless serial killer. A lonely boy, he amuses himself by perfecting his conjuring tricks, but slowly the magic turns to a darker kind, and he finds himself stalking the streets of London in search of random and innocent victims. He has become The Sandman.

'Confounds received notions of good taste - unspeakable acts are reported with an unwavering reasonableness essential to the comic impact and attesting to the deftness of Gibsonÿs control.' - Times Literary Supplement

'Trash! The writing is sick. Sick!' - Tulsa Ok. World
