Dark and unnerving, this book is guaranteed to facinate in its own sinister fashion.
As a first novel, it helps to contextualise Iain Banks' future novels.
As its own artifact, the Was Factory suffers from being intriguing instead of enjoyable, often straying into the dark fantasy of a bleak young mind.
Graphic: Mental illness
Moderate: Murder
