If Tarantino did a cross between Trainspotting and Terry Southern's Blue Movie, it might come close to being as good as this drug-fuelled, lowlife riddled, frenzied romp. Loved it.

From the opening line of this book I was in knee deep and devoured it with complete abandon. Every mouthful was rich and satisfying. That I even came across this book, I have Irvine Welsh to thank for, and I include his recommendation here for you too:
IRVINE WELSH. 'BLACK NEON is a pitch black slice of neo-noir, where black magic, art house cinema, drug fuelled madness and apocolyptic violence collide with dizzying effect. I fell in love with every page.
