Nick Cave recommends

Heather, the Totality (2017)
Matthew Weiner
"I cringed and shuddered my way through this short, daring novel to its terrible inevitable end. Each neat, measured paragraph carpaccios its characters to get to the book's heart - one of Boschian self-cannibalising isolation. A stunning novel. Heather, The Totality blew me away."

The Cook (2011)
Wayne Macauley
"A riot of a novel. Gripping and subversive."

The Last Werewolf (2011)
(Last Werewolf, book 1)
Glen Duncan
"Magnificent. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre."
