Synopsis
Silence of the Lambs meets The Life & Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Paul Lomas coldly executes his nemesis in an abandoned London basement. To fulfil his duty? To see justice done? To reap spiteful vengeance? To appease the ghost of a long dead friend? Reading like a television that constantly shifts channels, Shrapnel sucks the reader into a vortex of conflicting narratives that shock, amuse, terrify, and entertain. In this fascinating and blackly funny novel the question is never 'who killed who?', but 'why?' 'Nothing short of brilliant and inspiring. Horror and fantasy enthusiasts will be interested in Hudson's work as he has constructed truly original fiction out of an over-mined genre, while writers of all genres will no doubt marvel at Hudson's mastery of language and literary technique' - Punk Globe
