Mr. Bloody Sunshine is a fantastic debut novel from another of Nottingham's fine repertoire of self-published authors. Dean works as a droid in a soulless franchise machine, serving shit pizza's to shit people who can't comprehend why there's no large stuffed crust option. The monotonous drudgery of his day-to-day life relents only in those beautiful moments of adrenaline pumping intensity when he goes out on a kill: as such, the pace of the story shifts according to the protagonist's state of mind. Adam Watts articulates a whle range of cynical observations through Dean's often hilariously pessimistic rants about people and society, which I somewhat worryingly found myself completely agreeing with. Like a British working-class echo of American Psycho, Watts' graphic imagination is at times truly horrific, an essential quality for any good purveyor of horror, and points towards a bright future for the young novelist.
