Nine Banded Books, 2013.
 
First edition thus (The work ‘Tool’ originally published in 1991). Paperback. 166pp. Fine condition.
 
Brutal, visceral, uncompromising transgressive literature.  The published describes this work as ‘Opening with an excruciating set piece inspired by the crimes of Ian Brady, Tool unfolds through a sequence of vivid metafictional narratives that rain hard light on the blackest recesses of a Sadean abyss, limning a ferocious tableau vivant thronged with victims and whores and jaded cops, with grief-stricken mothers, writhing AIDS casualties, and abased gloryhole habitués’.
