Factory Town
by
Russell Carver enters Factory town, a dystopian hell hole, to find a missing girl, Alana. As he goes deeper into the industrial wasteland he confronts his own troubled past, reliving scenes from an abusive childhood that continue to haunt him as an adult.
This is the second book by Bassoff and it's safe to say he has an incredibly distinctive literary voice. Whilst Corrosion was a dark and depressing tour through a broken mans psyche, this is surreal, disjointed and jarring to read but for me it worked.
This book is definitely not for everyone but I found it a fascinating read and it's good to see publishers take a chance on work that doesn't fit a genre mould.
