IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEBODY LOSES A PENIS.
A fiendish, fell figure, face painted like a demonic clown, emerges from the Scottish barbershop community, murder in mind, revenge to take, havoc to wreak. The first to fall is an old customer, then the diabolical Koiffing Klown turns his attention to the barbers.
In ones and twos they gather at the annual Scottish barbershop convention in Perthshire, unaware a maniacal monster lurks in their midst. Among them is Barney Thomson, mild-mannered hairdressing genius, cursed to walk the earth in the company of butchers, ne’er-do-wells and psychopaths.
As the killer strikes, then strikes again and again, with every swipe of the razor he comes one step closer to Barney and the men of the Millport tonsorium. Penises are severed, blood is spilled, and screams bounce from wall to wall, echoing impotently into the night…
CURSE OF THE CLOWN, the ninth book in the Barney Thomson trilogy, is the most gruesomely hilarious yet.
Praise for the Barney Thomson series:
“Gleefully macabre, hugely enjoyable black burlesque.” The Scotsman
“This is pitch-black comedy spun from the finest writing. Fantastic plot, unforgettable scenes and plenty of twisted belly laughs.” New Woman
“Gloriously over the top, very bloody and very, very funny.” Daily Telegraph
“With classic timing and delight in the grotesque, Lindsay has crafted a macabre masterpiece where content lives up to style.” What’s On
“This is extremely well-written, highly amusing and completely unpredictable in its outrageous plot twists and turns.” The List
“Lindsay’s celebration of loserdom is surefire top-ten material.” The Face
Genre: Historical Mystery
